5 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
9 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
11 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
12 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
14 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
15 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
16 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
17 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
18 this only applies when building 'shared'.
19 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
21 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
22 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
23 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
26 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
27 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
28 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
29 - add new function for parameter creation
30 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
31 BN_BLINDING parameters
32 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
33 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
34 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
38 *) Add support for DTLS.
39 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
41 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
42 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
45 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
46 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
49 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
50 the apps/openssl applications.
53 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
54 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
55 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
58 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
59 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
61 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
62 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
64 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
65 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
66 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
67 avoid this algorithm.)
71 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
72 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
73 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
76 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
77 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
80 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
81 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
82 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
85 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
87 The blank line is mandatory.
91 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
92 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
96 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
97 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
99 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
100 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
101 to support policy checking and print out.
104 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
105 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
106 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
107 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
109 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
112 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
113 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
115 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
116 implementation contributed by IBM.
117 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
119 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
120 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
121 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
122 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
124 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
125 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
127 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
128 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
129 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
130 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
131 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
132 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
135 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
136 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
137 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
138 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
139 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
140 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
141 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
144 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
147 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
148 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
149 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
150 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
151 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
152 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
153 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
154 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
157 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
158 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
159 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
160 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
163 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
166 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
169 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
170 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
171 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
172 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
173 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
174 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
178 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
179 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
182 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
183 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
184 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
187 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
188 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
189 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
193 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
194 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
197 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
198 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
199 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
200 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
203 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
204 initialised value as BN_new().
205 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
207 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
210 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
211 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
212 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
213 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
214 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
215 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
216 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
217 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
218 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
219 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
220 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
221 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
222 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
223 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
224 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
226 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
227 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
228 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
229 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
232 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
233 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
234 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
235 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
236 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
237 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
238 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
239 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
240 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
243 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
244 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
245 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
246 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
247 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
248 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
249 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
252 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
253 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
254 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
255 these have been updated also.
258 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
259 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
260 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
261 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
262 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
266 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
267 structure of type "other".
270 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
271 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
272 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
273 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
274 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
275 situation in the script.
276 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
278 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
279 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
280 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
281 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
282 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
283 used as premaster secret.
284 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
286 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
287 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
288 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
290 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
291 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
293 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
294 control of the error stack.
297 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
300 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
301 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
302 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
303 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
306 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
307 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
308 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
311 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
312 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
313 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
317 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
318 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
319 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
320 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
323 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
324 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
325 the following flags are defined:
327 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
328 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
329 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
332 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
333 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
334 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
335 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
339 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
340 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
341 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
342 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
343 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
346 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
347 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
348 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
351 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
352 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
353 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
354 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
355 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
356 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
359 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
363 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
366 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
369 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
372 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
373 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
374 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
375 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
376 default implementation more easily.
379 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
383 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
384 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
387 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
388 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
389 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
390 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
392 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
393 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
394 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
398 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
399 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
403 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
404 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
405 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
406 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
407 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
409 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
411 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
412 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
413 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
417 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
418 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
419 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
420 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
421 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
422 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
423 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
424 linker additions, eg;
425 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
428 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
429 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
430 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
433 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
434 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
435 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
439 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
440 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
441 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
442 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
445 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
446 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
447 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
448 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
449 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
450 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
451 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
452 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
453 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
454 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
456 Example for using the new callback interface:
458 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
462 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
464 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
465 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
466 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
467 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
468 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
469 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
474 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
475 available to TLS with the number defined in
476 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
479 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
480 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
482 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
483 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
484 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
485 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
487 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
488 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
490 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
491 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
495 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
496 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
499 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
500 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
501 and a macro that behave like
502 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
504 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
507 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
508 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
509 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
511 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
513 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
516 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
517 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
518 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
519 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
521 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
522 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
523 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
524 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
525 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
526 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
527 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
528 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
530 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
531 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
534 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
535 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
537 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
538 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
539 files while avoiding the low level API.
541 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
542 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
543 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
544 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
546 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
547 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
548 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
549 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
550 instead of the low level API.
553 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
554 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
555 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
556 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
557 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
560 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
561 down to the template encoder.
564 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
565 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
568 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
569 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
570 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
571 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
573 *) Add ECDH engine support.
574 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
576 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
577 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
579 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
580 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
583 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
584 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
585 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
588 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
589 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
591 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
592 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
594 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
595 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
598 EC_GF2m_simple_method
602 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
603 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
604 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
605 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
606 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
607 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
609 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
610 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
613 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
614 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
615 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
616 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
617 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
618 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
619 various internal method names.)
621 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
622 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
624 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
625 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
627 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
628 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
630 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
631 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
632 methods are undefined.
634 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
635 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
637 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
638 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
639 length of the modulus.
641 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
642 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
644 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
645 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
647 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
648 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
650 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
651 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
652 used) in the following functions [macros]:
655 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
656 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
657 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
658 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
660 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
661 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
662 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
663 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
665 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
666 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
668 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
669 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
670 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
671 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
672 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
674 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
675 This applies to the following functions:
680 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
681 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
684 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
688 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
693 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
695 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
696 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
697 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
698 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
699 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
701 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
702 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
704 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
705 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
706 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
708 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
709 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
711 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
712 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
713 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
714 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
715 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
717 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
719 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
720 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
721 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
722 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
723 These control ASN1 encoding details:
724 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
725 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
726 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
727 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
728 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
729 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
730 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
732 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
736 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
737 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
738 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
740 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
741 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
742 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
743 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
750 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
751 EC_POINT_oct2point().
752 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
754 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
755 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
756 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
758 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
759 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
760 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
761 adding different types of curves.
762 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
764 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
765 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
766 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
769 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
770 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
772 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
773 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
774 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
775 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
777 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
779 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
780 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
782 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
783 library. Most notably,
784 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
785 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
786 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
787 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
788 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
789 extracted before the specific public key;
790 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
791 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
793 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
794 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
796 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
797 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
798 EC_get_builtin_curves().
799 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
801 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
802 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
803 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
805 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
806 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
807 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
808 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
809 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
810 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
814 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [XX xxx XXXX]
816 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
817 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
820 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
821 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
822 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
823 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
827 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
828 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
829 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
830 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
831 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
833 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
834 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
835 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
836 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
837 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
838 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
840 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
842 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
843 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
844 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
845 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
846 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
849 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
853 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
854 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
855 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
858 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
859 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
863 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
865 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
866 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
867 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
868 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
869 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
870 some needed definitions.
873 *) Undo Cygwin change.
876 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
877 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
878 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
879 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
882 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
884 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
885 server and client random values. Previously
886 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
887 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
889 This change has negligible security impact because:
891 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
894 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
897 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
898 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
901 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
904 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
906 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
909 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
910 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
911 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
913 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
916 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
917 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
920 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
921 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
922 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
924 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
927 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
928 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
929 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
933 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
934 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
935 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
936 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
938 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
939 has chosen to ignore this fault)
940 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
941 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
945 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
947 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
948 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
949 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
950 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
951 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
954 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
957 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
958 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
960 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
961 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
962 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
963 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
964 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
965 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
966 rather than being initialized to 1.
