5 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [xx XXX xxxx]
9 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
11 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
12 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
13 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
14 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
18 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
19 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
20 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
21 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
22 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
23 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
27 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
28 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
29 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
30 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
34 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
37 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
42 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
43 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
44 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
45 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
46 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
47 INRIA or reporting this issue.
51 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
52 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
53 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
54 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
55 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
56 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
57 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
62 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
63 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
65 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
66 and can vary with the CTX.
69 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
71 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
72 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
73 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
74 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
75 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
77 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
79 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
80 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
82 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
84 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
85 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
86 errors for some broken certificates.
88 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
90 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
92 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
93 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
95 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
96 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
97 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
98 (negative or with leading zeroes).
100 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
101 of the OpenSSL core team.
106 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
107 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
108 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
109 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
110 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
111 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
112 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
113 the OpenSSL core team.
117 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
118 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
119 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
120 sanity and breaks all known clients.
121 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
123 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
124 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
125 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
128 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
129 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
130 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
131 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
132 announced in the initial ServerHello.
134 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
135 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
136 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
139 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
143 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
144 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
145 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
146 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
147 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
148 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
149 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
151 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
155 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
157 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
158 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
159 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
160 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
161 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
166 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
168 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
169 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
170 configured to send them.
172 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
174 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
175 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
176 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
178 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
180 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
182 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
183 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
184 DigestInfo structures.
186 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
190 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
192 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
193 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
194 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
196 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
197 Group for discovering this issue.
201 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
202 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
203 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
204 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
205 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
207 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
208 researching this issue.
212 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
213 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
214 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
215 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
217 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
222 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
223 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
224 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
228 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
229 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
230 Denial of Service attack.
231 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
235 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
236 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
237 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
238 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
243 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
244 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
245 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
247 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
252 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
253 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
254 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
255 Denial of Service attack.
257 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
258 discovering and researching this issue.
262 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
263 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
264 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
265 output to the attacker.
267 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
269 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
271 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
272 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
273 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
276 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
278 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
279 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
280 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
282 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
283 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
284 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
286 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
287 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
290 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
292 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
294 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
295 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
296 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
297 code on a vulnerable client or server.
299 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
300 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
302 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
303 are subject to a denial of service attack.
305 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
306 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
307 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
309 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
311 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
313 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
315 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
317 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
318 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
320 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
322 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
323 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
326 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
327 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
328 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
329 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
331 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
332 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
333 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
334 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
336 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
337 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
338 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
340 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
342 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
343 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
344 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
345 is at least 512 bytes long.
347 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
349 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
351 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
352 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
353 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
356 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
357 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
358 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
361 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
362 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
363 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
364 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
365 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
366 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
367 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
369 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
371 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
372 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
373 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
375 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
377 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
379 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
380 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
381 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
383 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
384 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
385 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
386 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
388 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
390 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
391 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
392 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
393 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
394 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
398 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
399 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
402 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
403 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
405 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
406 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
407 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
408 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
409 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
411 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
414 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
418 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
420 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
421 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
423 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
424 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
428 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
429 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
432 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
436 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
438 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
439 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
440 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
441 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
442 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
443 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
444 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
445 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
446 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
447 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
450 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
451 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
452 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
453 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
454 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
455 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
459 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
461 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
462 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
463 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
465 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
466 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
468 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
470 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
473 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
474 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
476 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
477 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
478 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
479 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
480 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
481 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
482 Most broken servers should now work.
483 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
484 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
487 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
490 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
492 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
493 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
496 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
497 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
498 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
499 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
500 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
503 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
504 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
505 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
506 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
507 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
510 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
511 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
513 *) Add support for SCTP.
514 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
516 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
517 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
519 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
521 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
522 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
523 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
524 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
525 - s390x: z196 support;
526 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
530 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
531 (removal of unnecessary code)
532 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
534 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
537 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
540 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
541 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
542 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
544 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
546 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
547 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
548 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
549 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
550 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
552 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
553 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
554 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
556 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
557 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
558 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
560 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
561 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
563 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
565 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
566 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
567 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
570 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
571 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
575 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
576 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
577 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
580 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
581 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
582 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
583 the appropriate parameters.
586 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
587 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
588 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
589 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
590 against a number of sample certificates.
593 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
594 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
596 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
597 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
599 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
600 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
604 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
608 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
609 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
610 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
614 *) Session-handling fixes:
615 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
616 but also support Session Tickets.
617 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
618 presented a ticket with an expired session.
619 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
620 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
621 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
622 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
624 *) Fix PSK session representation.
627 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
629 This work was sponsored by Intel.
632 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
633 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
634 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
635 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
636 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
639 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
640 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
643 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
644 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
645 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
648 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
649 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
650 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
651 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
654 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
655 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
656 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
659 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
660 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
662 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
665 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
666 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
669 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
672 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
673 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
676 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
677 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
680 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
683 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
684 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
685 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
688 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
691 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
694 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
695 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
698 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
699 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
700 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
703 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
706 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
710 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
711 FIPS modules versions.
714 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
715 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
716 until after the certificate request message is received.
719 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
720 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
721 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
722 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
725 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
726 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
727 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
728 support yet and no support for client certificates.
731 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
732 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
733 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
734 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
735 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
736 and version checking.
739 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
740 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
741 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
742 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
746 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
748 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
751 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
752 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
753 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
755 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
756 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
757 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
760 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
761 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
763 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
764 a few changes are required:
766 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
768 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
769 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
770 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
773 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
775 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
777 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
778 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
779 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
781 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
782 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
783 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
784 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
786 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
788 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
789 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
792 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
793 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
794 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
795 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
797 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
799 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
802 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
804 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
807 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
810 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
811 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
815 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
816 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
819 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
821 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
822 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
823 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
825 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
826 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
828 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
830 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
832 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
833 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
834 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
835 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
836 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
837 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
838 an MMA defence is not necessary.
839 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
840 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
843 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
844 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
845 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
848 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
850 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
851 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
852 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
853 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
856 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
858 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
859 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
860 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
861 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
862 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
863 paper describing this attack can be found at:
864 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
865 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
866 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
867 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
868 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
869 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
870 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
872 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
874 [Adam Langley (Google)]
876 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
877 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
878 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
879 [Adam Langley (Google)]
881 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
882 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
884 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
885 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
886 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
887 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
889 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
890 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
892 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
893 [Adam Langley (Google)]
895 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
896 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
898 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
899 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
900 [Adam Langley (Google)]
902 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
903 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
904 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
906 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
907 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
908 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
909 the last update always remained unused).
910 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
912 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
913 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
915 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
917 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
918 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
919 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
921 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
922 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
923 [Adam Langley (Google)]
925 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
928 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
929 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
930 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
933 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
934 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
936 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
938 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
940 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
942 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
943 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
945 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
946 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
950 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
952 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
953 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
954 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
957 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
958 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
959 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
962 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
964 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
965 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
966 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
969 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
973 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
975 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
977 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
979 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
981 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
982 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
983 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
986 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
989 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
990 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
991 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
993 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
994 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
995 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
998 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
999 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1002 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1003 some responders need this.
1006 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1008 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1010 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1011 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1012 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1015 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1018 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1019 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1020 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1021 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1022 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1023 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1024 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1025 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1028 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1029 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1030 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1031 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1033 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1034 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1036 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1040 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1041 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1042 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1043 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1044 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1045 attempting to work them out.
1048 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1049 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1050 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1051 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1054 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1055 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1056 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1057 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1058 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1061 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1062 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1069 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1071 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1075 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1076 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1078 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1079 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1081 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1082 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1083 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1084 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1085 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1088 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1089 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1090 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1093 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1094 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1097 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1098 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1100 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1101 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1104 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1107 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1108 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1109 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1113 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1114 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1115 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1116 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1117 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1118 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1121 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1122 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1124 This work was sponsored by Google.
1127 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1128 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1129 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1130 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1131 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1132 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1133 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1136 This work was sponsored by Google.
1139 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1141 This work was sponsored by Google.
1144 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1145 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1146 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1147 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1149 This work was sponsored by Google.
1152 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1153 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1154 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1155 CRL functionality in future.
1157 This work was sponsored by Google.
1160 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1162 This work was sponsored by Google.
1165 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1166 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1168 This work was sponsored by Google.
1171 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1172 and URI types are currently supported.
1174 This work was sponsored by Google.
1177 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1178 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1179 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1180 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1181 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1182 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1183 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1184 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1186 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1187 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1188 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1190 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1191 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1192 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1193 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1195 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1196 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1197 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1198 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1199 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1200 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1201 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1202 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1204 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1206 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1207 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1208 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1210 This work was sponsored by Google.
1213 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1216 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1217 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1218 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1221 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1222 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1225 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1226 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1229 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1230 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1231 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1232 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1233 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1234 content types and variants.
1237 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1240 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1241 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1242 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1243 files from the associated perl scripts.
1246 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1247 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1248 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1250 *) s390x assembler pack.
1253 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1257 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1258 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1259 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1260 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1261 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1262 to use. For example, specify an option
1264 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1266 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1267 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1268 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1269 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1270 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1271 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1273 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1274 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1275 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1276 return non-zero for success.
1278 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1281 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1282 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1286 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1289 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1290 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1291 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1292 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1293 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1294 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1295 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1296 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1297 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1299 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1300 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1301 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1302 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1303 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1304 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1306 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1307 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1308 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1309 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1310 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1311 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1315 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1318 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1320 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1321 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1322 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1325 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1326 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1329 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1330 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1331 with no application modification.
