5 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
10 *) Add EC_GFp_nistp224_method(), a 64-bit optimized implementation for
11 elliptic curve NIST-P224 with constant-time single point multiplication on
12 typical inputs. EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use this
13 (while EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently won't and prefers the more
14 flexible implementations).
16 The implementation requires support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t,
17 and so is disabled by default. To include this in your build of OpenSSL,
18 use -DEC_NISTP224_64_GCC_128 on the Configure (or config) command line,
19 and run "make depend" (or "make update").
20 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
22 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
23 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
24 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
26 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
27 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
28 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
31 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
32 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
34 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
35 a few changes are required:
37 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
39 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
40 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
41 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
44 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [xx XXX xxxx]
46 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
47 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
48 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
50 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
54 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
56 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
58 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
60 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
62 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
63 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
64 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
67 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
70 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
71 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
72 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
74 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
75 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
76 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
79 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
80 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
83 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
84 some responders need this.
87 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
89 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
91 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
92 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
93 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
96 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
99 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
100 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
101 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
102 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
103 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
104 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
105 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
106 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
109 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
110 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
111 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
112 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
114 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
115 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
117 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
121 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
122 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
123 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
124 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
125 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
126 attempting to work them out.
129 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
130 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
131 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
132 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
135 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
136 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
137 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
138 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
139 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
142 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
143 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
150 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
152 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
156 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
157 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
159 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
160 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
162 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
163 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
164 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
165 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
166 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
169 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
170 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
171 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
174 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
175 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
178 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
179 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
181 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
182 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
185 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
188 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
189 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
190 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
194 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
195 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
196 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
197 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
198 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
199 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
202 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
203 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
205 This work was sponsored by Google.
208 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
209 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
210 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
211 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
212 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
213 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
214 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
217 This work was sponsored by Google.
220 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
222 This work was sponsored by Google.
225 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
226 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
227 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
228 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
230 This work was sponsored by Google.
233 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
234 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
235 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
236 CRL functionality in future.
238 This work was sponsored by Google.
241 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
243 This work was sponsored by Google.
246 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
247 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
249 This work was sponsored by Google.
252 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
253 and URI types are currently supported.
255 This work was sponsored by Google.
258 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
259 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
260 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
261 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
262 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
263 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
264 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
265 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
267 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
268 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
269 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
271 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
272 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
273 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
274 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
276 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
277 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
278 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
279 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
280 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
281 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
282 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
283 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
285 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
287 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
288 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
289 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
291 This work was sponsored by Google.
294 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
297 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
298 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
299 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
302 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
303 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
306 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
307 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
310 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
311 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
312 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
313 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
314 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
315 content types and variants.
318 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
321 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
322 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
323 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
324 files from the associated perl scripts.
327 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
328 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
329 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
331 *) s390x assembler pack.
334 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
338 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
339 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
340 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
341 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
342 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
343 to use. For example, specify an option
345 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
347 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
348 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
349 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
350 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
351 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
352 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
354 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
355 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
356 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
357 return non-zero for success.
359 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
362 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
363 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
367 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
370 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
371 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
372 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
373 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
374 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
375 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
376 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
377 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
378 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
380 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
381 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
382 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
383 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
384 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
385 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
387 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
388 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
389 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
390 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
391 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
392 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
396 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
399 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
401 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
402 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
403 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
406 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
407 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
410 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
411 protection in servers so again support should be possible
412 with no application modification.
414 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
415 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
417 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
418 or server extensions to be examined.
420 This work was sponsored by Google.
423 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
424 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
425 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
427 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
428 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
430 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
432 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
433 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
434 to output in BER and PEM format.
437 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
438 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
439 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
440 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
441 -macopt options to dgst utility.
444 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
445 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
446 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
450 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
451 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
452 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
453 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
454 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
455 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
456 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
457 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
460 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
461 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
462 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
463 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
465 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
466 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
467 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
471 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
472 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
473 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
474 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
475 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
476 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
477 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
478 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
479 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
481 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
482 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
483 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
484 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
485 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
486 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
487 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
488 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
489 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
490 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
491 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
494 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
495 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
496 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
498 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
499 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
503 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
504 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
505 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
508 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
509 it yet and it is largely untested.
512 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
515 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
516 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
517 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
520 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
523 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
524 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
525 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
526 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
529 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
530 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
531 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
532 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
533 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
536 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
537 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
540 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
541 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
542 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
543 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
546 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
547 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
548 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
549 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
552 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
553 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
556 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
557 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
558 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
559 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
562 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
563 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
564 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
567 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
571 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
572 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
575 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
576 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
577 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
581 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
582 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
583 to free up any added signature OIDs.
586 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
587 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
588 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
589 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
592 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
593 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
594 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
595 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
596 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
597 the array representation useful in a more general context.
600 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
601 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
602 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
603 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
604 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
606 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
607 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
608 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
609 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
610 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
613 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
614 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
615 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
616 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
618 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
619 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
620 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
621 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
622 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
628 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
629 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
633 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
634 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
637 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
638 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
641 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
642 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
643 functional reference processing.
646 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
647 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
651 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
652 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
653 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
656 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
657 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
658 application to support multiple signers.
661 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
665 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
666 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
667 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
668 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
669 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
672 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
676 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
677 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
678 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
679 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
683 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
684 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
685 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
686 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
687 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
688 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
689 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
690 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
693 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
694 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
695 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
696 between digests and public key types.
699 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
700 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
701 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
702 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
705 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
706 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
710 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
713 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
717 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
718 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
719 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
720 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
725 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
727 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
729 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
731 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
732 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
733 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
734 functionality for RSA.
737 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
738 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
739 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
742 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
743 key API, doesn't do much yet.
746 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
747 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
748 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
751 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
752 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
755 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
756 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
759 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
760 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
764 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
765 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
766 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
770 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
771 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
772 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
773 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
774 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
775 of public and private key structures.
778 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
779 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
782 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
783 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
784 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
787 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
791 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
792 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
794 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
796 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
798 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
799 and response verification functionality.
800 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
802 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
803 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
804 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
805 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
806 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
807 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
808 server_name extension.
810 New functions (subject to change):
813 SSL_get_servername_type()
816 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
818 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
819 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
820 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
821 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
822 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
824 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
826 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
827 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
828 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
829 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
830 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
831 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
834 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
836 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
839 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
840 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
841 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
842 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
843 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
846 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
847 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
851 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
852 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
853 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
854 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
857 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
858 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
859 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
860 using the maximum available value.
863 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
864 in addition to the text details.
867 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
868 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
869 handle several customised structures at all.
872 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
873 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
874 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
877 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
880 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
881 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
882 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
885 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
886 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
887 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
890 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
891 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
895 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
898 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
901 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [xx XXX xxxx]
903 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
904 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
905 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
907 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
910 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
911 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
912 some broken encodings work correctly.
915 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
916 is also one of the inputs.
917 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
919 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
920 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
921 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
925 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
927 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
930 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
931 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
932 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
934 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
935 common in certificates and some applications which only call
936 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
940 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
941 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
942 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
943 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
945 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
947 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
948 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
949 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
950 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
951 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
952 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
953 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
954 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
956 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
957 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
958 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
960 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
962 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
963 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
965 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
966 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
969 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
970 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
971 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
974 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
975 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
976 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
977 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
978 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
979 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
982 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
983 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
984 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
987 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
988 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
989 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
990 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
991 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
992 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
996 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
997 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1000 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1001 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1002 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1005 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1008 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1009 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1010 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1011 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1012 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1013 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1014 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1015 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1016 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1019 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1020 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1021 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1024 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1025 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1028 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1029 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1030 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1031 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1032 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1033 know what you are doing.
1034 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1036 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1037 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1038 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1039 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1040 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1041 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1045 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1046 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1047 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1049 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1051 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1052 warnings in other configurations.
1055 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1056 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1057 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1059 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1061 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1062 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1063 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1065 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1066 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1067 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1068 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1071 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1075 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1076 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1078 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1080 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1081 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1082 other than a simple chain.
1083 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1085 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1086 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1087 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1088 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1091 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1092 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1093 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1094 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1095 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1096 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1097 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1098 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1099 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1101 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1102 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1103 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1104 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1105 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1106 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1108 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1110 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1111 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1114 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1115 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1118 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1120 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1122 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1123 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1124 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1125 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1126 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1130 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1132 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1133 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1134 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1135 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1137 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1138 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1139 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1140 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1142 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1143 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1144 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1147 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1148 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1152 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1153 to handle some structures.