969 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
971 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
972 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
973 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
975 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
977 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
979 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
980 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
981 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
982 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
983 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
984 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
987 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
988 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
989 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
990 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
991 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
995 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
996 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
997 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
998 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
999 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1002 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1003 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1004 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1008 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1009 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1011 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1014 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1016 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1018 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1019 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
1021 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
1023 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1024 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1028 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1029 exiting on the first error in a request.
1032 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1033 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1037 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1038 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1039 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1040 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1042 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1043 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1046 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1047 blocks during encryption.
1050 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1051 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1052 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1053 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1057 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1058 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1059 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1060 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1061 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1065 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1067 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1068 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1069 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1070 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1073 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1074 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1075 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1076 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1077 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1079 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1080 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1081 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1082 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1083 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1084 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1085 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1086 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1087 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1090 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1091 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1092 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1093 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1096 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1097 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1100 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1102 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1103 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1104 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1105 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1106 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
1108 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1109 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1110 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1112 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1113 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1114 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1115 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1116 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1118 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1119 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1120 used by default when no-err is given.
1123 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1124 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1126 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1127 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1128 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1129 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1130 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1132 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1133 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1134 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1135 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1137 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1139 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1141 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1143 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1144 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1145 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1146 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1150 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1151 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1153 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1154 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1157 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1158 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1159 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1160 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1163 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1164 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1165 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1166 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1167 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1168 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1169 followup to PR #377.
1172 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1173 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1176 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1177 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1178 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1201 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1202 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1203 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.

1205 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part

1208 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1209 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1210 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1211 have to be made anyway).

1215 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1216 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.

1244 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1245 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1247 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1248 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1250 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1251 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1253 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1254 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1256 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1258 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1260 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1261 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1262 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1264 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1265 representations in a platform independent manner.
1266 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1268 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1269 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1270 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1272 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1274 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1276 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1279 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1283 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1284 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
1285 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1287 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1289 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1291 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1292 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1294 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1295 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1297 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1300 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1301 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1303 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1305 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1307 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1308 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1310 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1311 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1313 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1314 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1316 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1318 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1319 the 0.9.6 release series:
1321 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1322 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1324 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1326 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1329 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1330 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1332 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1333 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1335 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1336 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1337 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1338 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1340 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1341 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1342 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1344 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1345 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1346 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1347 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1349 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1350 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1351 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1354 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1355 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1356 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1357 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1358 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1359 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1360 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1361 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1364 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1365 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1366 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1369 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1370 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1371 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1372 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1373 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1375 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1376 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1378 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1379 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1382 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1383 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1384 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1385 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1386 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1387 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1390 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1391 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1392 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1395 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1396 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1399 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1400 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1401 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1402 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1403 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1404 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1405 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1408 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1409 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1410 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1411 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1412 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1413 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1416 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1417 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1418 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1419 declaration has been changed from
1422 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1423 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1424 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1425 has been changed into
1426 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1428 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1429 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1430 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1432 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1433 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1435 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1436 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1437 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1438 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1439 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1440 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1441 always load it have also been added.
1444 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1445 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1446 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1448 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1450 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1451 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1452 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1454 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1455 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1456 command line option can be used to specify an
1460 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1461 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1464 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1465 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1466 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1469 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1470 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1471 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1472 to work with the new engine framework.
1473 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1475 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1476 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1477 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1478 to work with the new engine framework.
1481 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1482 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1483 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1485 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1486 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1488 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1489 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1490 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1491 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1493 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1495 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1496 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1498 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1499 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1501 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1502 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1503 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1506 *) Add new functions
1508 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1509 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1510 These are similar to
1513 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1514 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1515 still in the error queue.
1516 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1518 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1520 default_algorithms = ALL
1521 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1524 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1527 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1530 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1531 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1532 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1533 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1535 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1536 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1538 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1539 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1541 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1542 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1545 *) New functions/macros
1547 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1548 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1549 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1550 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1552 to request calling a callback function
1554 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1555 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1557 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1558 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1559 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1560 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1561 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1562 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1563 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1564 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1565 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1566 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1568 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1569 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1572 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1573 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1574 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1575 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1576 the configuration scripts.
1578 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1579 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1580 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1582 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1583 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1585 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1586 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1587 when reusing an existing buffer.
1590 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1591 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1594 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1595 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1598 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1599 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1600 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1601 has the same effect.
1602 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1604 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1605 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1606 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1607 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1608 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1609 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1612 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1613 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1614 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1615 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1617 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1618 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1619 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1620 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1622 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1623 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1626 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1627 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1628 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1629 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1630 default), and then completely removed.
1633 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1634 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1635 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1636 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1637 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1638 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1639 particular extension is supported.
1642 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1643 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1646 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1647 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1648 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1649 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1650 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1651 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1652 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1653 requires the destination to be valid.
1655 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1656 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1659 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1660 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1661 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1664 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1665 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1667 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1668 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1669 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1670 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1671 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1672 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1673 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1674 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1675 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1676 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1677 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1678 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1679 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1680 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1681 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1682 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1683 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1684 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1685 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1689 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1692 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1693 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1694 become part of libeay.num as well.
1697 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1698 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1699 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1700 false once a handshake has been completed.
1701 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1702 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1703 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1704 client has followed the request.)
1707 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1708 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1709 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1710 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1712 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1713 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1714 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1717 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1720 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1721 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1722 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1725 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1726 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1729 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1730 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1731 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1732 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1735 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1736 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1737 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1738 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1739 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1740 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1743 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1744 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1745 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1746 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1747 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1748 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1749 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1750 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1753 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1754 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1757 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1760 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1761 md_data void pointer.
1764 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1765 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1766 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1767 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1768 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1769 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1772 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1773 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1774 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1775 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1776 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1777 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1778 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1779 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1780 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1781 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1782 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1783 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1784 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1785 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1786 rather than letting it slide.
1788 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1789 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1790 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1793 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1794 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1795 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1796 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1797 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1798 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1799 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1800 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1801 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1804 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1805 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1806 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1807 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1808 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1810 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1813 *) Add EVP test program.
1816 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1819 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1820 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1821 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1822 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1823 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1826 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1827 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1828 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1829 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1830 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1831 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1832 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1834 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1835 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1836 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1841 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1842 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1843 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1844 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1845 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1849 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1850 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1851 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1852 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1855 des_key_schedule ks;
1857 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1858 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1860 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1863 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1864 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1865 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1866 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1867 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1868 functions prevents this.
1871 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1874 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1875 correct _ecb suffix.