1333 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1334 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1336 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1337 or server extensions to be examined.
1339 This work was sponsored by Google.
1342 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1343 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1344 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1346 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1347 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1348 ciphersuite support.
1349 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1351 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1352 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1353 to output in BER and PEM format.
1356 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1357 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1358 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1359 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1360 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1363 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1364 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1365 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1369 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1370 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1371 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1372 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1373 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1374 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1375 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1376 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1379 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1380 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1381 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1382 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1384 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1385 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1386 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1390 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1391 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1392 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1393 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1394 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1395 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1396 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1397 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1398 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1400 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1401 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1402 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1403 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1404 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1405 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1406 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1407 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1408 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1409 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1410 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1413 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1414 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1415 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1417 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1418 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1422 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1423 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1424 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1427 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1428 it yet and it is largely untested.
1431 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1434 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1435 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1436 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1439 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1442 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1443 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1444 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1445 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1448 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1449 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1450 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1451 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1452 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1455 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1456 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1459 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1460 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1461 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1462 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1465 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1466 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1467 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1468 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1471 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1472 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1475 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1476 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1477 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1478 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1481 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1482 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1483 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1486 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1490 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1491 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1494 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1495 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1496 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1500 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1501 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1502 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1505 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1506 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1507 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1508 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1511 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1512 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1513 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1514 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1515 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1516 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1519 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1520 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1521 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1522 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1523 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1525 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1526 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1527 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1528 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1529 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1532 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1533 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1534 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1535 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1537 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1538 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1539 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1540 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1541 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1547 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1548 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1552 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1553 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1556 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1557 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1560 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1561 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1562 functional reference processing.
1565 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1566 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1570 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1571 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1572 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1575 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1576 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1577 application to support multiple signers.
1580 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1584 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1585 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1586 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1587 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1588 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1591 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1595 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1596 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1597 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1598 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1602 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1603 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1604 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1605 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1606 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1607 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1608 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1609 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1612 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1613 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1614 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1615 between digests and public key types.
1618 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1619 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1620 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1621 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1624 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1625 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1629 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1632 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1636 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1637 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1638 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1639 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1644 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1646 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1648 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1650 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1651 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1652 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1653 functionality for RSA.
1656 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1657 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1658 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1661 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1662 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1665 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1666 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1667 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1670 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1671 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1674 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1675 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1678 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1679 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1683 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1684 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1685 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1689 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1690 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1691 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1692 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1693 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1694 of public and private key structures.
1697 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1698 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1701 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1702 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1703 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1706 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1710 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1711 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1712 SSL_get_psk_identity
1713 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1715 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1717 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1718 and response verification functionality.
1719 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1721 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1722 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1723 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1724 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1725 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1726 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1727 server_name extension.
1729 New functions (subject to change):
1731 SSL_get_servername()
1732 SSL_get_servername_type()
1735 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1737 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1738 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1739 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1740 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1741 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1743 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1745 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1746 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1747 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1748 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1749 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1750 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1753 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1755 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1758 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1759 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1760 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1761 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1762 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1765 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1766 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1770 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1771 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1772 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1773 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1776 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1777 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1778 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1779 using the maximum available value.
1782 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1783 in addition to the text details.
1786 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1787 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1788 handle several customised structures at all.
1791 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1792 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1793 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1796 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1799 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1800 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1801 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1804 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1805 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1806 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1809 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1810 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1814 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1817 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1820 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
1822 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1824 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1825 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1826 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1828 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1829 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1830 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1831 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1833 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1835 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1836 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1839 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1840 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1841 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1842 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1843 (This is a backport)
1844 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1846 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1849 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
1851 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1854 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1855 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1859 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1860 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1863 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
1865 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
1866 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
1867 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
1868 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
1869 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1871 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
1873 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1874 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1875 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1877 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1878 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1880 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1882 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
1884 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1885 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1886 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1887 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1888 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1889 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1890 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1891 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1892 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1895 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1896 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1897 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1900 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
1902 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1903 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1904 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1905 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1908 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
1910 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1911 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1912 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1913 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1914 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1915 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1916 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1917 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1918 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1919 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1920 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1921 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1922 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1924 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
1925 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
1927 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1929 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1931 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1932 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1933 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1934 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1936 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1937 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1938 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1939 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1941 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1942 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1944 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1945 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1947 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1948 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1949 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1951 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1952 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1953 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1955 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1956 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1957 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1958 the last update always remained unused).
1959 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1961 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1962 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1963 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1965 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1968 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1969 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1971 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1973 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1975 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
1977 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1978 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1980 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1981 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1985 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1987 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1988 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1989 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1992 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1993 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1994 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1997 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1999 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2000 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2001 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2004 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
2007 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
2008 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
2009 some broken encodings work correctly.
2012 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
2013 is also one of the inputs.
2014 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2016 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
2017 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
2018 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
2022 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
2024 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
2027 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
2028 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
2029 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
2031 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
2032 common in certificates and some applications which only call
2033 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
2037 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
2038 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
2039 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
2040 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
2042 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2044 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2045 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2046 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2047 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2048 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2049 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2050 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2051 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2053 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2054 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2055 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2057 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2059 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2060 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2062 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2063 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2066 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2067 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2068 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2071 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2072 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2073 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2074 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2075 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2076 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2079 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2080 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2081 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2084 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2085 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2086 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2087 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2088 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2089 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2093 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2094 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2097 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2098 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2099 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2102 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2105 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2106 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2107 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2108 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2109 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2110 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2111 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2112 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2113 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2116 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2117 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2118 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2121 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2122 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2125 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2126 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2127 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2128 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2129 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2130 know what you are doing.
2131 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2133 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2134 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2135 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2136 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2137 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2138 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2142 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2143 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2144 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2146 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2148 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2149 warnings in other configurations.
2152 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2153 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2154 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2156 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2158 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2159 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2160 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2162 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2163 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2164 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2165 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2168 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2172 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2173 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2175 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2177 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2178 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2179 other than a simple chain.
2180 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2182 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2183 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2184 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2185 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2188 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2189 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2190 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2191 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2192 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2193 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2194 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2195 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2196 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2198 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2199 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2200 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2201 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2202 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2203 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2205 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2207 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2208 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2211 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2212 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2215 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2217 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2219 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2220 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2221 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2222 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2223 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2227 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2229 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2230 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2231 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2232 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2234 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2235 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2236 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2237 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2239 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2240 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2241 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2244 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2245 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2249 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2250 to handle some structures.
2253 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2255 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2257 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2260 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2263 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2266 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2267 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2271 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2273 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2275 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2277 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2280 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2281 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2282 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2283 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2285 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2286 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2288 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2289 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2292 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2293 s_client and s_server.
2296 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2297 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2299 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2300 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2302 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2303 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2304 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2305 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2306 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2309 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2311 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2312 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2315 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2316 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2319 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2320 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2321 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2322 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2324 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2325 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2327 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2329 *) Various precautionary measures:
2331 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2333 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2334 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2335 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2337 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2338 outside the expected range.
2340 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2343 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2345 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2346 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2347 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2349 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2352 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2355 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2357 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2360 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2361 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2362 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2364 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2367 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2368 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2369 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2373 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2375 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2376 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2377 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2378 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2380 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2381 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2384 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2386 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2387 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2388 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2390 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2392 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2393 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2394 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2395 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2398 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2399 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2400 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2401 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2402 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2403 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2404 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2406 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2408 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2409 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2410 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2411 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2412 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2414 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2415 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2417 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2418 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2419 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2420 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2421 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2423 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2425 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2426 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2427 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2428 sets may exist with different names.
2431 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2432 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2433 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2434 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2435 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2436 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2437 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2438 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2439 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2441 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2443 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2444 implemention in the following ways:
2446 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2449 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2450 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2451 ignored for embedded content.
2453 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2454 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2457 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2458 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2459 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2460 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2462 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2463 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2466 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2467 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2470 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2471 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2472 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2473 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2474 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2475 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2479 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2480 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2481 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2485 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2486 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2487 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2488 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2489 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2490 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2491 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2492 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2494 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2495 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2496 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2497 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2498 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2499 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2500 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2502 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2503 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2504 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2505 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2506 to s_client and s_server.
2509 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2511 *) Fix various bugs:
2512 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2513 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2514 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2515 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2516 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2518 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2520 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2521 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2522 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2523 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2524 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2525 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2526 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2527 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2530 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2531 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2532 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2535 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2536 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2537 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2540 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2541 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2544 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2545 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2546 with no application modification.
2548 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2549 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2551 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2552 or server extensions to be examined.
2554 This work was sponsored by Google.
2557 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2558 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2559 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2560 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2561 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2562 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2563 server_name extension.
2565 New functions (subject to change):
2567 SSL_get_servername()
2568 SSL_get_servername_type()
2571 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2573 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2574 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2575 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2576 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2577 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2579 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2581 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2582 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2583 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2584 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2585 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2586 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2589 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2591 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2594 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2597 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2598 (which previously caused an internal error).
2601 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2604 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2605 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2607 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2608 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2609 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2611 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2612 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2613 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2614 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2616 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2617 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2618 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2619 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2621 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2622 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2623 information. For detailed background information, see
2624 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2625 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2626 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2627 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2628 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2629 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2630 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2631 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2632 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2633 remove a conditional branch.
2635 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2636 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2637 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2638 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2639 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2640 remains as a deprecated alias.
2642 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2643 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2644 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2645 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2647 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2648 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2649 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2650 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2651 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2652 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2653 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2654 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2656 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2658 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2659 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2660 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2661 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2662 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2663 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2664 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2665 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2666 in a different context.