1156 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1158 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1160 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1163 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1166 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1169 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1170 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1174 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1176 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1178 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1180 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1183 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1184 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1185 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1186 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1188 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1189 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1191 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1192 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1195 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1196 s_client and s_server.
1199 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1200 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1202 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1203 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1205 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1206 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1207 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1208 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1209 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1212 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1214 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1215 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1218 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1219 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1222 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1223 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1224 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1225 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1227 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1228 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1230 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1232 *) Various precautionary measures:
1234 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1236 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1237 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1238 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1240 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1241 outside the expected range.
1243 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1246 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1248 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1249 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1250 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1252 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1255 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1258 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1260 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1263 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1264 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1265 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1267 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1270 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1271 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1272 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1276 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1278 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1279 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1280 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1281 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1283 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1284 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1287 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1289 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1290 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1291 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1293 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1295 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1296 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1297 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1298 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1301 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1302 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1303 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1304 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1305 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1306 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1307 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1309 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1311 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1312 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1313 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1314 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1315 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1317 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1318 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1320 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1321 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1322 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1323 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1324 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1326 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1328 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1329 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1330 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1331 sets may exist with different names.
1334 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1335 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1336 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1337 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1338 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1339 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1340 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1341 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1342 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1344 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1346 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1347 implemention in the following ways:
1349 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1352 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1353 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1354 ignored for embedded content.
1356 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1357 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1360 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1361 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1362 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1363 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1365 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1366 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1369 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1370 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1373 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1374 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1375 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1376 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1377 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1378 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1382 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1383 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.

1405 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1406 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1407 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1408 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1409 to s_client and s_server.
1412 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1414 *) Fix various bugs:
1415 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1416 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1417 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1418 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1419 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1421 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1423 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1424 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1425 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1426 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1427 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1428 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1429 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1430 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1433 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1434 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1435 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1438 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1439 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1440 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1443 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1444 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1447 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1448 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1449 with no application modification.
1451 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1452 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1454 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1455 or server extensions to be examined.
1457 This work was sponsored by Google.
1460 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1461 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1462 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1463 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1464 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1465 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1466 server_name extension.
1468 New functions (subject to change):
1470 SSL_get_servername()
1471 SSL_get_servername_type()
1474 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1476 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1477 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1478 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1479 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1480 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1482 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1484 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1485 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1486 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1487 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1488 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1489 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1492 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1494 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1497 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1500 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1501 (which previously caused an internal error).
1504 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1507 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1508 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1510 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1511 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1512 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1514 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1515 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1516 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1517 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1519 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1520 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1521 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1522 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1524 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1525 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1526 information. For detailed background information, see
1527 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1528 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1529 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1530 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1531 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1532 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1533 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1534 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1535 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1536 remove a conditional branch.
1538 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1539 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1540 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1541 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1542 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1543 remains as a deprecated alias.
1545 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1546 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1547 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1548 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1550 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1551 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1552 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1553 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1554 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1555 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1556 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1557 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1559 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1561 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1562 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1563 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1564 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1565 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1566 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1567 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1568 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1569 in a different context.
1572 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1573 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1574 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1577 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1578 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1579 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1581 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1583 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1584 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1585 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1586 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1587 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1590 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1591 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1592 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1593 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1594 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1595 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1598 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1599 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1600 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1601 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1602 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1605 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1606 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1608 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1609 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1610 Improve header file function name parsing.
1613 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1614 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1617 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1619 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1620 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1621 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1623 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1624 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1626 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1627 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1629 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1630 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1631 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1633 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1634 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1635 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1636 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1637 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1638 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1639 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1640 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1641 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1643 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1644 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1645 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1646 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1647 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1649 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1650 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1651 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1652 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1653 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1654 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1655 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1656 multiple values to extend the available space.
1660 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1662 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1663 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1665 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1668 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1669 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1670 undesirable limitations.
1671 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1673 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1674 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1675 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1676 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1677 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1678 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1679 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1682 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1684 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1685 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1686 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1688 The latter two were purportedly from
1689 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1692 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1693 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1694 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1697 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1698 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1701 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1702 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1703 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1704 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1706 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1707 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1708 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1711 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1712 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1713 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1714 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1715 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1716 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1719 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1721 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1722 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1725 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1726 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1728 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1729 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1730 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1731 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1734 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1735 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1738 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1739 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1740 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1741 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1742 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1743 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1744 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1748 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1749 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1750 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1751 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1754 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1755 under VC++ build system.
1758 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1759 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1762 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1764 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1765 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1766 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1767 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1768 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1770 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1771 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1772 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1774 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1777 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1778 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1781 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1782 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1784 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1787 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1788 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1790 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1791 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.

1804 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1807 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1808 key into the same file any more.
1811 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1814 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1815 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1817 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1818 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1821 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1822 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1823 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1824 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1825 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1826 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1828 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1829 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1830 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1833 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1834 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1835 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1836 - add new function for parameter creation
1837 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1838 BN_BLINDING parameters
1839 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1840 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1841 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1845 *) Add support for DTLS.
1846 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1848 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1849 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1852 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1853 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1856 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1857 the apps/openssl applications.
1860 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1861 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1862 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1865 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1866 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1868 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1869 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1871 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1872 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1873 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1874 avoid this algorithm.)
1878 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1879 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1880 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1883 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1884 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1887 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1888 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1889 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1892 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1894 The blank line is mandatory.
1898 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1899 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1903 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1904 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1906 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1907 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1908 to support policy checking and print out.
1911 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1912 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1913 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1914 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1916 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1919 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1920 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1922 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1923 implementation contributed by IBM.
1924 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1926 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1927 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1928 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1929 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1931 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1932 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1934 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1935 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1936 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1937 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1938 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1939 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1942 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1943 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1944 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1945 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1946 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1947 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1948 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1951 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1954 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1955 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1956 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1957 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1958 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1959 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1960 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1961 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1964 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1965 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1966 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1967 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1970 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1973 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1976 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1977 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1978 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1979 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1980 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1981 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1982 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1985 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1986 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1989 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1990 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1991 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1994 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1995 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1996 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2000 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2001 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2004 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2005 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2006 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2007 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2010 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2011 initialised value as BN_new().
2012 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2014 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2017 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2018 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2019 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2020 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2021 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2022 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2023 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2024 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2025 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2026 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2027 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2028 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2029 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2030 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2031 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2033 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2034 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2035 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2036 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2039 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2040 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2041 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2042 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2043 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2044 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2045 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2046 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2047 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2050 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2051 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2052 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2053 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2054 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2055 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2056 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2059 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2060 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2061 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2062 these have been updated also.
2065 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2066 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2067 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2068 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2069 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2073 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2074 structure of type "other".
2077 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2078 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2079 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2080 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2081 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2082 situation in the script.
2083 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2085 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2086 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2087 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2088 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2089 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2090 used as premaster secret.
2091 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2093 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2094 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2095 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2097 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2098 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2100 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2101 control of the error stack.
2104 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2107 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2108 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2109 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2110 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2113 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2114 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2115 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2118 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2119 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2120 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2124 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2125 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2126 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2127 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2130 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2131 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2132 the following flags are defined:
2134 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2135 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2136 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2139 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2140 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2141 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2142 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2146 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2147 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2148 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2149 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2150 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2153 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2154 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2155 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2158 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2159 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2160 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2161 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2162 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2163 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2166 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2170 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2173 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2176 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2179 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2180 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2181 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2182 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2183 default implementation more easily.
2186 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2190 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2191 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2194 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2195 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2196 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2197 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2199 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2200 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2201 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2202 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2205 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2206 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2210 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2211 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2212 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2213 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2214 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2215 scalar * generator).
2216 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2218 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2219 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2220 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2224 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2225 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2226 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2227 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2228 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2229 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2230 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2231 linker additions, eg;
2232 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2235 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2236 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2237 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2240 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2241 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2242 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2246 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2247 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2248 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2249 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2252 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2253 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2254 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2255 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2256 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2257 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2258 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2259 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2260 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2261 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2263 Example for using the new callback interface:
2265 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2269 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2271 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2272 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2273 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2274 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2275 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2276 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2281 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2282 available to TLS with the number defined in
2283 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2286 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2287 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2289 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2290 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2291 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2292 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2294 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2295 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2297 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2298 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2302 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2303 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2306 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2307 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2308 and a macro that behave like
2309 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2311 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2314 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2315 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2316 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2318 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2320 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2323 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2324 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2325 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2326 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2328 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2329 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2330 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2331 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2332 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2333 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2334 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2335 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2337 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2338 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2341 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2342 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2344 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2345 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2346 files while avoiding the low level API.