1878 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1879 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1880 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1881 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1882 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1885 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1888 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1889 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1890 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1891 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1893 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1894 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1896 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1897 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1898 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1899 via Richard Levitte]
1901 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1902 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1903 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1904 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1907 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1910 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
1911 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
1912 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

1922 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
1925 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1926 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1928 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1929 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1930 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1931 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1932 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1933 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1936 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1937 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1940 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1941 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1942 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1943 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1945 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1946 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1947 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1948 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1949 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1950 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1954 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1955 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1956 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1957 and interrupts/cancellations.
1960 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1961 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1964 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1965 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1966 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1968 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1969 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1973 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1974 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1975 than this minimum value is recommended.
1978 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1979 that are easily reachable.
1982 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1983 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1985 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1987 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1988 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1989 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1990 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1993 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1994 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1995 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1998 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1999 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2000 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2001 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2002 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2003 internally such as S/MIME.
2005 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2006 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2007 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2009 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2013 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2014 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2015 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2016 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2018 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2020 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2022 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2023 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2024 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2028 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2029 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2030 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2031 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2032 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2033 a window system and the like.
2036 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2037 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2040 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2041 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2042 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2043 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2044 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2045 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2046 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2047 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2048 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2052 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2053 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2057 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2058 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2059 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2060 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2061 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2062 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2063 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2064 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2067 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2068 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2069 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2070 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2071 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2072 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2073 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2074 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2075 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2076 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2077 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2078 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2079 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2080 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2081 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2082 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2083 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2086 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2087 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2088 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2089 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2090 internal engine_int.h header.
2093 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2094 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2095 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2096 modify their own ones).
2099 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2100 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2101 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2102 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2103 later on via ctrl() commands.
2104 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2105 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2106 structural references.
2107 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2108 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2109 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2110 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2111 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2112 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2113 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2114 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2115 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2116 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2117 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2118 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2121 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2122 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2123 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2124 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2125 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2126 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2127 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2128 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2131 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2132 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2135 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2136 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2139 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2140 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2141 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2142 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2143 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2144 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2145 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2148 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2149 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2150 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2151 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2152 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2154 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2155 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2159 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2161 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2162 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2163 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2165 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2166 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2168 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2169 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2170 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2172 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2173 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2175 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2176 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2178 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2180 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2181 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2182 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2185 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2186 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2189 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2190 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2191 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2192 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2193 is 40 of more characters long.
2196 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2197 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2201 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2202 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2205 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2206 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2210 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2212 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2213 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2216 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2218 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2219 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2220 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2222 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2223 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2225 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2228 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2232 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2233 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2234 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2235 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2237 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2239 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2240 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2242 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2243 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2244 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2245 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2246 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2247 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2249 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2250 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2252 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2253 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2255 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2256 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2258 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2259 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2260 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2261 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2263 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2264 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2266 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2267 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2269 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2270 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2271 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2272 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2273 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2276 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2277 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2278 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2279 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2282 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2283 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2284 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2288 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2289 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2290 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2291 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2292 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2293 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2294 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2295 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2299 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2300 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2303 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2304 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2305 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2306 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2309 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2310 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2311 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2312 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2313 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2314 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2315 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2316 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2317 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2318 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2321 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2322 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2323 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2324 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2325 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2326 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2327 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2328 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2330 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2331 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2332 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2333 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2336 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2337 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2338 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2339 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2341 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2342 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2343 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2344 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2345 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2349 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2350 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2351 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2352 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2356 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2357 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2358 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2361 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2362 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2363 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2364 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2365 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2368 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2371 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2372 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2373 option to ocsp utility.
2376 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2377 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2378 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2379 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2380 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2381 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2382 the request is nonce-less.
2385 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2386 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2387 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2390 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2391 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2392 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2395 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2396 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2397 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2398 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2399 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2402 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2403 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2407 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2408 additional certificates supplied.
2411 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2412 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2416 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2417 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2420 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2421 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2422 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2423 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2424 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2425 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2426 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2427 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2428 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2430 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2431 request to response.
2434 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2435 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2436 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2437 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2438 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2439 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2440 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2441 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2442 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2443 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2444 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2447 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2448 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2449 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2450 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2453 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2454 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2456 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2457 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2458 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2461 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2462 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2463 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2464 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2465 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2467 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2468 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2469 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2472 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2473 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2474 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2475 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2476 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2477 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2478 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2479 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2481 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2482 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2483 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2484 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2485 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2486 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2489 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2490 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2491 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2492 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2493 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2494 printout format cleaned up.
2497 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2498 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2499 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2500 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2501 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2502 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2503 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2504 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2507 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2508 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2509 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2510 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2511 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2512 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2513 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2514 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2517 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2518 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2519 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2520 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2522 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2524 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2525 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2526 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2527 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2530 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2531 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2532 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2533 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2535 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2537 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2538 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2539 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2540 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2542 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2543 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2545 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2546 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2547 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2550 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2551 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2552 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2555 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2556 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2557 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2558 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2559 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2560 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2561 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2562 functions are provided:
2564 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2565 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2566 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2567 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2569 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2570 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2571 extended allocation function is enabled.
2572 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2573 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2574 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2576 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2577 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2578 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2579 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2580 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2583 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2584 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2585 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2587 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2588 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2589 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2592 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2593 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2594 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2595 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2596 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2597 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2598 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2599 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2600 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2603 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2604 provide utility functions which an application needing
2605 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2606 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2607 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2609 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2610 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2611 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2612 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2613 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2614 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2615 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2616 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2617 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2619 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2620 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2621 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2622 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2625 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2626 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2627 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2628 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2629 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2630 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2631 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2632 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2633 will be added elsewhere.
2636 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2637 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2638 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2639 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2642 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2643 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2644 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2645 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2646 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2647 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2648 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2649 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2650 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2651 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2652 to produce the required SET OF.
2655 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2656 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2657 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2660 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2661 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2662 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2663 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2664 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2665 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2668 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2669 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2670 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2673 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2674 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2675 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2678 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2679 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2680 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2681 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2682 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2685 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2686 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2689 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2690 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2691 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2692 certifcates and CRLs.
2695 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2696 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2697 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2700 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2701 entries for variables.
2704 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2705 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2706 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2707 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2710 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2711 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2712 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2713 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2714 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2715 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2718 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2719 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2721 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2722 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2723 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2726 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2730 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2731 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2732 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2733 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2734 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2735 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2738 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2741 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2742 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2743 for now but they will eventually go away.
2746 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2747 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2748 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2749 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2750 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2751 has also been converted to the new form.
2754 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2755 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2756 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2757 for negative moduli.
2760 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2761 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2764 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2768 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2769 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2770 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2771 type-specific callbacks.
2774 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2776 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2777 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2779 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2780 in sections depending on the subject.
2783 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2787 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2788 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2789 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2790 be handled deterministically).