2669 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2670 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2671 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2674 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2675 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2676 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2678 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2680 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2681 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2682 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2683 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2684 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2687 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2688 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2689 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2690 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2691 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2692 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2695 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2696 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2697 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2698 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2699 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2702 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2703 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2705 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2706 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2707 Improve header file function name parsing.
2710 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2711 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2714 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2716 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2717 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2718 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2720 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2721 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2723 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2724 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2726 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2727 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2728 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2730 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2731 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2732 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2733 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2734 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2735 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2736 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2737 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2738 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2740 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2741 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2742 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2743 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2744 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2746 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2747 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2748 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2749 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2750 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2751 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2752 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2753 multiple values to extend the available space.
2757 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2759 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2760 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2762 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2765 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2766 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2767 undesirable limitations.
2768 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2770 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2771 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2772 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2773 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2774 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2775 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2776 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2779 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2781 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2782 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2783 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2785 The latter two were purportedly from
2786 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2789 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2790 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2791 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2794 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2795 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2798 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2799 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2800 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2801 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2803 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2804 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2805 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2808 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2809 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2810 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2811 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2812 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2813 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2816 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2818 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2819 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2822 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2823 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2825 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2826 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2827 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2828 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2831 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2832 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2835 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2836 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2837 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2838 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2839 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2840 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2841 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2845 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2846 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2847 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2848 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2851 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2852 under VC++ build system.
2855 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2856 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2859 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2861 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2862 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2863 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2864 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2865 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2867 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2868 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2869 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2871 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2874 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2875 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2878 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2879 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2881 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2884 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2885 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2887 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2888 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2891 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2892 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2896 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2898 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2901 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2904 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2905 key into the same file any more.
2908 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2911 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2912 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2914 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2915 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2918 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2919 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2920 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2921 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2922 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2923 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2925 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2926 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2927 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2930 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2931 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2932 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2933 - add new function for parameter creation
2934 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2935 BN_BLINDING parameters
2936 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2937 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2938 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2942 *) Add support for DTLS.
2943 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2945 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2946 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2949 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2950 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2953 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2954 the apps/openssl applications.
2957 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2958 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2959 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2962 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2963 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2965 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2966 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2968 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2969 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2970 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2971 avoid this algorithm.)
2975 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2976 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2977 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2980 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2981 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2984 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2985 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2986 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2989 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2991 The blank line is mandatory.
2995 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2996 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3000 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3001 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3003 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3004 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3005 to support policy checking and print out.
3008 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3009 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3010 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3011 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3013 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3016 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3017 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3019 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3020 implementation contributed by IBM.
3021 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3023 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3024 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3025 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3026 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3028 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3029 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3031 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3032 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3033 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3034 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3035 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3036 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3039 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3040 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3041 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3042 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3043 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3044 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3045 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3048 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3051 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3052 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3053 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3054 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3055 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3056 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3057 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3058 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3061 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3062 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3063 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3064 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3067 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3070 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3073 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3074 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3075 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3076 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3077 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3078 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3079 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3082 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3083 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3086 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3087 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3088 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3091 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3092 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3093 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3097 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3098 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3101 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3102 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3103 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3104 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3107 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3108 initialised value as BN_new().
3109 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3111 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3114 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3115 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3116 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3117 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3118 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3119 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3120 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3121 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3122 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3123 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3124 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3125 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3126 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3127 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3128 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3130 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3131 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3132 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3133 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3136 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3137 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3138 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3139 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3140 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3141 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3142 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3143 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3144 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3147 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3148 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3149 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3150 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3151 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3152 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3153 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3156 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3157 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3158 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3159 these have been updated also.
3162 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3163 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3164 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3165 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3166 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3170 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3171 structure of type "other".
3174 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3175 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3176 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3177 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3178 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3179 situation in the script.
3180 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3182 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3183 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3184 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3185 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3186 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3187 used as premaster secret.
3188 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3190 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3191 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3192 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3194 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3195 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3197 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3198 control of the error stack.
3201 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3204 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3205 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3206 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3207 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3210 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3211 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3212 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3215 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3216 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3217 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3221 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3222 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3223 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3224 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3227 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3228 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3229 the following flags are defined:
3231 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3232 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3233 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3236 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3237 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3238 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3239 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3243 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3244 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3245 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3246 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3247 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3250 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3251 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3252 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3255 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3256 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3257 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3258 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3259 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3260 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3263 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3267 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3270 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3273 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3276 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3277 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3278 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3279 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3280 default implementation more easily.
3283 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3287 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3288 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3291 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3292 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3293 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3294 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3296 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3297 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3298 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3299 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3302 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3303 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3307 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3308 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3309 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3310 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3311 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3312 scalar * generator).
3313 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3315 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3316 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3317 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3321 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3322 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3323 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3324 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3325 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3326 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3327 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3328 linker additions, eg;
3329 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3332 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3333 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3334 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3337 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3338 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3339 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3343 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3344 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3345 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3346 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3349 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3350 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3351 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3352 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3353 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3354 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3355 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3356 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3357 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3358 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3360 Example for using the new callback interface:
3362 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3366 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3368 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3369 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3370 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3371 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3372 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3373 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3378 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3379 available to TLS with the number defined in
3380 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3383 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3384 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3386 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3387 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3388 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3389 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3391 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3392 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3394 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3395 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3399 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3400 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3403 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3404 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3405 and a macro that behave like
3406 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3408 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3411 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3412 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3413 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3415 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3417 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3420 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3421 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3422 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3423 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3425 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3426 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3427 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3428 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3429 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3430 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3431 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3432 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3434 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3435 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3438 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3439 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3441 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3442 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3443 files while avoiding the low level API.
3445 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3446 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3447 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3448 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3450 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3451 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3452 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3453 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3454 instead of the low level API.
3457 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3458 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3459 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3460 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3461 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3464 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3465 down to the template encoder.
3468 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3469 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3472 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3473 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3474 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3475 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3477 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3478 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3480 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3481 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3483 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3484 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3487 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3488 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3489 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3492 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3493 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3495 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3496 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3498 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3499 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3502 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3506 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3507 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3508 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3509 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3510 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3511 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3513 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3514 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3517 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3518 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3519 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3520 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3521 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3522 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3523 various internal method names.)
3525 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3526 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3528 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3529 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3531 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3532 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3534 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3535 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3536 methods are undefined.
3538 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3539 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3541 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3542 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3543 length of the modulus.
3545 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3546 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3548 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3549 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3551 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3552 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3554 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3555 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3556 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3559 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3560 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3561 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3562 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3564 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3565 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3566 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3567 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3569 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3570 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3572 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3573 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3574 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3575 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3576 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3578 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3579 This applies to the following functions:
3584 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3585 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3587 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3588 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3592 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3597 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3599 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3600 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3601 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3602 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3603 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3605 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3606 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3608 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3609 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3610 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3612 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3613 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3615 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3616 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3617 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3618 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3619 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3621 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3623 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3624 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3625 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3626 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3627 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3628 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3629 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3630 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3631 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3632 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3633 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3634 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3636 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3639 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3640 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3641 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3642 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3644 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3645 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3646 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3647 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3652 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3653 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3654 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3655 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3656 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3658 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3659 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3660 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3661 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3662 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3663 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3664 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3665 adding different types of curves.
3666 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3668 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3669 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3670 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3673 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3674 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3676 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3677 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3678 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3679 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3681 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3683 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3684 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3686 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3687 library. Most notably,
3688 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3689 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3690 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3691 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3692 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3693 extracted before the specific public key;
3694 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3695 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3697 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3698 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3700 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3701 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3702 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3703 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3705 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3706 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3707 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3709 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3710 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3711 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3712 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3713 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3714 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3718 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3720 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3722 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3724 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3725 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3726 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3729 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3730 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3731 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3734 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3737 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3738 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3741 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3742 run algorithm test programs.
3745 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3748 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3749 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3750 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3751 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3752 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3755 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3756 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3759 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3761 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3762 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3763 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3765 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3766 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3768 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3769 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3771 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3772 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3773 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3775 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3776 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3777 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3778 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3779 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3780 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3781 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3784 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3786 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3787 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3789 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3790 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3791 undesirable limitations.
3792 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3794 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3796 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3797 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3798 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3800 The latter two were purportedly from
3801 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3804 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3805 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3806 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3809 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3810 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3813 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3815 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3816 module in FIPS mode.
3819 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3822 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3823 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3824 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3825 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3828 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3830 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3831 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3832 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3833 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3834 the difference induced by this change.
3837 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3839 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3840 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3841 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3842 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3843 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3845 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3846 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3847 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3849 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3850 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3853 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3854 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3855 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3856 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3860 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3861 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3862 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3863 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3864 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3866 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3867 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3868 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3869 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3870 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3871 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3873 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3875 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3876 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3877 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3878 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3879 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3882 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3886 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3887 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3888 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3891 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3892 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3893 structures constant.
3896 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3898 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3901 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3902 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3903 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3904 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3905 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3906 some needed definitions.
3909 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3912 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3913 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3914 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3915 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3918 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3920 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3921 server and client random values. Previously
3922 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3923 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3925 This change has negligible security impact because:
3927 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3930 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3933 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3934 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3937 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3940 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3942 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3945 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3946 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3947 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3949 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3952 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3953 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3956 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3957 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3958 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3960 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3963 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3964 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3965 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3969 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3970 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3971 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3972 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3974 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3975 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3976 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3977 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3981 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3983 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3984 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3985 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3986 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3987 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3990 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3993 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3994 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3996 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3997 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3998 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3999 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4000 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4001 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4002 rather than being initialized to 1.