2348 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2349 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2350 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2351 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2353 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2354 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2355 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2356 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2357 instead of the low level API.
2360 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2361 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2362 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2363 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2364 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2367 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2368 down to the template encoder.
2371 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2372 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2375 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2376 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2377 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2378 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2380 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2381 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2383 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2384 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2386 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2387 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2390 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2391 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2392 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2395 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2396 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2398 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2399 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2401 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2402 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2405 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2409 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2410 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2411 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2412 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2413 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2414 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2416 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2417 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2420 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2421 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2422 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2423 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2424 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2425 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2426 various internal method names.)
2428 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2429 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2431 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2432 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2434 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2435 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2437 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2438 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2439 methods are undefined.
2441 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2442 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2444 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2445 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2446 length of the modulus.
2448 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2449 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2451 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2452 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2454 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2455 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2457 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2458 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2459 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2462 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2463 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2464 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2465 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2467 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2468 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2469 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2470 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2472 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2473 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2475 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2476 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2477 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2478 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2479 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2481 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2482 This applies to the following functions:
2487 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2488 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2490 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2491 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2495 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2500 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2502 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2503 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2504 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2505 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2506 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2508 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2509 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2511 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2512 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2513 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2515 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2516 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2518 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2519 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2520 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2521 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2522 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2524 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2526 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2527 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2528 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2529 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2530 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2531 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2532 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2533 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2534 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2535 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2536 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2537 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2539 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2542 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2543 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2544 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2545 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2547 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2548 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2549 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2550 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2555 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2556 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2557 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2558 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2559 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2561 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2562 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2563 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2564 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2565 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2566 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2567 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2568 adding different types of curves.
2569 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2571 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2572 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2573 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2576 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2577 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2579 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2580 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2581 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2582 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2584 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2586 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2587 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2589 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2590 library. Most notably,
2591 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2592 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2593 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2594 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2595 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2596 extracted before the specific public key;
2597 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2598 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2600 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2601 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2603 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2604 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2605 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2606 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2608 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2609 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2610 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2612 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2613 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2614 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2615 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2616 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2617 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2621 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2623 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2625 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2627 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2628 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2629 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2632 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2633 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2634 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2637 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2640 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2641 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2644 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2645 run algorithm test programs.
2648 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2651 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2652 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2653 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2654 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2655 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2658 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2659 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2662 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2664 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2665 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2666 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2668 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2669 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2671 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2672 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2674 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2675 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2676 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2678 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2679 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2680 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2681 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2682 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2683 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2684 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2687 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2689 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2690 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2692 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2693 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2694 undesirable limitations.
2695 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2697 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2699 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2700 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2701 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2703 The latter two were purportedly from
2704 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2707 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2708 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2709 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2712 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2713 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2716 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2718 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2719 module in FIPS mode.
2722 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2725 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2726 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2727 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2728 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2731 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2733 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2734 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2735 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2736 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2737 the difference induced by this change.
2740 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2742 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2743 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2744 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2745 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2746 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2748 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2749 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2750 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2752 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2753 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2756 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2757 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2758 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2759 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2763 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2764 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2765 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2766 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2767 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2769 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2770 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2771 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2772 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2773 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2774 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2776 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2778 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2779 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2780 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2781 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2782 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2785 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2789 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2790 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2791 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2794 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2795 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2796 structures constant.
2799 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2801 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2804 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2805 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2806 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2807 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2808 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2809 some needed definitions.
2812 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2815 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2816 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2817 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2818 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2821 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2823 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2824 server and client random values. Previously
2825 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2826 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2828 This change has negligible security impact because:
2830 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2833 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2836 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2837 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2840 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2843 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2845 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2848 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2849 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2850 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2852 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2855 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2856 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2859 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2860 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2861 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2863 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2866 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2867 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2868 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2872 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2873 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2874 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2875 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2877 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2878 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2879 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2880 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2884 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2886 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2887 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2888 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2889 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2890 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2893 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2896 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2897 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2899 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2900 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2901 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2902 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2903 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2904 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2905 rather than being initialized to 1.
2908 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2910 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2911 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2912 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2914 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2916 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2918 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2919 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2920 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2921 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2922 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2923 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2926 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2927 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2928 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2929 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2930 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2934 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2935 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2936 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2937 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2938 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2941 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2942 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2943 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2947 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2948 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2950 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2953 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2955 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2957 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2958 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2960 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2962 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2963 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2967 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2968 exiting on the first error in a request.
2971 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2972 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2976 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2977 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2978 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2979 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2981 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2982 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2985 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2986 blocks during encryption.
2989 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2990 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2991 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2992 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2996 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2997 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2998 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2999 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3000 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3004 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3006 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3007 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3008 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3009 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3012 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3013 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3014 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3015 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3016 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3018 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3019 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3020 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3021 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3022 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3023 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3024 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3025 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3026 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3029 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3030 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3031 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3032 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3035 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3036 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3039 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3041 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3042 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3043 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3044 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3045 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3047 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3048 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3049 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3051 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3052 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3053 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3054 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3055 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3057 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3058 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3059 used by default when no-err is given.
3062 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3063 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3065 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3066 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3067 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3068 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3069 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3071 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3072 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3073 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3074 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3076 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3078 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3080 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3082 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3083 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3084 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3085 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3089 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3090 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3092 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3093 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3096 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3097 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3098 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3099 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3102 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3103 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3104 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3105 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3106 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3107 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3108 followup to PR #377.
3111 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3112 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3115 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3116 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3117 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
3118 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
3120 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
3122 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3125 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3126 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3127 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3128 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3130 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3134 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3135 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3139 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3140 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3141 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3142 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3143 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3144 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3146 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3147 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3148 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3149 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3150 have to be made anyway).
3153 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3154 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3155 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3158 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3159 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3160 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3163 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3164 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3165 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3167 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3168 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3169 edit numbers of the version.
3170 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3172 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3173 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3174 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3176 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3177 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3179 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3180 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3181 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3183 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
3184 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3186 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
3187 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3189 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
3190 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3192 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
3193 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3195 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
3197 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3199 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
3200 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
3201 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3203 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
3204 representations in a platform independent manner.
3205 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3207 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3208 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3209 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]

3218 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half

3242 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
3244 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3246 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().

3249 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

3252 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
3253 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
3255 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3257 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
3258 the 0.9.6 release series:
3260 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3261 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3263 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3265 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3268 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3269 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3271 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3272 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3274 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3275 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3276 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3277 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3279 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3280 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3281 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3283 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3284 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3285 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3286 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3288 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3289 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3290 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3293 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3294 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3295 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3296 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3297 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3298 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3299 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3300 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3303 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3304 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3305 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3308 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3309 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3310 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3311 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3312 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3314 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3315 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3317 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3318 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3321 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3322 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3323 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3324 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3325 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3326 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3329 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3330 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3331 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3334 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3335 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3338 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3339 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3340 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3341 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3342 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3343 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3344 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3347 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3348 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3349 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3350 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3351 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3352 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3355 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3356 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3357 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3358 declaration has been changed from
3361 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3362 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3363 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3364 has been changed into
3365 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3367 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3368 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3369 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3371 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3372 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3374 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3375 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3376 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3377 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3378 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3379 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3380 always load it have also been added.
3383 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3384 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3385 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3387 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3389 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3390 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3391 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3393 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3394 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3395 command line option can be used to specify an
3399 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3400 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3403 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3404 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3405 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3408 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3409 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3410 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3411 to work with the new engine framework.
3412 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3414 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3415 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3416 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3417 to work with the new engine framework.
3420 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3421 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3422 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3424 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3425 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3427 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3428 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3429 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3430 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3432 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3434 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3435 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3437 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3438 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3440 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3441 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3442 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3445 *) Add new functions
3447 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3448 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3449 These are similar to
3452 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3453 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3454 still in the error queue.
3455 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3457 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3459 default_algorithms = ALL
3460 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3463 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3466 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3469 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3470 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3471 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3472 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3474 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3475 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3477 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3478 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3480 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3481 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3484 *) New functions/macros
3486 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3487 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3488 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3489 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3491 to request calling a callback function
3493 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3494 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3496 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3497 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3498 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3499 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3500 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3501 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3502 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3503 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3504 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3505 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3507 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3508 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3511 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3512 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3513 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3514 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3515 the configuration scripts.
3517 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3518 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3519 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3521 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3522 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3524 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3525 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3526 when reusing an existing buffer.
3529 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3530 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3533 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3534 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3537 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3538 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3539 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3540 has the same effect.