2791 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2793 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2794 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2795 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2798 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2801 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2802 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2803 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2804 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2805 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2808 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2809 sign of the number in question.
2811 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2813 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2814 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2815 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2816 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2817 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2820 *) New function BN_swap.
2823 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2824 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2825 results on negative inputs.
2828 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2829 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2830 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2833 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2834 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2835 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2836 and add new functions:
2845 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2849 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2851 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2852 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2854 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2855 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2856 be reduced modulo m.
2857 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2860 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2861 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2862 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2864 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2865 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2866 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2867 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2868 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2869 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2874 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2875 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2876 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2877 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2878 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2880 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2881 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2882 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2886 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2889 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2890 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2893 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2894 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2895 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2896 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2900 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2903 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2906 *) Add the following functions:
2908 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2910 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2912 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2914 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2915 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2916 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2917 libraries unless it's really needed.
2919 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2920 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2921 declarations (they differed!).
2924 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2927 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2930 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2933 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2934 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2937 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2938 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2939 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2941 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2942 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2945 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2948 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2951 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2954 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2955 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2956 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2958 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2959 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2960 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2961 different shared library filenames on each system.
2964 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2967 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2968 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2969 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2971 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2974 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2975 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2976 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2977 binary backward compatibility.
2978 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2979 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2980 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2984 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2985 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2986 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2987 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2991 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2994 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2995 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2996 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2997 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3001 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3004 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3006 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3007 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
3008 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3010 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3012 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3014 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3015 certain ASN.1 tags (CAN-2003-0851)
3018 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3020 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3022 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3023 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
3025 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3026 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3030 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3031 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3035 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3036 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3037 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3038 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3040 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3041 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3044 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3046 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3047 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3048 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3049 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3052 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3053 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3054 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3055 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3056 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3058 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3059 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3060 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3061 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3062 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3063 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3064 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3065 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3066 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3069 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3071 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3072 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3073 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3074 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3075 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
3077 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3078 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3079 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3081 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3083 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3084 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3085 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3086 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3087 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3088 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3091 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3092 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3093 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3094 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3095 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3098 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3099 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3100 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3102 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3103 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3104 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3108 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3109 being properly terminated.
3112 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3113 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3114 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3115 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3117 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3118 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3119 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3120 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3121 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3122 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3123 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3125 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3127 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3128 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3131 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3132 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3133 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3134 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3135 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3136 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3137 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3138 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3140 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3141 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3142 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3143 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3144 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3146 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3147 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3150 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3152 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3153 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3154 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3156 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3158 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3159 and get fix the header length calculation.
3160 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3161 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3164 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3165 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3166 assertions could call abort()).
3167 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3169 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3171 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3172 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3173 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3175 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3177 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3178 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3179 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3182 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3186 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3187 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3188 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3190 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3191 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3192 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3193 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3194 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3198 *) Changes in security patch:
3200 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3201 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3202 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3205 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3206 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3207 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3208 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
3209 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3211 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3213 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3215 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3216 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
3217 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3219 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3220 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
3221 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3223 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3224 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
3225 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3227 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3229 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3230 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3231 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3233 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3234 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3236 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3237 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3238 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3239 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3240 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3241 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3244 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3245 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3246 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3247 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3250 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3253 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3254 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3255 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3256 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3257 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3258 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3260 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3261 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3262 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3263 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3264 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3267 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3268 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3269 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3270 BN_generate_prime().)
3272 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3273 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3274 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3278 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3279 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3282 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3283 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3284 when using non-blocking I/O.
3285 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3287 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3288 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3290 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3291 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3294 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3295 configuration for the versions before that.
3296 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3298 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3299 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3300 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3301 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3304 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3305 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3306 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3309 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3313 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3314 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3315 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3317 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3318 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3320 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3321 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3322 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3323 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3324 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3325 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3326 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3329 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3330 using a local variable.
3331 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]

3334 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3335 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3337 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3340 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3341 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3343 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3344 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3345 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3347 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3349 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3350 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3351 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3352 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3355 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3359 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3360 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3361 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3362 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3363 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3365 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3366 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3367 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3369 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3370 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3371 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3373 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3374 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3375 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3376 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3378 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3379 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3380 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3382 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3384 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3385 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3387 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3389 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3390 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3391 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3392 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3394 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3395 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3396 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3397 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3399 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3400 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3402 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3403 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3404 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3407 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3408 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3409 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3411 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3413 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3414 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3415 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3416 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3417 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3418 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3419 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3422 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3423 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3424 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3425 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3427 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3428 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3429 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3430 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3431 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3432 the client will at least see that alert.
3435 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3439 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3440 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3441 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3443 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3444 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3445 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3446 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3449 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3450 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3451 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3453 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3454 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3455 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3456 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3457 may leak via logfiles.)
3459 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3460 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3461 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3462 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3466 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3467 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3470 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3471 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3472 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3473 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3474 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3477 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3478 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3480 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3481 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3482 followed by modular reduction.
3483 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3485 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3486 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3489 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3490 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3491 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3492 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3495 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3498 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3499 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3502 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3503 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3504 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3505 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3506 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3507 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected

3511 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3512 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3513 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3514 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3515 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3517 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3520 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3521 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3522 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3523 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3524 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3525 to allow the necessary settings.
3528 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3529 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3530 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3531 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3534 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3535 dh->length and always used
3537 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3539 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3540 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3541 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3542 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3543 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3548 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3550 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3556 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3557 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3558 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3559 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3561 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3562 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3563 always reject numbers >= n.
3566 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3567 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3568 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3569 variable) is not atomic.
3572 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3573 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3574 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3575 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3577 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3578 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3580 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3582 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3584 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3587 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3589 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3590 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3591 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3592 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3593 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3594 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3595 to traverse all of 'state'.
3597 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3598 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3599 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3601 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3602 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3604 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3605 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3606 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3607 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3608 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3609 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3610 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3611 further strengthens the PRNG.
3614 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3617 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3618 an error message in this case.
3621 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3624 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3625 positive and less than q.
3628 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3629 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3631 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3633 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3634 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3638 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3640 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3641 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3642 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3643 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3644 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3645 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3646 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3649 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3650 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3651 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3652 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3654 Both problems are now fixed.
3657 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3658 (previously it was 1024).
3661 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3662 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3665 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3668 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3669 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3670 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3673 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3674 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3675 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3676 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3677 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3678 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3679 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3680 environment variables.
3682 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3683 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3684 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3687 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3688 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3689 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3690 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3691 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3692 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3695 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3699 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3701 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3702 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3704 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3705 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3706 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3707 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3711 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3712 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3713 amount of data available.
3714 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3715 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3717 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3718 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3719 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3720 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3723 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3724 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3728 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3729 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3730 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3731 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3734 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3737 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3740 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3741 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3743 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3745 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3746 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3747 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3748 (but broken) behaviour.