4005 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4007 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4008 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4009 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4011 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4013 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4015 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4016 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4017 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4018 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4019 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4020 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4023 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4024 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4025 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4026 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4027 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4031 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4032 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4033 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4034 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4035 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4038 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4039 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4040 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4044 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4045 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4047 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4050 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4052 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4054 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4055 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4057 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4059 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4060 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4064 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4065 exiting on the first error in a request.
4068 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4069 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4073 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4074 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4075 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4076 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4078 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4079 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4082 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4083 blocks during encryption.
4086 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4087 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4088 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4089 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4093 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4094 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4095 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4096 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4097 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4101 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4103 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4104 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4105 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4106 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4109 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4110 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4111 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4112 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4113 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4115 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4116 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4117 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4118 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4119 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4120 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4121 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4122 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4123 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4126 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4127 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4128 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4129 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4132 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4133 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4136 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4138 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4139 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4140 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4141 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4142 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4144 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4145 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4146 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4148 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4149 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4150 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4151 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4152 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4154 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4155 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4156 used by default when no-err is given.
4159 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4160 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4162 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4163 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4164 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4165 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4166 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4168 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4169 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4170 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4171 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4173 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4175 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4177 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4179 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4180 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4181 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4182 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4186 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4187 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4189 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4190 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4193 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4194 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4195 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4196 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4199 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4200 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4201 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4202 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4203 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4204 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4205 followup to PR #377.
4208 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4209 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4212 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4213 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4214 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
4215 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
4217 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
4219 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
4222 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
4223 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
4224 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
4225 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
4227 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4231 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
4232 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
4236 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4237 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4238 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4239 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4240 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4241 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4243 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4244 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4245 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4246 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4247 have to be made anyway).
4250 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4251 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4252 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4255 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4256 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4257 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4260 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4261 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4262 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4264 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4265 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4266 edit numbers of the version.
4267 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4269 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
4270 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4271 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4273 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4274 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4276 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4277 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4278 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4280 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4283 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4284 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4286 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4287 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4289 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4290 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4292 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4294 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4296 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4297 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4300 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4301 representations in a platform independent manner.
4302 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4304 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4305 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4306 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4308 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4310 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4312 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4313 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4315 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4317 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4319 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4320 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4321 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4323 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4325 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4327 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4328 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4330 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4331 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4333 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4334 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4336 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4337 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4339 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4341 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4343 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4344 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4346 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4347 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4349 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4350 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4352 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4354 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4355 the 0.9.6 release series:
4357 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4358 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4360 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4362 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4365 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4366 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4368 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4369 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4371 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4372 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4373 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4374 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4376 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4377 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4378 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4380 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4381 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4382 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4383 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4385 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4386 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4387 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4390 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4391 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4392 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4393 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4394 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4395 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4396 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4397 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4400 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4401 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4402 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4405 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4406 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4407 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4408 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4409 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4411 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4412 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4414 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4415 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4418 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4419 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4420 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4421 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4422 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4423 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4426 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4427 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4428 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4431 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4432 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4435 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4436 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4437 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4438 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4439 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4440 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4441 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4444 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4445 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4446 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4447 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4448 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4449 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4452 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4453 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4454 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4455 declaration has been changed from
4458 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4459 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4460 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4461 has been changed into
4462 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4464 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4465 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4466 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4468 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4469 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4471 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4472 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4473 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4474 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4475 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4476 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4477 always load it have also been added.
4480 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4481 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4482 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4484 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4486 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4487 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4488 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4490 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4491 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4492 command line option can be used to specify an
4496 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4497 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4500 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4501 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4502 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4505 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4506 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4507 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4508 to work with the new engine framework.
4509 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4511 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4512 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4513 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4514 to work with the new engine framework.
4517 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4518 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4519 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4521 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4522 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4524 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4525 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4526 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4527 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4529 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4531 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4532 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4534 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4535 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4537 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4538 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4539 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4542 *) Add new functions
4544 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4545 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4546 These are similar to
4549 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4550 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4551 still in the error queue.
4552 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4554 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4556 default_algorithms = ALL
4557 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4560 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4563 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4566 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4567 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4568 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4569 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4571 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4572 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4574 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4575 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4577 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4578 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4581 *) New functions/macros
4583 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4584 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4585 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4586 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4588 to request calling a callback function
4590 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4591 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4593 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4594 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4595 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4596 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4597 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4598 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4599 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4600 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4601 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4602 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4604 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4605 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4608 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4609 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4610 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4611 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4612 the configuration scripts.
4614 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4615 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4616 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4618 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4619 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4621 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4622 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4623 when reusing an existing buffer.
4626 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4627 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4630 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4631 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4634 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4635 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4636 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4637 has the same effect.
4638 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4640 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4641 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4642 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4643 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4644 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4645 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4648 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4649 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4650 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4651 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4653 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4654 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4655 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4656 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4658 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4659 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4662 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4663 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4664 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4665 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4666 default), and then completely removed.
4669 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4670 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4671 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4672 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4673 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4674 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4675 particular extension is supported.
4678 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4679 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4682 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4683 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4684 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4685 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4686 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4687 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4688 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4689 requires the destination to be valid.
4691 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4692 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4695 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4696 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4697 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4700 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4701 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4703 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4704 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4705 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4706 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4707 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4708 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4709 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4710 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4711 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4712 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4713 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4714 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4715 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4716 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4717 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4718 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4719 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4720 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4721 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4725 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4728 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4729 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4730 become part of libeay.num as well.
4733 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4734 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4735 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4736 false once a handshake has been completed.
4737 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4738 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4739 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4740 client has followed the request.)
4743 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4744 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4745 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4746 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4748 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4749 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4750 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4753 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4756 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4757 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4758 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4761 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4762 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4765 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4766 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4767 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4768 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4771 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4772 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4773 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4774 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4775 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4776 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4779 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4780 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4781 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4782 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4783 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4784 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4785 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4786 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4789 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4790 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4793 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4796 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4797 md_data void pointer.
4800 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4801 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4802 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4803 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4804 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4805 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4808 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4809 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4810 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4811 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4812 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4813 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4814 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4815 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4816 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4817 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4818 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4819 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4820 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4821 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4822 rather than letting it slide.
4824 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4825 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4826 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4829 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4830 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4831 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4832 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4833 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4834 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4835 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4836 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4837 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4840 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4841 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4842 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4843 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4844 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4846 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4849 *) Add EVP test program.
4852 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4855 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4856 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4857 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4858 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4859 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4862 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4863 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4864 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4865 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4866 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4867 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4868 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4870 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4871 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4872 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4877 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4878 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4879 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4880 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4881 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4885 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4886 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4887 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4888 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4891 des_key_schedule ks;
4893 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4894 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4896 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4899 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4900 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4901 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4902 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4903 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4904 functions prevents this.
4907 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4910 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4911 correct _ecb suffix.
4914 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4915 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4916 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4917 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4918 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4921 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4924 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4925 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4926 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4927 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4929 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4930 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4932 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4933 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4934 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4935 via Richard Levitte]
4937 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4938 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4939 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4940 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4943 *) Speed up EVP routines.
4946 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

4961 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4962 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4964 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4965 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4966 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4967 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4968 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4969 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4972 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4973 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4976 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4977 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4978 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4979 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4981 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4982 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4983 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4984 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4985 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4986 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4990 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4991 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4992 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4993 and interrupts/cancellations.
4996 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4997 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5000 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5001 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5002 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5004 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5005 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5009 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5010 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5011 than this minimum value is recommended.
5014 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5015 that are easily reachable.
5018 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5019 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5021 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5023 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5024 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5025 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5026 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5029 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5030 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5031 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5034 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5035 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5036 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5037 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5038 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5039 internally such as S/MIME.
5041 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5042 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5043 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5045 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5049 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5050 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5051 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5052 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5054 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5056 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5058 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5059 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5060 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5064 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5065 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5066 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5067 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5068 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5069 a window system and the like.
5072 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5073 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5076 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5077 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5078 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5079 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5080 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5081 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5082 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5083 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5084 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5088 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5089 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5093 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5094 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5095 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5096 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5097 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5098 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5099 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5100 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5103 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5104 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5105 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5106 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5107 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5108 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5109 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5110 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5111 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5112 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5113 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5114 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5115 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5116 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5117 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5118 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5119 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5122 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5123 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5124 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5125 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5126 internal engine_int.h header.
5129 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5130 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5131 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5132 modify their own ones).
5135 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5136 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5137 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5138 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5139 later on via ctrl() commands.
5140 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5141 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5142 structural references.
5143 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5144 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5145 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5146 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5147 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5148 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5149 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5150 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5151 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5152 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5153 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5154 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5157 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5158 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5159 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5160 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5161 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5162 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5163 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5164 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5167 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5168 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5171 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5172 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5175 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5176 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5177 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5178 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5179 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5180 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5181 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5184 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5185 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5186 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5187 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5188 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5190 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5191 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5195 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5197 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5198 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5199 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5201 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5202 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5204 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5205 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5206 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5208 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5209 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5211 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5212 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5214 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5216 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5217 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5218 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5221 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5222 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5225 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5226 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5227 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5228 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5229 is 40 of more characters long.