3541 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3543 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3544 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3545 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3546 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3547 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3548 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3551 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3552 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3553 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3554 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3556 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3557 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3558 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3559 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3561 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3562 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3565 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3566 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3567 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3568 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3569 default), and then completely removed.
3572 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3573 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3574 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3575 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3576 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3577 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3578 particular extension is supported.
3581 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3582 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3585 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3586 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3587 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3588 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3589 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3590 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3591 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3592 requires the destination to be valid.
3594 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3595 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3598 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3599 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3600 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3603 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3604 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3606 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3607 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3608 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3609 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3610 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3611 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3612 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3613 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3614 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3615 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3616 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3617 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3618 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3619 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3620 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3621 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3622 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3623 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3624 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3628 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3631 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3632 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3633 become part of libeay.num as well.
3636 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3637 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3638 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3639 false once a handshake has been completed.
3640 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3641 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3642 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3643 client has followed the request.)
3646 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3647 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3648 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3649 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3651 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3652 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3653 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3656 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3659 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3660 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3661 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3664 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3665 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3668 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3669 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3670 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3671 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3674 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3675 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3676 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3677 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3678 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3679 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3682 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3683 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3684 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3685 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3686 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3687 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3688 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3689 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3692 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3693 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3696 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3699 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3700 md_data void pointer.
3703 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3704 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3705 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3706 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3707 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3708 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3711 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3712 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3713 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3714 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3715 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3716 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3717 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3718 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3719 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3720 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3721 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3722 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3723 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3724 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3725 rather than letting it slide.
3727 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3728 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3729 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3732 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3733 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3734 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3735 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3736 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3737 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3738 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3739 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3740 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3743 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3744 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3745 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3746 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3747 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3749 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3752 *) Add EVP test program.
3755 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3758 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3759 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3760 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3761 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3762 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3765 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3766 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3767 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3768 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3769 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3770 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3771 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3773 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3774 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3775 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3780 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3781 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3782 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3783 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3784 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3788 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3789 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3790 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3791 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3794 des_key_schedule ks;
3796 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3797 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3799 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3802 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3803 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3804 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3805 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3806 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3807 functions prevents this.
3810 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3813 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3814 correct _ecb suffix.
3817 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3818 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3819 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3820 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3821 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3824 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3827 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3828 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3829 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3830 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3832 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3833 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3835 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3836 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3837 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3838 via Richard Levitte]
3840 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3841 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3842 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3843 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3846 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3849 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

3864 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3865 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3867 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3868 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3869 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3870 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3871 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3872 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3875 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3876 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3879 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3880 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3881 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3882 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3884 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3885 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3886 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3887 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3888 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3889 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3893 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3894 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3895 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3896 and interrupts/cancellations.
3899 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3900 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3903 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3904 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3905 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3907 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3908 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3912 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3913 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3914 than this minimum value is recommended.
3917 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3918 that are easily reachable.
3921 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3922 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3924 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3926 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3927 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3928 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3929 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3932 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3933 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3934 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3937 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3938 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3939 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3940 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3941 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3942 internally such as S/MIME.
3944 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3945 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3946 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3948 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3952 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3953 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3954 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3955 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3957 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3959 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3961 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3962 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3963 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3967 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3968 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3969 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3970 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3971 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3972 a window system and the like.
3975 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3976 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3979 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3980 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3981 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3982 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3983 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3984 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3985 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3986 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3987 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3991 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3992 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3996 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3997 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3998 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3999 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4000 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4001 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4002 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4003 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4006 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4007 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4008 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4009 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4010 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4011 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4012 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4013 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4014 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4015 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4016 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4017 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4018 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4019 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4020 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4021 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4022 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4025 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4026 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4027 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4028 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4029 internal engine_int.h header.
4032 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4033 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4034 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4035 modify their own ones).
4038 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4039 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4040 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4041 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4042 later on via ctrl() commands.
4043 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4044 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4045 structural references.
4046 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4047 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4048 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4049 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4050 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4051 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4052 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4053 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4054 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4055 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4056 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4057 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4060 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4061 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4062 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4063 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4064 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4065 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4066 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4067 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4070 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4071 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4074 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4075 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4078 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4079 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4080 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4081 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4082 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4083 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4084 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4087 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4088 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4089 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4090 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4091 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4093 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4094 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4098 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4100 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4101 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4102 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4104 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4105 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4107 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4108 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4109 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4111 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4112 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4114 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4115 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4117 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4119 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4120 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4121 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4124 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4125 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4128 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4129 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4130 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4131 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4132 is 40 of more characters long.
4135 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4136 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4140 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4141 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4144 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4145 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4149 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4151 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4152 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4155 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4157 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4158 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4159 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4161 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4162 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4164 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4167 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4171 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4172 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4173 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4174 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4176 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4178 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4179 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4181 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4182 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4183 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4184 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4185 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4186 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4188 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4189 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4191 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4192 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4194 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4195 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4197 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4198 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4199 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4200 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4202 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4203 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4205 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4206 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4208 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4209 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4210 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4211 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4212 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4215 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4216 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4217 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4218 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4221 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4222 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4223 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4227 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4228 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4229 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4230 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4231 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4232 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4233 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4234 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4238 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4239 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4242 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4243 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4244 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4245 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4248 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4249 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4250 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4251 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4252 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4253 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4254 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4255 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4256 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4257 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4260 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4261 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4262 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4263 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4264 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4265 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4266 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4267 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4269 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4270 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4271 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4272 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4275 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4276 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4277 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4278 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4280 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4281 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4282 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4283 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4284 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4288 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4289 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4290 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4291 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4295 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4296 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4297 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4300 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4301 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4302 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4303 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4304 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4307 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4310 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4311 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4312 option to ocsp utility.
4315 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4316 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4317 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4318 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4319 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4320 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4321 the request is nonce-less.
4324 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4325 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4326 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4329 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4330 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4331 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4334 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4335 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4336 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4337 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4338 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4341 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4342 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4346 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4347 additional certificates supplied.
4350 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4351 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4355 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4356 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4359 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4360 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4361 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4362 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4363 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4364 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4365 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4366 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4367 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4369 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4370 request to response.
4373 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4374 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4375 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4376 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4377 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4378 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4379 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4380 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4381 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4382 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4383 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4386 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4387 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4388 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4389 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4392 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4393 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4395 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4396 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4397 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4400 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4401 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4402 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4403 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4404 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4406 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4407 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4408 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4411 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4412 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4413 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4414 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4415 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4416 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4417 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4418 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4420 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4421 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4422 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4423 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4424 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4425 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4428 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4429 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4430 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4431 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4432 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4433 printout format cleaned up.
4436 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4437 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4438 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4439 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4440 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4441 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4442 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4443 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4446 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4447 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4448 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4449 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4450 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4451 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4452 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4453 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4456 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4457 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4458 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4459 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4461 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4463 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4464 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4465 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4466 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4469 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4470 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4471 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4472 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4474 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4476 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4477 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4478 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4479 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4481 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4482 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4484 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4485 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4486 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4489 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4490 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4491 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4494 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4495 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4496 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4497 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4498 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4499 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4500 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4501 functions are provided:
4503 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4504 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4505 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4506 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4508 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4509 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4510 extended allocation function is enabled.
4511 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4512 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4513 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4515 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4516 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4517 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4518 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4519 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4522 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4523 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4524 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4526 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4527 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4528 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4531 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4532 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4533 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4534 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4535 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4536 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4537 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4538 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4539 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4542 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4543 provide utility functions which an application needing
4544 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4545 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4546 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4548 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4549 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4550 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4551 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4552 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4553 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4554 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4555 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4556 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4558 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4559 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4560 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4561 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4564 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4565 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4566 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4567 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4568 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4569 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4570 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4571 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4572 will be added elsewhere.
4575 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4576 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4577 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4578 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4581 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4582 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4583 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4584 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4585 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4586 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4587 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4588 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4589 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4590 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4591 to produce the required SET OF.
4594 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4595 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4596 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4599 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4600 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4601 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4602 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4603 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4604 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4607 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4608 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4609 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4612 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4613 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4614 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4617 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4618 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4619 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4620 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4621 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4624 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4625 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4628 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4629 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4630 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4631 certifcates and CRLs.
4634 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4635 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4636 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4639 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4640 entries for variables.
4643 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4644 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4645 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4646 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4649 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4650 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4651 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4652 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4653 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4654 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4657 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4658 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4660 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4661 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4662 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4665 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4669 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4670 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4671 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4672 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4673 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4674 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4677 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4680 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4681 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4682 for now but they will eventually go away.