3751 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3753 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3755 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3756 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3759 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3763 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3764 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3766 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3769 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3770 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3771 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3773 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3774 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3775 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3778 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3779 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3782 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3783 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3785 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3787 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3789 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3790 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3791 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3792 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3795 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3798 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3799 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3800 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3802 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3805 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3807 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3808 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3809 but the code is actually correct.
3812 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3813 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3814 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3815 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3816 and leaves the highest bit random.
3817 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3819 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3820 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3821 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3822 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3823 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3824 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3825 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3828 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3831 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3832 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3835 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3836 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3837 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3838 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3842 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3843 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3844 and break the signature.
3846 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3848 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3852 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3853 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3854 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3855 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3856 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3859 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3860 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3862 *) ./config script fixes.
3863 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3865 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3868 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3869 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3870 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3871 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3872 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3874 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3875 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3878 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3879 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3882 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3883 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3884 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3885 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3887 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3888 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3890 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3891 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3892 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3893 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3894 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3896 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3899 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3902 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3905 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3908 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3909 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3912 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3913 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3914 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3915 result of the server certificate verification.)
3918 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3919 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3920 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3924 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3925 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3926 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3927 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3928 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3929 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3930 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3931 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3934 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3935 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3936 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3937 happening the other way round.
3940 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3941 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3944 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3945 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3946 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3947 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3950 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3951 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3953 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3955 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3956 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3957 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3960 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3962 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3964 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3968 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3970 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3971 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3972 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3973 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3974 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3976 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3977 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3981 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3984 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3986 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3987 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3988 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3989 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3990 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3991 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3992 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3993 by the Finished messages.
3996 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3997 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3999 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4000 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4001 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4002 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4003 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4007 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4008 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4009 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4010 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4011 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4012 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4013 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4014 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4015 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4019 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4020 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4021 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4022 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4024 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4025 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4026 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4027 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4028 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4031 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4032 been tested well enough.
4035 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4036 it can return incorrect results.
4037 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4038 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4041 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4042 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4043 include zero length content when signing messages.
4046 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4047 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4050 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4053 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4057 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4058 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4059 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4060 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4061 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4062 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4065 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4066 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4068 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4069 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4071 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4072 random number < q in the DSA library.
4075 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4076 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4077 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4078 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4079 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4080 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4081 just makes things more complicated.)
4084 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4088 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4089 work better on such systems.
4090 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4092 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4093 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4094 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4097 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4098 if there was more than one signature.
4099 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4101 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4102 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4103 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4104 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4107 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4108 rather than always using the current time.
4111 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4112 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4113 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4114 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4115 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4116 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4118 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4119 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4121 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4123 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4124 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4125 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4126 the same hash value.
4128 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4129 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4130 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4131 with X509_STORE internally.
4133 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4134 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4136 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4137 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4138 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4139 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4140 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4141 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4142 entirely (maybe later...).
4144 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4146 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4147 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4148 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4149 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4150 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4151 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4152 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4153 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4155 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4156 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4158 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4159 to customise the verify behaviour.
4162 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4163 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4166 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4167 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4168 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4169 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4170 request is improperly encoded.
4173 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4174 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4177 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4178 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4180 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4181 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4185 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4186 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4187 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4190 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4191 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4192 BIO/fp routines also added.
4195 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4196 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4198 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4199 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4200 demos/state_machine.
4203 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4204 generation and verification.
4207 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4208 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4209 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4210 encode and decode it manually.
4213 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4215 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4217 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4218 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4219 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4220 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4222 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4223 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4224 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4225 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4226 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4229 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4232 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4233 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4234 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4236 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4237 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4238 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4239 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4240 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4241 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4242 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4243 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4245 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4246 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4248 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4250 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4251 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4252 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4256 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4257 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4258 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4259 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4263 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4265 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4268 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4269 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4270 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4271 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4272 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4273 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4274 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4275 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4276 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4277 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4278 short or long names are found.
4281 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4282 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4284 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4285 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4286 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4287 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4289 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4290 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4291 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4292 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4295 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4296 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4297 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4300 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4301 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4302 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4303 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4304 to allow the various flags to be set.
4307 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4308 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4309 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4310 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4311 dates to be checked.
4314 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4315 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4316 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4319 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4320 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4321 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4324 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4325 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4328 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4329 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4330 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4331 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4332 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4333 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4336 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4337 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4341 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4345 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4346 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4347 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4348 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4349 form signing output easier to verify.
4352 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4355 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4356 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4357 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4358 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4359 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4360 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4361 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4362 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4363 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4364 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4367 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4369 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4370 the syntax given in objects.README.
4371 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4373 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4376 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4377 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4378 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4379 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4380 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4381 consistent name changes.
4384 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4387 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4388 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4389 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4390 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4393 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4394 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4395 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4399 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4400 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4401 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4402 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4405 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4406 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4407 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4408 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4409 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4410 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4411 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4412 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4413 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4414 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4415 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4418 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4419 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4420 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4421 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4422 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4423 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4424 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4425 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4426 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4427 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4430 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4431 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4432 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4433 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4435 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4436 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4437 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4438 omit any duplicate addresses.
4441 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4442 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4445 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4446 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4447 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4448 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4449 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4452 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4454 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4455 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4456 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4457 Free => OPENSSL_free
4460 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4461 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4464 *) CygWin32 support.
4465 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4467 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4468 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4469 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4470 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4471 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4475 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4476 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4477 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4478 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4479 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4480 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4481 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4484 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4485 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4486 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4487 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4488 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4489 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4490 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4491 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4492 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4493 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4494 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4497 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4498 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4499 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4500 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4501 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4503 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4504 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4505 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4506 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4507 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4509 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4512 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4513 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4514 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4515 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4517 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4519 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4522 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4523 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4524 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4527 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4528 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4529 any installed hardware versions can.
4532 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4533 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4534 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4538 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4539 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4540 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4541 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4542 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4544 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4545 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4548 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4549 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4552 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4553 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4554 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4558 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4561 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4562 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4563 but no ssl client purpose.
4564 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4566 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4567 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4568 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4569 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4570 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4571 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4572 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4573 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4574 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4575 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4576 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4579 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4580 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4581 be obtained from the error queue.
4584 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4585 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4586 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4587 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4590 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4593 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4594 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4595 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4596 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4597 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4600 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4601 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4602 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4603 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4604 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4607 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4608 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4609 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4611 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4613 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4614 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4615 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4616 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4617 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4618 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4619 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4620 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4621 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4622 or "the configuration storage API"...
4624 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4626 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4627 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4629 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4631 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4633 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4634 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4635 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4636 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4637 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4638 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4639 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4641 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4642 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4645 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4646 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4647 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4648 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4651 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4652 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4653 them in a portable way.
4654 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4656 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4658 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4660 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4661 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4663 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4664 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4665 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4668 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4669 was larger than the MD block size.