5232 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5233 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5237 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5238 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5241 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5242 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5246 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5248 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5249 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5252 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5254 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5255 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5256 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5258 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5259 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5261 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5264 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5268 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5269 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5270 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5271 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5273 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5275 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5276 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5278 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5279 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5280 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5281 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5282 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5283 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5285 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5286 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5288 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5289 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5291 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5292 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5294 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5295 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5296 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5297 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5299 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5300 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5302 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5303 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5305 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5306 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5307 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5308 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5309 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5312 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5313 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5314 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5315 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5318 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5319 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5320 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5324 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5325 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5326 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5327 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5328 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5329 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5330 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5331 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5335 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5336 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5339 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5340 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5341 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5342 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5345 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5346 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5347 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5348 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5349 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5350 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5351 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5352 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5353 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5354 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5357 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5358 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5359 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5360 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5361 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5362 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5363 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5364 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5366 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5367 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5368 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5369 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5372 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5373 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5374 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5375 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5377 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5378 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5379 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5380 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5381 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5385 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5386 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5387 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5388 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5392 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5393 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5394 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5397 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5398 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5399 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5400 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5401 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5404 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5407 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5408 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5409 option to ocsp utility.
5412 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5413 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5414 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5415 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5416 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5417 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5418 the request is nonce-less.
5421 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5422 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5423 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5426 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5427 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5428 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5431 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5432 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5433 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5434 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5435 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5438 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5439 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5443 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5444 additional certificates supplied.
5447 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5448 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5452 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5453 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5456 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5457 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5458 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5459 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5460 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5461 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5462 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5463 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5464 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5466 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5467 request to response.
5470 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5471 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5472 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5473 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5474 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5475 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5476 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5477 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5478 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5479 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5480 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5483 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5484 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5485 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5486 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5489 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5490 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5492 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5493 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5494 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5497 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5498 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5499 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5500 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5501 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5503 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5504 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5505 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5508 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5509 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5510 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5511 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5512 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5513 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5514 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5515 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5517 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5518 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5519 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5520 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5521 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5522 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5525 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5526 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5527 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5528 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5529 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5530 printout format cleaned up.
5533 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5534 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5535 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5536 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5537 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5538 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5539 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5540 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5543 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5544 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5545 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5546 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5547 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5548 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5549 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5550 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5553 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5554 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5555 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5556 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5558 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5560 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5561 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5562 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5563 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5566 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5567 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5568 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5569 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5571 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5573 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5574 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5575 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5576 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5578 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5579 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5581 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5582 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5583 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5586 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5587 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5588 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5591 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5592 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5593 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5594 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5595 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5596 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5597 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5598 functions are provided:
5600 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5601 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5602 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5603 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5605 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5606 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5607 extended allocation function is enabled.
5608 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5609 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5610 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5612 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5613 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5614 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5615 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5616 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5619 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5620 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5621 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5623 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5624 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5625 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5628 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5629 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5630 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5631 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5632 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5633 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5634 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5635 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5636 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5639 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5640 provide utility functions which an application needing
5641 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5642 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5643 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5645 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5646 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5647 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5648 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5649 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5650 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5651 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5652 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5653 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5655 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5656 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5657 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5658 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5661 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5662 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5663 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5664 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5665 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5666 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5667 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5668 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5669 will be added elsewhere.
5672 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5673 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5674 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5675 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5678 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5679 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5680 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5681 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5682 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5683 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5684 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5685 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5686 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5687 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5688 to produce the required SET OF.
5691 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5692 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5693 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5696 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5697 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5698 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5699 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5700 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5701 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5704 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5705 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5706 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5709 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5710 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5711 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5714 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5715 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5716 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5717 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5718 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5721 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5722 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5725 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5726 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5727 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5728 certifcates and CRLs.
5731 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5732 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5733 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5736 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5737 entries for variables.
5740 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5741 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5742 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5743 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5746 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5747 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5748 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5749 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5750 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5751 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5754 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5755 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5757 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5758 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5759 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5762 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5766 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5767 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5768 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5769 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5770 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5771 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5774 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5777 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5778 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5779 for now but they will eventually go away.
5782 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5783 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5784 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5785 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5786 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5787 has also been converted to the new form.
5790 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5791 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5792 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5793 for negative moduli.
5796 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5797 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5800 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5804 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5805 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5806 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5807 type-specific callbacks.
5810 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5812 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5813 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5815 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5816 in sections depending on the subject.
5819 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5823 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5824 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5825 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5826 be handled deterministically).
5827 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5829 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5830 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5831 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5834 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5837 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5838 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5839 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5840 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5841 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5844 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5845 sign of the number in question.
5847 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5849 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5850 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5851 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5852 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5853 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5856 *) New function BN_swap.
5859 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5860 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5861 results on negative inputs.
5864 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5865 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5866 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5869 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5870 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5871 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5872 and add new functions:
5881 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5885 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5887 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5888 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5890 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5891 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5892 be reduced modulo m.
5893 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5896 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5897 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5898 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5900 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5901 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5902 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5903 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5904 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5905 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5910 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5911 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5912 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5913 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5914 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5916 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5917 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5918 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5922 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5925 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5926 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5929 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5930 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5931 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5932 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5936 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5939 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5942 *) Add the following functions:
5944 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5946 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5948 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5950 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5951 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5952 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5953 libraries unless it's really needed.
5955 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5956 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5957 declarations (they differed!).
5960 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5963 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5966 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5969 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5970 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5973 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5974 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5975 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5977 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5978 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5981 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5984 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5987 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5990 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5991 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5992 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5994 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5995 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5996 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5997 different shared library filenames on each system.
6000 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6003 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6004 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6005 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6007 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6010 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6011 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6012 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6013 binary backward compatibility.
6014 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6015 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6016 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6020 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6021 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6022 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6023 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6027 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6030 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6031 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6032 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6033 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6037 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6040 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6042 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6043 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6044 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6046 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6048 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6050 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6051 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6054 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6056 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6058 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6059 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6061 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6062 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6066 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6067 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6071 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6072 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6073 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6074 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6076 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6077 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6080 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6082 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6083 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6084 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6085 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6088 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6089 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6090 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6091 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6092 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6094 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6095 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6096 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6097 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6098 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6099 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6100 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6101 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6102 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6105 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6107 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6108 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6109 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6110 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6111 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6113 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6114 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6115 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6117 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6119 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6120 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6121 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6122 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6123 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6124 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6127 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6128 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6129 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6130 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6131 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6134 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6135 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6136 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6138 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6139 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6140 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6144 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6145 being properly terminated.
6148 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6149 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6150 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6151 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6153 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6154 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6155 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6156 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6157 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6158 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6159 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6161 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6163 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6164 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6167 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6168 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6169 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6170 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6171 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6172 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6173 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6174 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6176 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6177 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6178 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6179 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6180 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6182 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6183 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6186 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6188 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6189 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6190 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6192 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6194 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6195 and get fix the header length calculation.
6196 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6197 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6200 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6201 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6202 assertions could call abort()).
6203 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6205 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6207 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6208 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6209 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6211 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6213 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6214 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6215 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6218 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6222 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6223 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6224 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6226 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6227 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6228 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6229 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6230 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6234 *) Changes in security patch:
6236 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6237 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6238 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6241 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6242 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6243 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6244 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6245 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6247 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6249 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6251 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6252 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6253 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6255 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6256 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6257 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6259 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6260 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6261 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6263 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6265 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6266 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6267 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6269 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6270 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6272 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6273 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6274 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6275 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6276 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6277 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6280 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6281 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6282 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6283 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6286 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6289 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6290 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6291 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6292 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6293 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6294 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6296 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6297 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6298 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6299 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6300 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6303 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6304 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6305 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6306 BN_generate_prime().)
6308 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6309 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6310 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6314 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6315 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6318 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6319 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6320 when using non-blocking I/O.
6321 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6323 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6324 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6326 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6327 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6330 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6331 configuration for the versions before that.
6332 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6334 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6335 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6336 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6337 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6340 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6341 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6342 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6345 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6349 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6350 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6351 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6353 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6354 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6356 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6357 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6358 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6359 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6360 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6361 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6362 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6365 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6366 using a local variable.
6367 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6369 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6370 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6371 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6373 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6376 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6377 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6379 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6380 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6381 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6383 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6385 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6386 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6387 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6388 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6391 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6395 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6396 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6397 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6398 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6399 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6401 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6402 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6403 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6405 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6406 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6407 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6409 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6410 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6411 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6412 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6414 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6415 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6416 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6418 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6420 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6421 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6423 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6425 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6426 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6427 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6428 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6430 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6431 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6432 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6433 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6435 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6436 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6438 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6439 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6440 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6443 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6444 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6445 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6447 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6449 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6450 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6451 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6452 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6453 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6454 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6455 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6458 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6459 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6460 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6461 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6463 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6464 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6465 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6466 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6467 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6468 the client will at least see that alert.
6471 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6475 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6476 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.

6479 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6480 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6481 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6482 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6485 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6486 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6487 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6489 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6490 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6491 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6492 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6493 may leak via logfiles.)
6495 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6496 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6497 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6498 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6502 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6503 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6506 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6507 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6508 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6509 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6510 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6513 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6514 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6516 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6517 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6518 followed by modular reduction.
6519 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6521 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6522 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6525 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6526 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6527 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6528 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6531 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6534 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6535 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6538 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6539 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6540 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6541 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6542 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6543 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6545 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6547 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6548 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6549 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6550 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6551 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6553 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6556 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6557 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6558 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6559 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6560 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6561 to allow the necessary settings.