4685 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4686 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4687 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4688 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4689 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4690 has also been converted to the new form.
4693 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4694 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4695 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4696 for negative moduli.
4699 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4700 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4703 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4707 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4708 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4709 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4710 type-specific callbacks.
4713 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4715 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4716 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4718 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4719 in sections depending on the subject.
4722 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4726 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4727 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4728 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4729 be handled deterministically).
4730 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4732 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4733 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4734 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4737 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4740 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4741 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4742 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4743 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4744 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4747 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4748 sign of the number in question.
4750 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4752 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4753 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4754 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4755 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4756 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4759 *) New function BN_swap.
4762 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4763 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4764 results on negative inputs.
4767 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4768 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4769 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4772 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4773 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4774 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4775 and add new functions:
4784 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4788 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4790 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4791 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4793 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4794 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4795 be reduced modulo m.
4796 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4799 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4800 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4801 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4803 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4804 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4805 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4806 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4807 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4808 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4813 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4814 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4815 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4816 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4817 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4819 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4820 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4821 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4825 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4828 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4829 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4832 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4833 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4834 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4835 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4839 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4842 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4845 *) Add the following functions:
4847 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4849 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4851 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4853 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4854 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4855 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4856 libraries unless it's really needed.
4858 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4859 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4860 declarations (they differed!).
4863 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4866 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4869 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4872 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4873 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4876 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4877 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4878 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4880 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4881 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4884 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4887 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4890 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4893 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4894 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4895 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4897 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4898 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4899 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4900 different shared library filenames on each system.
4903 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4906 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4907 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4908 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4910 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4913 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4914 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4915 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4916 binary backward compatibility.
4917 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4918 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4919 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4923 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4924 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4925 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4926 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4930 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4933 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4934 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4935 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4936 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4940 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4943 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4945 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4946 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4947 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4949 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4951 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4953 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4954 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4957 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4959 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4961 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4962 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4964 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4965 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4969 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4970 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4974 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4975 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4976 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4977 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4979 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4980 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4983 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4985 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4986 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4987 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4988 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4991 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4992 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4993 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4994 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4995 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4997 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4998 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4999 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5000 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5001 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5002 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5003 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5004 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5005 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5008 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5010 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5011 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5012 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5013 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5014 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5016 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5017 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5018 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5020 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5022 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5023 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5024 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5025 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5026 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5027 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5030 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5031 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5032 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5033 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5034 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5037 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5038 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5039 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5041 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5042 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5043 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5047 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
5048 being properly terminated.
5051 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5052 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5053 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5054 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5056 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5057 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5058 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5059 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5060 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5061 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5062 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5064 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5066 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5067 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5070 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5071 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5072 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
5073 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
5074 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
5075 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
5076 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
5077 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5079 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5080 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5081 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5082 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5083 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5085 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5086 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5089 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5091 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5092 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5093 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5095 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5097 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5098 and get fix the header length calculation.
5099 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5100 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5103 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5104 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5105 assertions could call abort()).
5106 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5108 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5110 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5111 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5112 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5114 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5116 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5117 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5118 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5121 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5125 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5126 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5127 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5129 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5130 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5131 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5132 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5133 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5137 *) Changes in security patch:
5139 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5140 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5141 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5144 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5145 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5146 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5147 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5148 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5150 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5152 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5154 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5155 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5156 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5158 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5159 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5160 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5162 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5163 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5164 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5166 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5168 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5169 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5170 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5172 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5173 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5175 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5176 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5177 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5178 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5179 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5180 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5183 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5184 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5185 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5186 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5189 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5192 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5193 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5194 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5195 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5196 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5197 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5199 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5200 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5201 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5202 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5203 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5206 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5207 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5208 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5209 BN_generate_prime().)
5211 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5212 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5213 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5217 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5218 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5221 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5222 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5223 when using non-blocking I/O.
5224 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5226 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5227 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5229 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5230 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5233 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5234 configuration for the versions before that.
5235 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5237 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5238 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5239 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5240 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5243 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5244 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5245 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5248 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5252 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5253 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5254 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5256 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5257 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5259 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5260 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5261 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5262 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5263 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5264 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5265 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5268 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5269 using a local variable.
5270 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5272 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5273 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5274 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5276 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5279 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5280 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5282 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5283 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5284 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5286 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5288 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5289 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5290 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5291 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5294 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5298 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5299 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5300 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5301 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5302 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5304 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5305 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5306 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5308 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5309 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5310 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5312 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5313 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5314 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5315 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5317 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5318 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5319 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5321 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5323 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5324 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5326 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5328 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5329 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5330 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5331 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5333 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5334 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5335 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5336 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5338 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5339 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5341 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5342 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5343 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5346 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5347 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5348 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5350 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5352 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5353 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5354 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5355 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5356 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5357 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5358 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5361 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5362 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5363 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5364 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5366 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5367 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5368 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5369 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5370 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5371 the client will at least see that alert.
5374 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5378 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5379 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5380 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5382 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5383 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5384 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5385 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5388 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5389 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5390 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5392 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5393 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5394 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5395 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5396 may leak via logfiles.)
5398 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5399 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5400 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5401 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5405 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5406 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5409 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5410 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5411 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5412 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5413 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5416 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5417 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5419 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5420 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5421 followed by modular reduction.
5422 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5424 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5425 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5428 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5429 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5430 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5431 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5434 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5437 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5438 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5441 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5442 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5443 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5444 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5445 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5446 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5448 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5450 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5451 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5452 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5453 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5454 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5456 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5459 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5460 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5461 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5462 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5463 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5464 to allow the necessary settings.
5467 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5468 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5469 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5470 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5473 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5474 dh->length and always used
5476 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5478 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5479 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5480 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5481 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5482 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5487 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5489 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5495 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5496 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5497 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5498 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5500 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5501 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5502 always reject numbers >= n.
5505 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5506 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5507 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5508 variable) is not atomic.
5511 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5512 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5513 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5514 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5516 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5517 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5519 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5521 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5523 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5526 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5528 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5529 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5530 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5531 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5532 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5533 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5534 to traverse all of 'state'.
5536 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5537 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5538 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5540 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5541 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5543 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5544 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5545 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5546 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5547 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5548 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5549 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5550 further strengthens the PRNG.
5553 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5556 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5557 an error message in this case.
5560 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5563 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5564 positive and less than q.
5567 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5568 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5570 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5572 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5573 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5577 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5579 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5580 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5581 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5582 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5583 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5584 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5585 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5588 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5589 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5590 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5591 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5593 Both problems are now fixed.
5596 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5597 (previously it was 1024).
5600 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5601 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5604 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5607 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5608 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5609 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5612 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5613 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5614 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5615 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5616 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5617 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5618 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5619 environment variables.
5621 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5622 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5623 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5626 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5627 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5628 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5629 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5630 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5631 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5634 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5638 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5640 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5641 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5643 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5644 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5645 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5646 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5650 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5651 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5652 amount of data available.
5653 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5654 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5656 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5657 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5658 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5659 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5662 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5663 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5667 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5668 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5669 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5670 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5673 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5676 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5679 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5680 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5682 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5684 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5685 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5686 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5687 (but broken) behaviour.
5690 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5692 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5694 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5695 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5698 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5702 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5703 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5705 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5708 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5709 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5710 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5712 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5713 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5714 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5717 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5718 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5721 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5722 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5724 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5726 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5728 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5729 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5730 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5731 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5734 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5737 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5738 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5739 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5741 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5744 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5746 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5747 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5748 but the code is actually correct.
5751 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5752 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5753 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5754 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5755 and leaves the highest bit random.
5756 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5758 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5759 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5760 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5761 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5762 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5763 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5764 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5767 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5770 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5771 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5774 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5775 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5776 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5777 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5781 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5782 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5783 and break the signature.
5785 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5787 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5791 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5792 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5793 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5794 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5795 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5798 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5799 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5801 *) ./config script fixes.
5802 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5804 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5807 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5808 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5809 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5810 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5811 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5813 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5814 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5817 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5818 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5821 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5822 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5823 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5824 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5826 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5827 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5829 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5830 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5831 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5832 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5833 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5835 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5838 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5841 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5844 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5847 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5848 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5851 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5852 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5853 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5854 result of the server certificate verification.)
5857 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5858 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5859 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5863 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5864 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5865 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5866 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5867 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5868 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5869 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5870 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5873 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5874 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5875 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5876 happening the other way round.