4670 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4672 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4673 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4674 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4675 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4679 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4680 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4681 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4683 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4685 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4687 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4688 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4689 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4690 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4691 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4692 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4694 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4695 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4697 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4698 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4701 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4704 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4705 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4707 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4708 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4709 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4710 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4713 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4714 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4715 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4716 does not suppress any output.
4719 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4720 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4721 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4722 with all the associated security issues.
4724 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4725 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4726 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4727 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4728 use the value in the default purpose.
4731 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4732 and fix a memory leak.
4735 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4736 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4737 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4738 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4741 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4742 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4743 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4744 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4747 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4748 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4749 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4752 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4753 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4756 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4757 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4761 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4762 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4765 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4766 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4767 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4770 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4771 number generation fails.
4774 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4777 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4778 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4780 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4783 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4784 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4786 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4787 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4789 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4791 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4792 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4795 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4796 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4798 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4799 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4802 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4803 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4804 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4805 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4806 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4807 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4809 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4810 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4811 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4815 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4816 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4817 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4818 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4819 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4820 counter, some don't.)
4821 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4822 counters or duplicate objects.
4825 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4826 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4829 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4830 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4831 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4833 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4834 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4835 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4839 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4840 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4843 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4844 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4845 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4849 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4850 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4851 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4854 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4855 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4856 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4857 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4858 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4859 should work without changes.
4862 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4863 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4864 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4865 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4866 must be defined. E.g.,
4867 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4868 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4869 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4870 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4872 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4876 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4877 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4878 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4881 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4882 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4883 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4884 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4887 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4888 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4889 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4890 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4891 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4892 is prompted for as usual.
4895 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
4896 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
4897 autodetect the card and use it if present.
4898 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
4900 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
4901 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
4902 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
4903 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
4906 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
4909 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
4913 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
4916 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
4919 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
4923 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
4926 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
4929 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
4930 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
4933 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
4934 options to produce them.
4937 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
4938 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
4941 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
4945 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
4946 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
4947 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
4948 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
4949 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
4950 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
4951 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
4954 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
4957 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
4958 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
4959 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
4962 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
4963 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
4965 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
4966 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
4969 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
4970 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
4971 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
4975 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
4976 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4978 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4979 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4980 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4981 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4982 generation becomes much faster.
4984 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4985 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4986 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4987 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4988 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4989 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4990 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4991 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4992 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4993 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4996 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4997 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4998 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4999 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5000 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5001 trial division stage.
5004 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5008 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5011 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5014 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5015 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5016 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5020 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5021 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5022 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5025 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5026 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5027 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5028 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5030 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5031 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5034 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5037 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5038 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5039 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5040 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5043 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5044 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5045 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5048 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5049 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5050 (instead of parameters) in future.
5053 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5054 when a new cipher list is set.
5057 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5058 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5061 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5062 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5063 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5065 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5066 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5067 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5068 an error is flagged.
5070 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5071 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5072 the readability was also increased :-)
5073 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5075 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5076 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5077 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5078 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5082 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5083 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5086 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5087 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5088 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5089 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5092 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5093 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5094 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5095 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5096 because they handle more complex structures.)
5099 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5100 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5101 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5102 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5104 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5105 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5106 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5107 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5108 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5109 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5110 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5113 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5114 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5115 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5116 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5117 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5120 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5123 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5124 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5125 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5126 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5127 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5130 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5134 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5135 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5136 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5137 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5140 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5143 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5144 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5145 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5146 international characters are used.
5148 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5149 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5150 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5154 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5155 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5156 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5159 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5160 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5161 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5162 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5163 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5164 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5166 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5167 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5168 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5169 be handled by the string table functions.
5171 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5172 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5173 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5174 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5175 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5179 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5180 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5181 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5182 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5183 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5185 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5186 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5187 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5188 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5191 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5192 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5193 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5194 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5195 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5199 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5200 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5201 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5202 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5203 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5204 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5205 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5206 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5208 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5209 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5210 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5213 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5214 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5215 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5216 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5217 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5218 support to pkcs8 application.
5221 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5222 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5223 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5224 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5225 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5226 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5229 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5230 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5231 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5232 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5233 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5237 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5238 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5239 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5240 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5244 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5245 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5246 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5247 and any application specific purposes.
5249 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5250 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5251 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5252 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5253 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5254 if the certificate is self signed.
5257 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5258 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5261 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5262 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5263 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5264 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5267 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5268 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5269 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5270 Update documentation.
5273 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5274 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5275 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5276 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5277 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5280 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5282 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5284 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5285 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5286 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5287 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5288 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5289 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5290 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5291 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5292 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5293 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5295 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:

5301 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5303 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5304 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5305 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5306 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5307 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5308 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5309 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5310 request additional information:
5311 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5312 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5314 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5315 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5316 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5319 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5320 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5323 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5326 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5327 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5329 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5330 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5331 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5335 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5336 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5337 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5339 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5340 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5341 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5342 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5343 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5344 included in OpenSSL.
5347 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5348 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5349 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5350 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5351 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5352 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5355 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5359 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5360 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5361 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5362 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5363 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5367 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5371 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5372 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5373 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5374 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5375 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5376 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5377 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5378 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5379 be maintained manually.
5381 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5382 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5383 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5384 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5385 work because people forget to call this function]
5386 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5387 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5388 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5391 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5392 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5393 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5394 should be discouraged from doing it.
5397 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5398 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5399 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5400 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5401 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5402 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5405 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5406 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5407 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5409 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5410 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5411 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5413 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5414 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5415 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5416 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5417 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5418 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5420 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5421 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5422 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5424 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5425 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5428 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5429 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5430 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5431 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5434 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5437 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5438 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5439 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5440 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5441 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5442 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5443 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5444 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5445 keys so we should be OK.
5447 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5448 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5449 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5450 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5451 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5452 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5453 stay in the name of compatibility.
5455 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5456 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5457 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5459 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5460 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5461 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5462 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5463 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5464 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5468 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5469 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5470 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5471 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5472 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5473 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5474 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5475 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5476 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5477 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5478 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5479 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5480 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5483 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5486 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5487 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5488 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5489 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5490 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5491 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5492 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5493 openssl verify ss.pem
5494 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5495 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5499 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5500 (and add it to external session representation).
5501 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5502 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5503 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5504 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5505 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5506 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5508 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5510 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5511 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5512 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5513 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5515 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5516 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5517 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5520 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5521 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5522 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5526 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5527 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5528 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5530 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5531 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5532 certificate auxiliary information.
5535 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5539 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5540 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5541 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5542 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5543 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5544 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5545 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5548 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5549 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5552 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5553 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5554 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5555 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5558 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5561 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5562 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5565 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5566 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5567 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5568 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5569 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5570 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5571 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5572 using the new 'x509' options.