6564 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6565 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6566 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6567 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6570 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6571 dh->length and always used
6573 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6575 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6576 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6577 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6578 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6579 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6584 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6586 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6592 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6593 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6594 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6595 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6597 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6598 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6599 always reject numbers >= n.
6602 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6603 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6604 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6605 variable) is not atomic.
6608 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6609 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6610 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6611 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6613 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6614 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6616 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6618 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6620 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6623 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6625 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6626 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6627 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6628 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6629 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6630 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6631 to traverse all of 'state'.
6633 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6634 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6635 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6637 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6638 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6640 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6641 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6642 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6643 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6644 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6645 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6646 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6647 further strengthens the PRNG.
6650 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6653 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6654 an error message in this case.
6657 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6660 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6661 positive and less than q.
6664 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6665 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6667 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6669 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6670 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6674 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6676 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6677 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6678 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6679 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6680 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6681 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6682 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6685 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6686 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6687 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6688 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6690 Both problems are now fixed.
6693 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6694 (previously it was 1024).
6697 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6698 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6701 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6704 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6705 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6706 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6709 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6710 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6711 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6712 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6713 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6714 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6715 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6716 environment variables.
6718 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6719 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6720 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6723 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6724 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6725 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6726 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6727 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6728 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6731 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6735 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6737 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6738 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6740 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6741 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6742 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6743 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6747 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6748 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6749 amount of data available.
6750 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6751 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6753 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6754 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6755 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6756 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6759 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6760 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6764 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6765 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6766 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6767 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6770 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6773 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6776 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6777 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6779 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6781 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6782 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6783 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6784 (but broken) behaviour.
6787 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6789 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6791 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6792 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6795 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6799 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6800 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6802 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6805 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6806 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6807 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6809 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6810 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6811 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6814 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6815 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6818 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6819 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6821 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6823 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6825 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6826 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6827 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6828 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6831 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6834 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6835 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6836 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6838 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6841 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6843 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6844 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6845 but the code is actually correct.
6848 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6849 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6850 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6851 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6852 and leaves the highest bit random.
6853 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6855 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6856 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6857 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6858 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6859 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6860 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6861 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6864 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6867 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6868 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6871 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6872 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6873 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6874 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6878 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6879 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6880 and break the signature.
6882 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6884 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6888 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6889 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6890 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6891 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6892 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6895 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6896 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6898 *) ./config script fixes.
6899 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6901 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6904 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6905 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6906 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6907 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6908 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6910 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6911 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6914 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6915 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6918 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6919 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6920 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6921 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6923 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6924 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6926 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6927 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6928 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6929 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6930 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6932 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6935 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6938 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6941 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6944 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6945 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6948 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6949 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6950 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6951 result of the server certificate verification.)
6954 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6955 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6956 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6960 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6961 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6962 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6963 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6964 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6965 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6966 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6967 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6970 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6971 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6972 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6973 happening the other way round.
6976 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6977 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6980 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6981 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6982 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6983 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6986 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6987 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6989 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6991 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6992 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6993 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6996 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6998 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7000 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7004 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7006 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7007 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7008 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7009 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7010 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7012 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7013 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7017 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7020 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7022 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7023 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7024 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7025 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7026 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7027 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7028 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7029 by the Finished messages.
7032 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7033 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7035 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7036 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7037 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7038 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7039 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7043 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7044 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7045 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7046 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7047 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7048 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7049 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7050 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7051 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7055 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7056 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7057 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7058 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7060 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7061 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7062 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7063 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7064 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7067 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7068 been tested well enough.
7071 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7072 it can return incorrect results.
7073 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7074 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7077 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7078 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7079 include zero length content when signing messages.
7082 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7083 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7086 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7089 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7093 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7094 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7095 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7096 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7097 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7098 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7101 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7102 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7104 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7105 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7107 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7108 random number < q in the DSA library.
7111 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7112 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7113 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7114 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7115 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7116 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7117 just makes things more complicated.)
7120 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7124 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7125 work better on such systems.
7126 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7128 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7129 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7130 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7133 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7134 if there was more than one signature.
7135 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7137 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7138 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7139 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7140 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7143 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7144 rather than always using the current time.
7147 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7148 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7149 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7150 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7151 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7152 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7154 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7155 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7157 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7159 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7160 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7161 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7162 the same hash value.
7164 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7165 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7166 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7167 with X509_STORE internally.
7169 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7170 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7172 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7173 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7174 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7175 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7176 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7177 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7178 entirely (maybe later...).
7180 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7182 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7183 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7184 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7185 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7186 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7187 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7188 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7189 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7191 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7192 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7194 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7195 to customise the verify behaviour.
7198 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7199 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7202 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7203 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7204 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7205 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7206 request is improperly encoded.
7209 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7210 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7213 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7214 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7216 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7217 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7221 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7222 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7223 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7226 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7227 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7228 BIO/fp routines also added.
7231 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7232 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7234 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7235 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7236 demos/state_machine.
7239 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7240 generation and verification.
7243 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7244 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7245 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7246 encode and decode it manually.
7249 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7251 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7253 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7254 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7255 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7256 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7258 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7259 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7260 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7261 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7262 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7265 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7268 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7269 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7270 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7272 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7273 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7274 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7275 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7276 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7277 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7278 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7279 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7281 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7282 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7284 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7286 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7287 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7288 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7292 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7293 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7294 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7295 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7299 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7301 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7304 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7305 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7306 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7307 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7308 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7309 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7310 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7311 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7312 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7313 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7314 short or long names are found.
7317 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7318 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7320 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7321 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7322 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7323 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7325 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7326 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7327 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7328 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7331 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7332 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7333 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7336 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7337 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7338 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7339 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7340 to allow the various flags to be set.
7343 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7344 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7345 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7346 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7347 dates to be checked.
7350 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7351 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7352 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7355 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7356 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7357 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7360 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7361 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7364 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7365 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7366 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7367 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7368 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7369 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7372 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7373 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7377 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7381 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7382 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7383 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7384 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7385 form signing output easier to verify.
7388 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7391 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7392 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7393 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7394 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7395 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7396 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7397 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7398 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7399 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7400 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7403 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7405 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7406 the syntax given in objects.README.
7407 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7409 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7412 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7413 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7414 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7415 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7416 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7417 consistent name changes.
7420 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7423 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7424 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7425 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7426 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7429 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7430 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7431 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7435 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7436 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7437 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7438 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7441 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7442 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7443 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7444 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7445 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7446 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7447 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7448 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7449 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7450 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7451 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7454 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7455 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7456 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7457 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7458 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7459 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7460 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7461 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7462 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7463 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7466 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7467 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7468 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7469 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7471 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7472 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7473 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7474 omit any duplicate addresses.
7477 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7478 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7481 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7482 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7483 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7484 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7485 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7488 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7490 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7491 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7492 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7493 Free => OPENSSL_free
7496 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7497 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7500 *) CygWin32 support.
7501 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7503 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7504 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7505 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7506 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7507 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7511 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7512 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7513 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7514 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7515 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7516 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7517 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7520 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7521 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7522 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7523 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7524 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7525 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7526 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7527 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7528 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7529 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7530 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7533 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7534 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7535 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7536 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7537 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7539 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7540 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7541 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7542 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7543 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7545 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7548 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7549 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7550 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7551 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7553 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7555 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7558 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7559 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7560 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7563 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7564 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7565 any installed hardware versions can.
7568 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7569 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7570 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7574 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7575 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7576 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7577 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7578 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7580 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7581 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7584 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7585 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7588 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7589 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7590 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7594 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7597 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7598 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7599 but no ssl client purpose.
7600 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7602 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7603 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7604 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7605 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7606 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7607 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7608 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7609 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7610 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7611 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7612 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7615 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7616 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7617 be obtained from the error queue.
7620 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7621 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7622 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7623 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7626 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7629 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7630 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7631 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7632 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7633 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7636 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7637 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7638 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7639 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7640 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7643 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7644 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7645 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7647 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7649 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7650 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7651 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7652 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7653 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7654 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7655 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7656 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7657 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7658 or "the configuration storage API"...
7660 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7662 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7663 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7665 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7667 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7669 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7670 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7671 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7672 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7673 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7674 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7675 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7677 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7678 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7681 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7682 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7683 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7684 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7687 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7688 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7689 them in a portable way.
7690 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7692 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7694 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7696 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7697 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7699 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7700 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7701 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7704 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7705 was larger than the MD block size.
7706 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7708 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7709 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7710 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7711 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7715 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7716 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7717 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7719 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7721 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7723 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7724 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7725 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7726 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7727 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7728 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7730 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7731 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7733 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7734 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7737 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7740 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7741 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7743 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7744 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7745 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7746 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7749 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7750 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7751 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7752 does not suppress any output.
7755 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7756 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7757 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7758 with all the associated security issues.
7760 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7761 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7762 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7763 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7764 use the value in the default purpose.
7767 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7768 and fix a memory leak.
7771 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7772 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7773 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7774 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7777 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7778 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7779 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7780 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7783 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7784 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7785 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7788 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7789 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7792 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7793 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7797 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7798 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7801 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7802 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7803 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7806 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7807 number generation fails.
7810 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7813 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7814 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7816 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7819 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7820 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7822 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7823 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7825 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7827 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7828 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7831 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7832 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7834 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7835 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7838 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7839 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7840 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7841 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7842 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7843 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7845 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7846 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7847 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7851 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7852 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7853 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7854 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7855 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7856 counter, some don't.)
7857 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7858 counters or duplicate objects.