5879 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5880 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5883 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5884 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5885 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5886 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5889 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5890 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5892 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5894 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5895 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5896 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5899 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5901 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5903 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5907 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5909 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5910 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5911 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5912 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5913 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5915 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5916 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5920 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5923 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5925 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5926 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5927 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5928 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5929 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5930 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5931 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5932 by the Finished messages.
5935 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5936 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5938 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5939 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5940 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5941 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5942 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5946 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5947 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5948 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5949 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5950 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5951 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5952 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5953 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5954 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5958 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5959 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5960 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5961 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5963 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5964 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5965 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5966 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5967 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5970 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5971 been tested well enough.
5974 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5975 it can return incorrect results.
5976 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5977 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5980 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5981 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5982 include zero length content when signing messages.
5985 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5986 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5989 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5992 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5996 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5997 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5998 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5999 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6000 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6001 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6004 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6005 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6007 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6008 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6010 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6011 random number < q in the DSA library.
6014 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6015 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6016 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6017 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6018 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6019 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6020 just makes things more complicated.)
6023 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6027 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6028 work better on such systems.
6029 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6031 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6032 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6033 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6036 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6037 if there was more than one signature.
6038 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6040 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6041 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6042 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6043 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6046 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6047 rather than always using the current time.
6050 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6051 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6052 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6053 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6054 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6055 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6057 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6058 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6060 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6062 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6063 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6064 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6065 the same hash value.
6067 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6068 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6069 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6070 with X509_STORE internally.
6072 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6073 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6075 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6076 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6077 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6078 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6079 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6080 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6081 entirely (maybe later...).
6083 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6085 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6086 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6087 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6088 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6089 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6090 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6091 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6092 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6094 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6095 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6097 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6098 to customise the verify behaviour.
6101 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6102 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6105 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6106 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6107 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6108 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6109 request is improperly encoded.
6112 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6113 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6116 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6117 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6119 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6120 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6124 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6125 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6126 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6129 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6130 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6131 BIO/fp routines also added.
6134 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6135 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6137 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6138 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6139 demos/state_machine.
6142 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6143 generation and verification.
6146 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6147 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6148 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6149 encode and decode it manually.
6152 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6154 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6156 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6157 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6158 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6159 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6161 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6162 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6163 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6164 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6165 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6168 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6171 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6172 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6173 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6175 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6176 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6177 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6178 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6179 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6180 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6181 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6182 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6184 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6185 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6187 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6189 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6190 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6191 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6195 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6196 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6197 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6198 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6202 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6204 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6207 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6208 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6209 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6210 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6211 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6212 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6213 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6214 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6215 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6216 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6217 short or long names are found.
6220 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6221 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6223 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6224 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6225 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6226 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6228 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6229 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6230 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6231 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6234 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6235 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6236 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6239 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6240 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6241 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6242 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6243 to allow the various flags to be set.
6246 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6247 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6248 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6249 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6250 dates to be checked.
6253 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6254 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6255 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6258 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6259 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6260 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6263 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6264 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6267 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6268 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6269 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6270 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6271 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6272 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6275 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6276 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6280 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6284 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6285 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6286 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6287 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6288 form signing output easier to verify.
6291 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6294 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6295 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6296 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6297 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6298 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6299 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6300 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6301 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6302 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6303 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6306 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6308 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6309 the syntax given in objects.README.
6310 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6312 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6315 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6316 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6317 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6318 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6319 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6320 consistent name changes.
6323 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6326 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6327 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6328 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6329 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6332 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6333 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6334 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6338 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6339 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6340 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6341 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6344 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6345 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6346 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6347 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6348 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6349 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6350 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6351 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6352 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6353 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6354 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6357 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6358 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6359 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6360 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6361 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6362 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6363 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6364 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6365 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6366 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6369 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6370 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6371 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6372 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6374 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6375 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6376 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6377 omit any duplicate addresses.
6380 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6381 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6384 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6385 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6386 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6387 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6388 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6391 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6393 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6394 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6395 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6396 Free => OPENSSL_free
6399 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6400 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6403 *) CygWin32 support.
6404 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6406 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6407 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6408 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6409 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6410 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6414 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6415 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6416 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6417 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6418 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6419 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6420 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6423 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6424 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6425 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6426 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6427 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6428 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6429 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6430 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6431 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6432 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6433 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6436 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6437 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6438 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6439 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6440 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6442 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6443 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6444 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6445 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6446 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6448 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6451 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6452 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6453 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6454 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6456 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6458 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6461 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6462 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6463 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6466 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6467 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6468 any installed hardware versions can.
6471 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6472 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6473 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6477 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6478 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6479 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6480 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6481 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6483 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6484 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6487 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6488 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6491 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6492 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6493 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6497 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6500 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6501 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6502 but no ssl client purpose.
6503 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6505 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6506 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6507 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6508 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6509 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6510 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6511 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6512 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6513 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6514 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6515 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6518 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6519 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6520 be obtained from the error queue.
6523 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6524 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6525 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6526 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6529 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6532 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6533 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6534 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6535 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6536 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6539 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6540 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6541 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6542 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6543 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6546 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6547 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6548 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6550 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6552 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6553 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6554 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6555 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6556 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6557 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6558 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6559 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6560 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6561 or "the configuration storage API"...
6563 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6565 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6566 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6568 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6570 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6572 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6573 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6574 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6575 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6576 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6577 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6578 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6580 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6581 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6584 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6585 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6586 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6587 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6590 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6591 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6592 them in a portable way.
6593 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6595 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6597 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6599 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6600 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6602 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6603 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6604 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6607 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6608 was larger than the MD block size.
6609 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6611 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6612 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6613 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6614 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6618 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6619 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6620 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6622 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6624 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6626 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6627 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6628 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6629 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6630 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6631 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6633 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6634 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6636 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6637 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6640 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6643 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6644 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6646 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6647 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6648 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6649 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6652 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6653 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6654 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6655 does not suppress any output.
6658 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6659 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6660 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6661 with all the associated security issues.
6663 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6664 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6665 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6666 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6667 use the value in the default purpose.
6670 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6671 and fix a memory leak.
6674 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6675 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6676 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6677 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6680 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6681 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6682 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6683 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6686 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6687 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6688 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6691 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6692 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6695 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6696 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6700 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6701 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6704 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6705 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6706 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6709 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6710 number generation fails.
6713 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6716 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6717 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6719 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6722 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6723 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6725 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6726 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6728 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6730 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6731 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6734 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6735 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6737 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6738 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6741 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6742 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6743 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6744 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6745 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6746 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6748 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6749 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6750 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6754 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6755 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6756 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6757 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6758 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6759 counter, some don't.)
6760 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6761 counters or duplicate objects.
6764 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6765 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6768 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6769 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6770 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6772 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6773 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6774 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6778 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6779 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6782 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6783 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6784 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6788 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6789 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6790 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6793 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6794 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6795 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6796 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6797 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6798 should work without changes.
6801 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6802 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6803 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6804 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6805 must be defined. E.g.,
6806 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6807 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6808 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6809 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6811 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6815 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6816 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6817 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6820 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6821 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6822 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6823 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6826 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6827 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6828 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6829 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6830 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6831 is prompted for as usual.
6834 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6835 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6836 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6837 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6839 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6840 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6841 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6842 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6845 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6848 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6852 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6855 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6858 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6862 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6865 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6868 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6869 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6872 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6873 options to produce them.
6876 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6877 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6880 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6884 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6885 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6886 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6887 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6888 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6889 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6890 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6893 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6896 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6897 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6898 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6901 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6902 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6904 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6905 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6908 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6909 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6910 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6914 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6915 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6917 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6918 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6919 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6920 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6921 generation becomes much faster.
6923 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6924 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6925 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6926 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6927 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6928 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6929 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6930 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6931 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6932 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6935 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6936 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6937 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6938 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6939 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6940 trial division stage.
6943 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6947 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6950 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6953 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6954 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6955 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6959 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6960 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6961 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6964 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6965 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6966 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6967 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6969 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6970 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6973 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6976 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6977 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6978 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6979 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6982 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6983 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6984 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6987 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6988 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6989 (instead of parameters) in future.
6992 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6993 when a new cipher list is set.
6996 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6997 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7000 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7001 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7002 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7004 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7005 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7006 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7007 an error is flagged.
7009 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7010 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7011 the readability was also increased :-)
7012 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7014 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7015 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7016 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7017 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7021 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7022 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7025 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7026 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7027 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7028 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7031 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7032 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7033 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7034 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7035 because they handle more complex structures.)