5574 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5575 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5576 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5577 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5581 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5582 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5583 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5584 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5585 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5588 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5589 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5590 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5591 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5592 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5593 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5594 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5595 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5596 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5597 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5600 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5601 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5602 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5603 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5604 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5605 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5606 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5609 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5610 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5611 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5612 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5613 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5614 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5615 openssl.cnf for more info.
5618 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5619 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5620 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5621 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5622 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5623 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5624 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5625 md should be large enough anyway.
5628 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5629 for handling the random seed file.
5631 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5633 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5636 x509 (when signing).
5637 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5638 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5639 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5641 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5642 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5643 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5644 that support '-rand'.
5647 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5648 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5651 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5652 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5655 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5656 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5657 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5658 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5662 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5663 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5664 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5665 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5668 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5669 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5670 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5671 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5672 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5673 print out all the purposes.
5676 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5680 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5681 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5682 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5683 single function call.
5686 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5687 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5690 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5691 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5692 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5695 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5696 when producing the local key id.
5697 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5699 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5700 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5701 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5705 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5706 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5707 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5708 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5711 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5712 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5713 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5714 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5716 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5717 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5718 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5719 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5721 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5722 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5723 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5724 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5725 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5726 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5727 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5728 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5729 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5730 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5731 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5732 trivial: move one line.
5733 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5735 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5736 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5737 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5738 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5739 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5740 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5741 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5742 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5743 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5744 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5745 with an event loop for example.
5748 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5749 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5750 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5751 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5752 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5753 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5754 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5755 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5756 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5759 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5760 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5761 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5762 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5763 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5764 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5767 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5768 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5769 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5770 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5772 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5773 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5774 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5775 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5779 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5780 (still largely untested)
5783 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5784 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5787 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5788 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5791 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5792 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5793 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5796 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5797 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5798 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5799 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5800 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5803 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5806 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5807 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5808 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5809 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5810 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5814 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5815 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5818 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5821 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5822 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5823 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5824 are otherwise ignored at present.
5827 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5828 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5829 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5830 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5831 copied until the next read.
5834 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5835 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5836 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5839 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5840 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5841 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5842 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5843 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5844 associated functions.
5847 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5848 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5849 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5850 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5851 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5852 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5853 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5854 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5855 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5859 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5860 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5861 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5862 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5865 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5866 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5867 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5868 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5869 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5873 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5874 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5878 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5879 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5880 extensions to be obtained and added.
5883 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5884 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5887 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5889 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5890 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5892 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5893 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
5895 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
5899 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
5900 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
5901 DH parameters contain its length).
5903 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
5904 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
5905 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
5906 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
5907 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
5908 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
5909 utter importance to use
5910 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5912 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5913 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
5914 attacks may become possible!
5917 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
5920 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
5921 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
5924 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
5925 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
5926 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
5930 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
5931 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
5932 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
5933 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
5934 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
5935 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
5936 private key operations.
5939 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
5942 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
5943 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
5945 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
5946 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
5947 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
5948 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
5949 the password callback is called.
5950 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
5952 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
5954 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
5955 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
5956 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
5957 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
5958 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
5959 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
5962 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
5963 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
5964 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
5965 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
5966 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
5967 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
5970 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
5973 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
5974 delete an unused file.
5977 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5978 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5979 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5980 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5983 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5984 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5985 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5989 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5990 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5991 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5993 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5994 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5995 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5996 comparison" warnings.
5997 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6000 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6001 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6002 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6005 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6006 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6008 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6009 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6011 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6012 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6013 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6015 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6016 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6017 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6018 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6019 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6021 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6023 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6024 The interface is as follows:
6025 Applications can use
6026 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6027 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6028 "off" is now the default.
6029 The library internally uses
6030 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6031 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6032 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6034 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6035 even the default) are now avoided.
6037 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6038 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6039 than just having a counter.
6041 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6043 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6047 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6048 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6049 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6050 Initial "mode" flags are:
6052 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6053 a single record has been written.
6054 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6055 retries use the same buffer location.
6056 (But all of the contents must be
6060 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6063 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6064 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6066 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6067 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6068 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6071 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6072 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6074 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6076 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6077 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6078 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6079 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6081 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6082 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6084 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6085 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6086 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6087 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6088 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6089 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6092 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6093 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6094 necessary function names.
6097 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6098 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6099 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6100 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6103 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6104 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6105 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6108 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6109 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6110 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6111 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6113 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6117 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6118 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6119 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6122 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6123 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6127 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6128 for the encoded length.
6129 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6131 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6134 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6135 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6136 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6137 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6140 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6141 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6142 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6144 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6145 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6146 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6150 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6151 to use the new extension code.
6154 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6155 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6156 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6160 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6161 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6162 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6166 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6169 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6170 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6171 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6174 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6175 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6176 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6177 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6180 *) DES library cleanups.
6183 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6184 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6185 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6186 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6187 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6191 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6192 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6195 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6196 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6197 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6198 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6199 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6200 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6201 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6202 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6203 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6206 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6207 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6208 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6209 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6210 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6211 value doesn't matter.
6214 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6218 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6219 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6220 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6221 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6223 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6226 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6227 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6228 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6230 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6231 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6233 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6236 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6239 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6242 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6246 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6248 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6250 *) Updated some demos.
6251 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6253 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6256 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6259 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6262 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6263 instead of using a fixed path.
6266 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6269 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6273 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6275 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6276 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6277 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6279 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6280 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6281 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6282 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6283 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6284 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6285 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6286 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6287 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6288 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6291 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6292 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6295 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6296 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6297 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6298 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6299 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6301 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6304 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6305 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6306 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6309 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6312 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6313 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6314 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6315 key elements as negative integers.
6318 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6319 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6322 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6324 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6325 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6326 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6329 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6330 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6331 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6332 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6333 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6336 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6339 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6340 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6341 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6342 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6344 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6345 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6346 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6348 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6349 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6350 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6351 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6352 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6353 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6354 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6355 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6356 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6358 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6359 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6360 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6361 does not influence s as it used to.
6363 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6364 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6365 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6366 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6367 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6368 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6371 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6372 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6373 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6377 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6378 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6379 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6383 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6384 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6385 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6389 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6390 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6393 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6394 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6399 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6400 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6402 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6403 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6405 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6408 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6411 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6412 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6414 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6415 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6416 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6420 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6421 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6422 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6423 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6424 now it really counts the depth.
6427 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6428 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6429 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6430 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6431 didn't match the private key).
6433 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6434 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6435 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6438 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6441 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6445 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6446 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6447 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6450 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6453 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6454 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6455 such as /usr/local/bin.
6458 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6459 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6461 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6464 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6465 extension adding in x509 utility.
6468 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6471 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6475 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6478 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6479 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6480 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6481 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6482 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6483 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6484 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6485 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6486 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6487 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6490 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6493 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6494 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6497 *) Fix some race conditions.