7861 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7862 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7865 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7866 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7867 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7869 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7870 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7871 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7875 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7876 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7879 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7880 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7881 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7885 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7886 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7887 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7890 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7891 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7892 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7893 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7894 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7895 should work without changes.
7898 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7899 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7900 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7901 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7902 must be defined. E.g.,
7903 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7904 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7905 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7906 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7908 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7912 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7913 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7914 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7917 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7918 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7919 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7920 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7923 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7924 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7925 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7926 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7927 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7928 is prompted for as usual.
7931 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7932 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7933 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7934 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7936 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7937 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7938 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7939 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7942 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7945 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7949 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7952 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7955 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7959 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7962 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7965 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7966 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7969 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7970 options to produce them.
7973 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7974 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7977 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7981 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7982 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7983 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7984 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7985 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7986 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7987 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7990 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7993 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7994 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7995 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7998 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7999 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8001 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8002 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8005 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8006 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8007 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8011 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8012 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8014 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8015 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8016 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8017 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8018 generation becomes much faster.
8020 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8021 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8022 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8023 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8024 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8025 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8026 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8027 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8028 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8029 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8032 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8033 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8034 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8035 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8036 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8037 trial division stage.
8040 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8044 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8047 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8050 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8051 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8052 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8056 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8057 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8058 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8061 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8062 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8063 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8064 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8066 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8067 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8070 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8073 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8074 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8075 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8076 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8079 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8080 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8081 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8084 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8085 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8086 (instead of parameters) in future.
8089 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8090 when a new cipher list is set.
8093 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8094 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8097 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8098 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8099 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8101 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8102 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8103 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8104 an error is flagged.
8106 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8107 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8108 the readability was also increased :-)
8109 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8111 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8112 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8113 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8114 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8118 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8119 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8122 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8123 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8124 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8125 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8128 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8129 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8130 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8131 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8132 because they handle more complex structures.)
8135 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8136 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8137 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8138 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8140 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8141 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8142 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8143 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8144 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8145 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8146 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8149 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8150 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8151 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8152 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8153 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8156 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8159 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8160 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8161 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8162 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8163 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8166 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8170 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8171 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8172 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8173 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8176 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8179 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8180 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8181 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8182 international characters are used.
8184 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8185 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8186 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8190 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8191 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8192 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8195 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8196 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8197 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8198 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8199 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8200 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8202 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8203 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8204 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8205 be handled by the string table functions.
8207 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8208 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8209 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8210 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8211 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8215 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8216 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8217 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8218 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8219 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8221 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8222 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8223 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8224 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8227 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8228 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8229 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8230 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8231 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8235 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8236 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8237 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8238 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8239 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8240 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8241 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8242 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8244 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8245 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8246 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8249 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8250 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8251 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8252 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8253 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8254 support to pkcs8 application.
8257 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8258 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8259 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8260 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8261 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8262 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8265 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8266 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8267 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8268 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8269 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8273 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8274 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8275 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8276 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8280 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8281 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8282 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8283 and any application specific purposes.
8285 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8286 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8287 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8288 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8289 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8290 if the certificate is self signed.
8293 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8294 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8297 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8298 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8299 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8300 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8303 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8304 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8305 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8306 Update documentation.
8309 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8310 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8311 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8312 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8313 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8316 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8318 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8320 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8321 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8322 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8323 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8324 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8325 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8326 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8327 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8328 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8329 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8331 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8333 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8334 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8335 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8336 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8337 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8339 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8340 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8341 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8342 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8343 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8344 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8345 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8346 request additional information:
8347 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8348 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8350 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8351 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8352 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8355 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8356 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8359 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8362 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8363 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8365 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8366 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8367 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8371 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8372 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8373 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8375 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8376 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8377 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8378 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8379 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8380 included in OpenSSL.
8383 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8384 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8385 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8386 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8387 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8388 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8391 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8395 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8396 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8397 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8398 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8399 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8403 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8407 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8408 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8409 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8410 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8411 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8412 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8413 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8414 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8415 be maintained manually.
8417 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8418 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8419 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8420 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8421 work because people forget to call this function]
8422 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8423 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8424 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8427 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8428 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8429 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8430 should be discouraged from doing it.
8433 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8434 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8435 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8436 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8437 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8438 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8441 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8442 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8443 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8445 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8446 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8447 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8449 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8450 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8451 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8452 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8453 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8454 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8456 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8457 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8458 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8460 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8461 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8464 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8465 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8466 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8467 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8470 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8473 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8474 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8475 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8476 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8477 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8478 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8479 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8480 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8481 keys so we should be OK.
8483 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8484 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8485 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8486 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8487 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8488 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8489 stay in the name of compatibility.
8491 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8492 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8493 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8495 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8496 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8497 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8498 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8499 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8500 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8504 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8505 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8506 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8507 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8508 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8509 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8510 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8511 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8512 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8513 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8514 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8515 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8516 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8519 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8522 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8523 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8524 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8525 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8526 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8527 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8528 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8529 openssl verify ss.pem
8530 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8531 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8535 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8536 (and add it to external session representation).
8537 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8538 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8539 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8540 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8541 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8542 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8544 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8546 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8547 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8548 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8549 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8551 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8552 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8553 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8556 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8557 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8558 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8562 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8563 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8564 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8566 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8567 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8568 certificate auxiliary information.
8571 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8575 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8576 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8577 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8578 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8579 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8580 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8581 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8584 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8585 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8588 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8589 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8590 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8591 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8594 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8597 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8598 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8601 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8602 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8603 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8604 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8605 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8606 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8607 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8608 using the new 'x509' options.
8610 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8611 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8612 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8613 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8617 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8618 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8619 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8620 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8621 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8624 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8625 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8626 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8627 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8628 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8629 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8630 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8631 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8632 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8633 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8636 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8637 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8638 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8639 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8640 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8641 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8642 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8645 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8646 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8647 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8648 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8649 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8650 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8651 openssl.cnf for more info.
8654 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8655 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8656 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8657 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8658 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8659 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8660 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8661 md should be large enough anyway.
8664 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8665 for handling the random seed file.
8667 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8669 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8672 x509 (when signing).
8673 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8674 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8675 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8677 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8678 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8679 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8680 that support '-rand'.
8683 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8684 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8687 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8688 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8691 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8692 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8693 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8694 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8698 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8699 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8700 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8701 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8704 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8705 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8706 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8707 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8708 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8709 print out all the purposes.
8712 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8716 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8717 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8718 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8719 single function call.
8722 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8723 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8726 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8727 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8728 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8731 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8732 when producing the local key id.
8733 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8735 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8736 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8737 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8741 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8742 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8743 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8744 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8747 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8748 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8749 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8750 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8752 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8753 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8754 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8755 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8757 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8758 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8759 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8760 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8761 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8762 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8763 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8764 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8765 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8766 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8767 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8768 trivial: move one line.
8769 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8771 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8772 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8773 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8774 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8775 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8776 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8777 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8778 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8779 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8780 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8781 with an event loop for example.
8784 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8785 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8786 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8787 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8788 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8789 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8790 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8791 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8792 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8795 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8796 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8797 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8798 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8799 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8800 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8803 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8804 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8805 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8806 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8808 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8809 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8810 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8811 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8815 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8816 (still largely untested)
8819 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8820 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8823 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8824 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8827 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8828 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8829 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8832 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8833 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8834 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8835 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8836 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8839 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8842 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8843 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8844 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8845 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8846 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8850 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8851 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8854 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8857 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8858 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8859 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8860 are otherwise ignored at present.
8863 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8864 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8865 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8866 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8867 copied until the next read.
8870 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8871 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8872 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8875 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8876 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8877 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8878 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8879 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8880 associated functions.
8883 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8884 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8885 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8886 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8887 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8888 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8889 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8890 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8891 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8895 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8896 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8897 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8898 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8901 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8902 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8903 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8904 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8905 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8909 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8910 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8914 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8915 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8916 extensions to be obtained and added.
8919 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8920 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8923 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8925 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8926 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8928 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8929 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8931 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8935 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8936 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8937 DH parameters contain its length).
8939 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8940 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8941 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8942 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8943 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8944 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8945 utter importance to use
8946 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8948 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8949 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8950 attacks may become possible!
8953 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8956 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8957 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8960 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8961 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8962 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8966 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8967 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8968 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8969 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8970 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8971 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8972 private key operations.
8975 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8978 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8979 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8981 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8982 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8983 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8984 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8985 the password callback is called.
8986 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8988 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8990 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8991 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8992 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8993 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8994 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8995 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8998 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8999 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9000 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9001 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9002 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9003 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9006 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9009 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9010 delete an unused file.
9013 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9014 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9015 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9016 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9019 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9020 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9021 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9025 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9026 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9027 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9029 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9030 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9031 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9032 comparison" warnings.
9033 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9036 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9037 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9038 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9041 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9042 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9044 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9045 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9047 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9048 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9049 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9051 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9052 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9053 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9054 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9055 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9057 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9059 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9060 The interface is as follows:
9061 Applications can use
9062 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9063 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9064 "off" is now the default.
9065 The library internally uses
9066 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9067 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9068 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9070 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9071 even the default) are now avoided.
9073 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9074 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9075 than just having a counter.
9077 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9079 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9083 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9084 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9085 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9086 Initial "mode" flags are:
9088 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9089 a single record has been written.
9090 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9091 retries use the same buffer location.
9092 (But all of the contents must be
9096 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9099 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9100 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9102 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9103 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9104 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9107 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9108 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9110 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9112 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9113 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9114 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9115 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9117 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9118 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9120 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9121 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9122 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9123 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9124 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9125 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9128 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9129 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9130 necessary function names.