7038 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7039 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7040 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7041 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7043 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7044 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7045 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7046 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7047 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7048 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7049 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7052 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7053 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7054 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7055 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7056 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7059 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7062 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7063 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7064 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7065 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7066 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7069 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7073 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7074 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7075 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7076 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7079 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7082 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7083 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7084 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7085 international characters are used.
7087 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7088 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7089 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7093 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7094 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7095 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7098 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7099 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7100 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7101 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7102 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7103 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7105 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7106 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7107 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7108 be handled by the string table functions.
7110 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7111 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7112 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7113 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7114 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7118 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7119 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7120 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7121 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7122 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7124 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7125 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7126 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7127 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7130 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7131 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7132 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7133 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7134 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7138 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7139 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7140 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7141 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7142 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7143 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7144 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7145 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7147 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7148 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7149 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7152 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7153 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7154 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7155 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7156 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7157 support to pkcs8 application.
7160 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7161 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7162 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7163 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7164 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7165 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7168 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7169 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7170 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7171 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7172 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7176 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7177 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7178 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7179 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7183 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7184 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7185 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7186 and any application specific purposes.
7188 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7189 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7190 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7191 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7192 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7193 if the certificate is self signed.
7196 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7197 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7200 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7201 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7202 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7203 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7206 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7207 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7208 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7209 Update documentation.
7212 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7213 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7214 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7215 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7216 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7219 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7221 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7223 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7224 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7225 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7226 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7227 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7228 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7229 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7230 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7231 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7232 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7234 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7236 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7237 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7238 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7239 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7240 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7242 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7243 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7244 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7245 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7246 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7247 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7248 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7249 request additional information:
7250 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7251 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7253 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7254 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7255 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7258 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7259 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7262 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7265 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7266 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7268 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7269 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7270 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7274 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7275 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7276 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7278 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7279 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7280 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7281 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7282 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7283 included in OpenSSL.
7286 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7287 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7288 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7289 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7290 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7291 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7294 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7298 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7299 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7300 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7301 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7302 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7306 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7310 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7311 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7312 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7313 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7314 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7315 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7316 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7317 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7318 be maintained manually.
7320 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7321 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7322 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7323 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7324 work because people forget to call this function]
7325 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7326 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7327 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7330 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7331 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7332 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7333 should be discouraged from doing it.
7336 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7337 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7338 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7339 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7340 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7341 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7344 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7345 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7346 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7348 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7349 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7350 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7352 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7353 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7354 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7355 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7356 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7357 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7359 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7360 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7361 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7363 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7364 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7367 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7368 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7369 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7370 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7373 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7376 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7377 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7378 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7379 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7380 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7381 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7382 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7383 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7384 keys so we should be OK.
7386 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7387 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7388 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7389 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7390 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7391 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7392 stay in the name of compatibility.
7394 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7395 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7396 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7398 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7399 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7400 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7401 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7402 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7403 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7407 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7408 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7409 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7410 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7411 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7412 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7413 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7414 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7415 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7416 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7417 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7418 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7419 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7422 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7425 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7426 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7427 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7428 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7429 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7430 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7431 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7432 openssl verify ss.pem
7433 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7434 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7438 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7439 (and add it to external session representation).
7440 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7441 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7442 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7443 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7444 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7445 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7447 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7449 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7450 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7451 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7452 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7454 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7455 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7456 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7459 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7460 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7461 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7465 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7466 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7467 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7469 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7470 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7471 certificate auxiliary information.
7474 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7478 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7479 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7480 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7481 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7482 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7483 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7484 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7487 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7488 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7491 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7492 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7493 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7494 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7497 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7500 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7501 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7504 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7505 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7506 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7507 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7508 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7509 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7510 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7511 using the new 'x509' options.
7513 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7514 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7515 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7516 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7520 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7521 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7522 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7523 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7524 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7527 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7528 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7529 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7530 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7531 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7532 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7533 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7534 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7535 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7536 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7539 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7540 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7541 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7542 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7543 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7544 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7545 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7548 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7549 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7550 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7551 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7552 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7553 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7554 openssl.cnf for more info.
7557 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7558 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7559 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7560 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7561 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7562 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7563 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7564 md should be large enough anyway.
7567 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7568 for handling the random seed file.
7570 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7572 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7575 x509 (when signing).
7576 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7577 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7578 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7580 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7581 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7582 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7583 that support '-rand'.
7586 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7587 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7590 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7591 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7594 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7595 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7596 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7597 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7601 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7602 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7603 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7604 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7607 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7608 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7609 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7610 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7611 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7612 print out all the purposes.
7615 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7619 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7620 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7621 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7622 single function call.
7625 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7626 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7629 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7630 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7631 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7634 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7635 when producing the local key id.
7636 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7638 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7639 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7640 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7644 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7645 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7646 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7647 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7650 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7651 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7652 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7653 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7655 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7656 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7657 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7658 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7660 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7661 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7662 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7663 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7664 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7665 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7666 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7667 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7668 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7669 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7670 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7671 trivial: move one line.
7672 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7674 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7675 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7676 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7677 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7678 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7679 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7680 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7681 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7682 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7683 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7684 with an event loop for example.
7687 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7688 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7689 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7690 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7691 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7692 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7693 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7694 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7695 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7698 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7699 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7700 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7701 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7702 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7703 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7706 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7707 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7708 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7709 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7711 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7712 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7713 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7714 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7718 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7719 (still largely untested)
7722 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7723 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7726 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7727 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7730 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7731 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7732 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7735 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7736 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7737 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7738 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7739 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7742 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7745 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7746 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7747 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7748 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7749 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7753 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7754 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7757 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7760 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7761 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7762 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7763 are otherwise ignored at present.
7766 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7767 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7768 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7769 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7770 copied until the next read.
7773 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7774 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7775 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7778 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7779 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7780 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7781 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7782 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7783 associated functions.
7786 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7787 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7788 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7789 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7790 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7791 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7792 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7793 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7794 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7798 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7799 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7800 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7801 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7804 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7805 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7806 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7807 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7808 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7812 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7813 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7817 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7818 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7819 extensions to be obtained and added.
7822 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7823 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7826 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7828 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7829 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7831 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7832 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7834 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7838 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7839 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7840 DH parameters contain its length).
7842 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7843 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7844 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7845 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7846 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7847 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7848 utter importance to use
7849 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7851 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7852 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7853 attacks may become possible!
7856 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7859 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7860 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7863 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7864 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7865 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7869 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7870 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7871 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7872 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7873 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7874 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7875 private key operations.
7878 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7881 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7882 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7884 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7885 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7886 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7887 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7888 the password callback is called.
7889 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7891 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7893 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7894 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7895 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7896 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7897 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7898 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7901 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7902 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7903 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7904 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7905 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7906 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7909 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7912 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7913 delete an unused file.
7916 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7917 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7918 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7919 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7922 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7923 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7924 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7928 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7929 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7930 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7932 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7933 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7934 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7935 comparison" warnings.
7936 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7939 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7940 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7941 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7944 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7945 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7947 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7948 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7950 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7951 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7952 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7954 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7955 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7956 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7957 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7958 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7960 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7962 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7963 The interface is as follows:
7964 Applications can use
7965 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7966 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7967 "off" is now the default.
7968 The library internally uses
7969 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7970 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7971 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7973 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7974 even the default) are now avoided.
7976 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7977 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7978 than just having a counter.
7980 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7982 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7986 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7987 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7988 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7989 Initial "mode" flags are:
7991 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7992 a single record has been written.
7993 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7994 retries use the same buffer location.
7995 (But all of the contents must be
7999 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8002 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8003 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8005 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8006 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8007 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8010 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8011 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8013 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8015 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8016 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8017 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8018 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8020 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8021 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8023 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8024 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8025 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8026 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8027 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8028 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8031 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8032 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8033 necessary function names.
8036 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8037 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8038 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8039 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8042 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8043 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8044 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8047 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8048 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8049 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8050 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8052 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8056 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8057 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8058 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8061 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8062 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8066 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8067 for the encoded length.
8068 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8070 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8073 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8074 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8075 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8076 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8079 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8080 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8081 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8083 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8084 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8085 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8089 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8090 to use the new extension code.
8093 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8094 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8095 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8099 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8100 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8101 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8105 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8108 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8109 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8110 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8113 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8114 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8115 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8116 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8119 *) DES library cleanups.
8122 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8123 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8124 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8125 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8126 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8130 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8131 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8134 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8135 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8136 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8137 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8138 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8139 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8140 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8141 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8142 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8145 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8146 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8147 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8148 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8149 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8150 value doesn't matter.