6500 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6501 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6504 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6507 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6508 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6509 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6510 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6512 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6513 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6515 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6516 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6517 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6519 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6520 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6522 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6525 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6526 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6528 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6531 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6532 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6534 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6535 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6538 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6539 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6542 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6543 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6546 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6547 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6550 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6551 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6554 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6555 support typesafe stack.
6558 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6559 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6561 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6562 old X509V3 handling code.
6565 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6568 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6571 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6574 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6575 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6577 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6578 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6579 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6580 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6581 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6584 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6585 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6586 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6587 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6588 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6590 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6591 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6592 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6593 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6595 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6596 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6597 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6598 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6600 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6601 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6602 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6603 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6604 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6605 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6608 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6609 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6612 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6613 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6616 *) Tweaks to Configure
6617 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6619 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6623 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6626 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6627 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6630 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6631 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6632 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6635 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6638 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6639 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6642 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6643 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6644 to library startup routines.
6647 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6648 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6649 codes along the way.
6652 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6653 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6654 objects to objects.h
6657 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6658 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6661 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6662 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6664 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6665 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6666 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6668 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6669 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6670 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6672 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6673 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6674 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6677 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6679 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6680 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6683 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6684 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6685 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6686 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6687 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6689 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6690 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6691 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6693 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6695 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6697 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6699 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6700 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6702 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6703 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6704 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6705 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6707 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6710 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6711 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6712 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6713 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6716 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6717 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6718 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6721 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6722 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6723 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6724 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6725 installed as `perl').
6726 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6728 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6729 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6731 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6732 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6733 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6734 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6735 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6738 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6741 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6742 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6743 is horrible: I feel ill....
6746 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6747 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6748 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6749 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6752 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6753 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6755 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6756 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6757 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6758 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6760 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6761 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6762 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6763 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6764 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6765 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6767 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6769 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6770 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6772 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6773 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6775 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6778 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6779 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6783 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6784 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6785 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6786 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6787 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6788 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6789 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6790 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6791 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6792 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6793 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6795 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6798 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6799 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6800 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6801 for linking it into DSOs.
6802 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6804 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6808 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6809 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6810 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6811 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6812 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6813 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6815 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6816 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6817 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6818 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6819 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6820 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6821 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6823 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6824 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6825 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6829 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6830 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6831 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6832 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6835 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6836 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6837 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6838 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6839 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6843 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6844 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6845 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6846 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6847 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6849 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6850 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6851 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6853 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6854 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6856 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6857 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6858 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6859 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6860 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6863 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6864 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6865 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6866 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6867 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6868 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6869 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6872 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6874 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6875 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6878 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6879 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6881 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6882 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6885 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6886 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6887 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6888 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6889 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6891 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6892 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6893 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
6894 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
6895 no way to reconfigure them.
6896 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
6897 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
6898 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
6899 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
6900 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
6901 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6903 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
6904 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
6905 recognized by the users.
6906 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6908 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
6909 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
6910 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
6911 already masked variable.
6912 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6914 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
6915 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6917 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
6918 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
6919 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
6920 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6922 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
6923 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
6924 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6926 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
6927 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
6928 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
6929 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
6930 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
6931 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
6932 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
6933 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
6935 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6937 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
6938 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
6939 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6941 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
6942 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
6946 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
6947 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6949 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
6950 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
6951 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
6952 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
6955 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
6958 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
6959 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6961 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
6964 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
6965 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
6968 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
6969 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
6972 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
6973 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
6974 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
6975 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
6976 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
6977 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6978 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6981 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6982 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6984 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6985 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6986 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6987 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6988 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6990 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6991 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6992 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6995 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6996 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7000 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7001 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7002 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7004 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7005 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7006 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7010 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7011 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7012 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7013 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7016 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7017 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7018 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7019 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7022 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7023 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7024 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7025 so it wasn't spotted.
7026 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7028 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7029 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7030 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7031 vectors if you have them.
7034 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7035 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7038 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7039 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7040 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7041 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7043 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7044 it will update them.
7047 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7048 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7049 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7050 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7051 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7052 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7053 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7054 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7056 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7057 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7058 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7059 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7060 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7061 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7062 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7063 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7064 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7065 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7067 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7068 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7069 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7070 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7071 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7074 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7078 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7079 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7081 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7082 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7084 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7085 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7088 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7089 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7091 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7092 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7094 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7097 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7101 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7102 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7103 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7104 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7106 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7109 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7112 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7115 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7116 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7119 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7120 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7124 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7125 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7128 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7129 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7130 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7133 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7134 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7135 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7136 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7137 properly to be processed.
7140 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7141 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7142 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7145 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7146 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7148 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7149 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7150 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7151 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7152 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7153 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7154 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7155 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7156 or delete all the .err files.
7159 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7160 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7161 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7162 to regenerate it if needed.
7163 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7164 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7166 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7167 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7169 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7170 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7171 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7172 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7173 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7176 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7177 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7179 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7180 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7182 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7183 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7184 error, but didn't set one).
7185 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7187 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7190 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7191 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7194 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7195 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7197 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7198 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7199 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7200 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7201 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7202 OID is not part of the table.
7205 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7206 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7209 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7212 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7213 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7217 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7218 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7220 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7222 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7224 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7225 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7227 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7228 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7230 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7231 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7233 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7234 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7237 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7238 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7241 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7242 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7244 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7245 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7247 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7248 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7250 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7251 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7253 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7254 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7255 unused in the certificate verification process.
7256 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7258 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7259 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7262 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7263 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7264 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7266 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7267 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7268 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7269 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7270 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7272 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7273 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7276 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7279 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7282 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7283 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7285 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7288 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7291 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7294 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7295 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7296 other error libraries.
7299 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7302 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7303 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7307 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7308 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7309 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7310 the new set of documenation files.
7311 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7313 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7314 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7315 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7316 number of arguments.
7317 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7319 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7322 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7323 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7324 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7326 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7329 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7333 unixware-2.0-pentium
7337 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7338 before they are needed.
7341 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7345 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7347 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7348 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7349 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7351 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7354 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7355 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7356 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7358 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7359 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7360 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7362 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7363 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7364 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7366 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7367 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7369 *) Updated the README file.
7370 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7372 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7373 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7374 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7376 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7377 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7378 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7380 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7381 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7382 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7383 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7384 o removed obsolete TODO file
7385 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7386 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7388 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7389 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7390 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
7391 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
7392 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
7393 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7394 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7396 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7399 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7400 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7401 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7403 [The OpenSSL Project]
7406 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7408 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7411 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7414 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7415 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7418 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7419 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7423 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7425 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7427 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7430 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7433 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7436 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7439 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7442 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7445 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7448 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7451 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7454 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7457 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7460 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7463 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7466 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7469 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7472 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7475 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7478 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7479 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7480 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7483 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7484 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7487 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7490 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7493 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7494 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7497 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7500 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7503 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7504 bytes sent in the client random.
7505 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