9133 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9134 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9135 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9136 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9139 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9140 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9141 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9144 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9145 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9146 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9147 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9149 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9153 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9154 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9155 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9158 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9159 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9163 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9164 for the encoded length.
9165 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9167 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9170 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9171 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9172 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9173 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9176 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9177 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9178 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9180 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9181 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9182 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9186 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9187 to use the new extension code.
9190 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9191 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9192 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9196 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9197 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9198 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9202 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9205 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9206 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9207 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9210 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9211 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9212 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9213 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9216 *) DES library cleanups.
9219 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9220 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9221 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9222 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9223 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9227 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9228 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9231 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9232 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9233 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9234 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9235 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9236 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9237 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9238 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9239 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9242 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9243 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9244 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9245 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9246 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9247 value doesn't matter.
9250 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9254 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9255 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9256 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9257 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9259 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9262 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9263 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9264 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9266 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9267 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9269 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9272 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9275 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9278 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9282 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9284 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9286 *) Updated some demos.
9287 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9289 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9292 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9295 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9298 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9299 instead of using a fixed path.
9302 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9305 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9309 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9311 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9312 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9313 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9315 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9316 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9317 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9318 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9319 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9320 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9321 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9322 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9323 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9324 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9327 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9328 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9331 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9332 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9333 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9334 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9335 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9337 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9340 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9341 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9342 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9345 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9348 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9349 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9350 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9351 key elements as negative integers.
9354 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9355 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9358 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9360 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9361 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9362 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9365 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9366 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9367 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9368 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9369 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9372 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9375 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9376 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9377 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9378 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9380 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9381 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9382 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9384 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9385 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9386 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9387 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9388 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9389 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9390 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9391 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9392 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9394 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9395 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9396 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9397 does not influence s as it used to.
9399 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9400 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9401 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9402 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9403 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9404 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9407 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9408 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9409 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9413 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9414 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9415 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9419 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9420 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9421 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9425 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9426 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9429 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9430 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9435 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9436 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9438 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9439 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9441 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9444 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9447 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9448 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9450 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9451 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9452 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9456 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9457 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9458 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9459 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9460 now it really counts the depth.
9463 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9464 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9465 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9466 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9467 didn't match the private key).
9469 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9470 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9471 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9474 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9477 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9481 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9482 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9483 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9486 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9489 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9490 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9491 such as /usr/local/bin.
9494 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9495 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9497 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9500 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9501 extension adding in x509 utility.
9504 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9507 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9511 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9514 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9515 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9516 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9517 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9518 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9519 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9520 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9521 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9522 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9523 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9526 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9529 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9530 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9533 *) Fix some race conditions.
9536 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9537 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9540 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9543 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9544 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9545 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9546 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9548 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9549 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9551 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9552 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9553 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9555 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9556 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9558 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9561 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9562 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9564 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9567 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9568 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9570 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9571 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9574 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9575 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9578 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9579 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9582 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9583 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9586 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9587 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9590 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9591 support typesafe stack.
9594 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9595 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9597 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9598 old X509V3 handling code.
9601 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9604 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9607 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9610 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9611 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9613 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9614 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9615 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9616 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9617 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9620 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9621 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9622 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9623 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9624 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9626 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9627 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9628 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9629 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9631 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9632 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9633 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9634 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9636 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9637 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9638 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9639 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9640 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9641 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9644 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9645 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9648 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9649 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9652 *) Tweaks to Configure
9653 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9655 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9659 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9662 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9663 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9666 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9667 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9668 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9671 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9674 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9675 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9678 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9679 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9680 to library startup routines.
9683 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9684 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9685 codes along the way.
9688 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9689 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9690 objects to objects.h
9693 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9694 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9697 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9698 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9700 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9701 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9702 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9704 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9705 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9706 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9708 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9709 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9710 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9713 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9715 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9716 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9719 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9720 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9721 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9722 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9723 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9725 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9726 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9727 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9729 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9731 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9733 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9735 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9736 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9738 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9739 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9740 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9741 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9743 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9746 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9747 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9748 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9749 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9752 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9753 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9754 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9757 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9758 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9759 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9760 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9761 installed as `perl').
9762 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9764 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9765 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9767 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9768 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9769 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9770 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9771 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9774 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9777 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9778 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9779 is horrible: I feel ill....
9782 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9783 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9784 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9785 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9788 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9789 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9791 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9792 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9793 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9794 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9796 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9797 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9798 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9799 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9800 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9801 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9803 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9805 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9806 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9808 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9809 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9811 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9814 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9815 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9819 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9820 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9821 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9822 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9823 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9824 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9825 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9826 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9827 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9828 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9829 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9831 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9834 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9835 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9836 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9837 for linking it into DSOs.
9838 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9840 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9844 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9845 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9846 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9847 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9848 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9849 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9851 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9852 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9853 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9854 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9855 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9856 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9857 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9859 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9860 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9861 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9865 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9866 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9867 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9868 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9871 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9872 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9873 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9874 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9875 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9879 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9880 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9881 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9882 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9883 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9885 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9886 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9887 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9889 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9890 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9892 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9893 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9894 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9895 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9896 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9899 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9900 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9901 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9902 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9903 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9904 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9905 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9908 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9910 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9911 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9914 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9915 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9917 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9918 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9921 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9922 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9923 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9924 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9925 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9927 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9928 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9929 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9930 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9931 no way to reconfigure them.
9932 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9933 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9934 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9935 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9936 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9937 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9939 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9940 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9941 recognized by the users.
9942 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9944 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9945 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9946 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9947 already masked variable.
9948 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9950 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9951 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9953 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9954 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9955 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9956 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9958 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9959 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9960 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9962 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9963 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9964 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9965 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9966 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9967 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9968 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9969 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9971 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9973 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9974 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9975 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9977 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9978 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9982 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9983 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9985 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9986 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9987 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9988 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9991 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9994 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9995 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9997 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10000 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10001 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10004 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10005 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10008 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10009 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10010 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10011 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10012 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10013 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10014 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10017 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10018 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10020 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10021 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10022 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10023 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10024 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10026 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10027 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10028 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10031 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10032 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10036 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10037 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10038 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10040 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10041 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10042 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10043 build instructions.
10046 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10047 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10048 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10049 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10052 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10053 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10054 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10055 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10058 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10059 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10060 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10061 so it wasn't spotted.
10062 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10064 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10065 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10066 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10067 vectors if you have them.
10070 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10071 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10074 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10075 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10076 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10077 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10079 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10080 it will update them.
10083 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10084 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10085 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10086 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10087 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10088 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10089 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10090 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10092 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10093 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10094 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10095 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10096 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10097 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10098 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10099 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10100 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10101 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10103 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10104 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10105 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10106 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10107 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10110 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10114 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10115 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10117 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10118 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10120 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10121 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10124 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10125 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10127 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10128 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10130 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10133 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10137 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10138 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10139 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10140 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10142 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10145 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10148 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10151 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10152 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10155 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10156 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10160 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10161 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10164 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10165 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10166 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10169 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10170 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10171 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10172 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10173 properly to be processed.
10176 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10177 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10178 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10181 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10182 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10184 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10185 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10186 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10187 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10188 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10189 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10190 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10191 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10192 or delete all the .err files.
10195 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10196 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10197 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10198 to regenerate it if needed.
10199 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10200 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10202 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10203 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10205 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10206 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10207 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10208 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10209 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10212 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10213 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10215 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10216 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10218 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10219 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10220 error, but didn't set one).
10221 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10223 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10226 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10227 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10230 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10231 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10233 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10234 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10235 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10236 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10237 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10238 OID is not part of the table.
10241 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10242 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10245 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10248 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10249 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10253 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10254 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10256 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10258 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10260 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10261 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10263 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10264 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10266 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10267 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10269 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10270 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10273 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10274 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10277 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10278 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10280 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10281 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10283 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10284 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10286 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10287 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10289 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10290 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10291 unused in the certificate verification process.
10292 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10294 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10295 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10298 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10299 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10300 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10302 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10303 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10304 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10305 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10306 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10308 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10309 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10312 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10315 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10318 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10319 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10321 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10324 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10327 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10330 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10331 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10332 other error libraries.
10335 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10338 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10339 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10343 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10344 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10345 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10346 the new set of documenation files.
10347 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10349 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10350 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10351 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10352 number of arguments.
10353 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10355 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10358 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10359 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10360 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10362 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10365 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10369 unixware-2.0-pentium
10373 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10374 before they are needed.
10377 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10381 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10383 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10384 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10385 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10387 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10390 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10391 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10392 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10394 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10395 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10396 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10398 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10399 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10400 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10402 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10403 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10405 *) Updated the README file.
10406 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10408 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10409 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10410 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10412 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10413 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10414 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10416 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10417 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10418 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10419 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10420 o removed obsolete TODO file
10421 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10422 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10424 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10425 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10426 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
10427 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
10428 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
10429 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10430 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10432 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10435 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10436 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10437 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10439 [The OpenSSL Project]
10442 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10444 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10447 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10450 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10451 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10454 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10455 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10459 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10461 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10463 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10466 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10469 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10472 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10475 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10478 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10481 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10484 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10487 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10490 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10493 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10496 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10499 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10502 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10505 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10508 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10511 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10514 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10515 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10516 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10519 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10520 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10523 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10526 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10529 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10530 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10533 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10536 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10539 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10540 bytes sent in the client random.
10541 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