8153 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8157 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8158 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8159 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8160 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8162 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8165 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8166 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8167 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8169 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8170 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8172 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8175 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8178 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8181 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8185 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8187 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8189 *) Updated some demos.
8190 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8192 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8195 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8198 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8201 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8202 instead of using a fixed path.
8205 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8208 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8212 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8214 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8215 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8216 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8218 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8219 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8220 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8221 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8222 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8223 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8224 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8225 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8226 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8227 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8230 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8231 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8234 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8235 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8236 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8237 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8238 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8240 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8243 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8244 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8245 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8248 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8251 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8252 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8253 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8254 key elements as negative integers.
8257 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8258 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8261 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8263 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8264 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8265 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8268 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8269 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8270 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8271 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8272 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8275 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8278 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8279 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8280 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8281 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8283 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8284 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8285 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8287 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8288 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8289 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8290 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8291 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8292 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8293 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8294 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8295 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8297 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8298 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8299 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8300 does not influence s as it used to.
8302 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8303 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8304 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8305 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8306 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8307 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8310 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8311 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8312 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8316 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8317 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8318 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8322 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8323 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8324 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8328 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8329 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8332 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8333 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8338 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8339 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8341 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8342 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8344 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8347 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8350 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8351 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8353 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8354 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8355 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8359 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8360 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8361 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8362 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8363 now it really counts the depth.
8366 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8367 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8368 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8369 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8370 didn't match the private key).
8372 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8373 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8374 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8377 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8380 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8384 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8385 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8386 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8389 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8392 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8393 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8394 such as /usr/local/bin.
8397 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8398 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8400 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8403 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8404 extension adding in x509 utility.
8407 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8410 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8414 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8417 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8418 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8419 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8420 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8421 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8422 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8423 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8424 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8425 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8426 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8429 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8432 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8433 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8436 *) Fix some race conditions.
8439 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8440 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8443 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8446 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8447 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8448 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8449 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8451 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8452 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8454 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8455 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8456 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8458 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8459 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8461 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8464 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8465 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8467 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8470 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8471 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8473 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8474 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8477 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8478 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8481 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8482 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8485 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8486 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8489 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8490 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8493 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8494 support typesafe stack.
8497 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8498 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8500 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8501 old X509V3 handling code.
8504 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8507 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8510 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8513 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8514 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8516 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8517 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8518 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8519 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8520 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8523 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8524 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8525 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8526 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8527 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8529 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8530 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8531 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8532 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8534 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8535 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8536 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8537 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8539 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8540 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8541 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8542 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8543 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8544 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8547 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8548 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8551 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8552 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8555 *) Tweaks to Configure
8556 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8558 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8562 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8565 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8566 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8569 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8570 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8571 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8574 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8577 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8578 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8581 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8582 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8583 to library startup routines.
8586 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8587 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8588 codes along the way.
8591 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8592 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8593 objects to objects.h
8596 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8597 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8600 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8601 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8603 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8604 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8605 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8607 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8608 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8609 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8611 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8612 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8613 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8616 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8618 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8619 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8622 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8623 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8624 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8625 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8626 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8628 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8629 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8630 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8632 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8634 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8636 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8638 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8639 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8641 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8642 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8643 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8644 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8646 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8649 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8650 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8651 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8652 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8655 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8656 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8657 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8660 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8661 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8662 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8663 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8664 installed as `perl').
8665 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8667 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8668 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8670 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8671 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8672 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8673 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8674 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8677 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8680 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8681 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8682 is horrible: I feel ill....
8685 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8686 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8687 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8688 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8691 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8692 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8694 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8695 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8696 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8697 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8699 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8700 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8701 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8702 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8703 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8704 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8706 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8708 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8709 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8711 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8712 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8714 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8717 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8718 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8722 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8723 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8724 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8725 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8726 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8727 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8728 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8729 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8730 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8731 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8732 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8734 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8737 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8738 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8739 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8740 for linking it into DSOs.
8741 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8743 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8747 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8748 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8749 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8750 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8751 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8752 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8754 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8755 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8756 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8757 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8758 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8759 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8760 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8762 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8763 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8764 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8768 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8769 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8770 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8771 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8774 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8775 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8776 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8777 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8778 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8782 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8783 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8784 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8785 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8786 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8788 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8789 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8790 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8792 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8793 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8795 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8796 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8797 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8798 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8799 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8802 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8803 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8804 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8805 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8806 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8807 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8808 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8811 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8813 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8814 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8817 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8818 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8820 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8821 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8824 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8825 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8826 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8827 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8828 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8830 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8831 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8832 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8833 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8834 no way to reconfigure them.
8835 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8836 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8837 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8838 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8839 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8840 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8842 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8843 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8844 recognized by the users.
8845 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8847 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8848 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8849 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8850 already masked variable.
8851 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8853 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8854 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8856 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8857 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8858 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8859 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8861 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8862 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8863 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8865 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8866 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8867 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8868 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8869 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8870 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8871 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8872 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8874 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8876 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8877 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8878 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8880 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8881 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8885 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8886 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8888 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8889 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8890 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8891 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8894 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8897 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8898 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8900 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8903 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8904 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8907 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8908 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8911 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8912 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8913 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8914 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8915 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8916 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8917 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8920 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8921 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8923 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8924 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8925 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8926 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8927 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8929 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8930 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8931 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8934 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8935 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8939 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8940 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8941 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8943 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8944 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8945 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8949 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8950 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8951 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8952 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8955 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8956 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8957 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8958 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8961 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8962 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8963 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8964 so it wasn't spotted.
8965 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8967 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8968 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8969 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8970 vectors if you have them.
8973 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8974 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8977 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8978 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8979 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8980 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8982 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8983 it will update them.
8986 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8987 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8988 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8989 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8990 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8991 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8992 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8993 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8995 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8996 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8997 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8998 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8999 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9000 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9001 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9002 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9003 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9004 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9006 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9007 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9008 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9009 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9010 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9013 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9017 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9018 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9020 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9021 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9023 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9024 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9027 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9028 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9030 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9031 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9033 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9036 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9040 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9041 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9042 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9043 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9045 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9048 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9051 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9054 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9055 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9058 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9059 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9063 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9064 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9067 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9068 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9069 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9072 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9073 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9074 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9075 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9076 properly to be processed.
9079 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9080 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9081 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9084 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9085 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9087 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9088 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9089 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9090 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9091 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9092 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9093 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9094 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9095 or delete all the .err files.
9098 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9099 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9100 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9101 to regenerate it if needed.
9102 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9103 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9105 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9106 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9108 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9109 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9110 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9111 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9112 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9115 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9116 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9118 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9119 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9121 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9122 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9123 error, but didn't set one).
9124 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9126 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9129 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9130 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9133 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9134 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9136 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9137 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9138 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9139 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9140 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9141 OID is not part of the table.
9144 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9145 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9148 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9151 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9152 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9156 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9157 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9159 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9161 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9163 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9164 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9166 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9167 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9169 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9170 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9172 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9173 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9176 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9177 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9180 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9181 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9183 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9184 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9186 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9187 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9189 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9190 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9192 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9193 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9194 unused in the certificate verification process.
9195 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9197 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9198 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9201 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9202 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9203 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9205 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9206 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9207 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9208 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9209 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9211 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9212 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9215 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9218 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9221 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9222 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9224 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9227 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9230 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9233 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9234 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9235 other error libraries.
9238 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9241 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9242 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9246 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9247 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9248 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9249 the new set of documenation files.
9250 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9252 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9253 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9254 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9255 number of arguments.
9256 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9258 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9261 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9262 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9263 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9265 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9268 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9272 unixware-2.0-pentium
9276 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9277 before they are needed.
9280 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9284 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9286 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9287 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9288 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9290 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9293 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9294 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9295 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9297 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9298 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9299 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9301 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9302 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9303 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9305 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9306 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9308 *) Updated the README file.
9309 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9311 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9312 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9313 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9315 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9316 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9317 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9319 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9320 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9321 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9322 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9323 o removed obsolete TODO file
9324 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9325 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9327 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9328 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9329 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
9330 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
9331 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
9332 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9333 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9335 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9338 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9339 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9340 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9342 [The OpenSSL Project]
9345 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9347 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9350 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9353 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9354 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9357 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9358 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9362 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9364 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9366 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9369 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9372 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9375 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9378 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9381 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9384 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9387 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9390 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9393 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9396 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9399 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9402 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9405 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9408 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9411 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9414 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9417 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9418 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9419 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9422 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9423 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
