### Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ * Deprecated obsolete EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_dh_kdf_ukm() and
+ EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_ecdh_kdf_ukm() functions. They are not needed
+ and require returning octet ptr parameters from providers that
+ would like to support them which complicates provider implementations.
- * The -crypt option to the passwd command line tool has been removed.
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * The RAND_METHOD APIs have been deprecated. The functions deprecated are:
+ RAND_OpenSSL(), RAND_get_rand_method(), RAND_set_rand_engine() and
+ RAND_set_rand_method(). Provider based random number generators should
+ be used instead via EVP_RAND(3).
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+ * The SRP APIs have been deprecated. The old APIs do not work via providers,
+ and there is no EVP interface to them. Unfortunately there is no replacement
+ for these APIs at this time.
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * Add a compile time option to prevent the caching of provider fetched
+ algorithms. This is enabled by including the no-cached-fetch option
+ at configuration time.
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+
+ * The openssl speed command does not use low-level API calls anymore. This
+ implies some of the performance numbers might not be fully comparable
+ with the previous releases due to higher overhead. This applies
+ particularly to measuring performance on smaller data chunks.
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Combining the Configure options no-ec and no-dh no longer disables TLSv1.3.
+ Typically if OpenSSL has no EC or DH algorithms then it cannot support
+ connections with TLSv1.3. However OpenSSL now supports "pluggable" groups
+ through providers. Therefore third party providers may supply group
+ implementations even where there are no built-in ones. Attempting to create
+ TLS connections in such a build without also disabling TLSv1.3 at run time or
+ using third party provider groups may result in handshake failures. TLSv1.3
+ can be disabled at compile time using the "no-tls1_3" Configure option.
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * The undocumented function X509_certificate_type() has been deprecated;
+ applications can use X509_get0_pubkey() and X509_get0_signature() to
+ get the same information.
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
+ * Deprecated the obsolete BN_pseudo_rand() and BN_pseudo_rand_range()
+ functions. They are identical to BN_rand() and BN_rand_range()
+ respectively.
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Removed RSA padding mode for SSLv23 (which was only used for
+ SSLv2). This includes the functions RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() and
+ RSA_padding_add_SSLv23() and the `-ssl` option in the deprecated
+ `rsautl` command.
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
+ * Deprecated the obsolete X9.31 RSA key generation related functions
+ BN_X931_generate_Xpq(), BN_X931_derive_prime_ex(), and
+ BN_X931_generate_prime_ex().
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * The default key generation method for the regular 2-prime RSA keys was
+ changed to the FIPS 186-4 B.3.6 method (Generation of Probable Primes with
+ Conditions Based on Auxiliary Probable Primes). This method is slower
+ than the original method.
+
+ *Shane Lontis*
+
+ * Deprecated the BN_is_prime_ex() and BN_is_prime_fasttest_ex() functions.
+ They are replaced with the BN_check_prime() function that avoids possible
+ misuse and always uses at least 64 rounds of the Miller-Rabin
+ primality test. At least 64 rounds of the Miller-Rabin test are now also
+ used for all prime generation, including RSA key generation.
+ This increases key generation time, especially for larger keys.
+
+ *Kurt Roeckx*
+
+ * Deprecated EVP_MD_CTX_set_update_fn() and EVP_MD_CTX_update_fn()
+ as they are not useful with non-deprecated functions.
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
+ * Deprecated the type OCSP_REQ_CTX and the functions OCSP_REQ_CTX_new(),
+ OCSP_REQ_CTX_free(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_http(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(),
+ OCSP_REQ_CTX_i2d(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_nbio(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_nbio_d2i(),
+ OCSP_REQ_CTX_get0_mem_bio() and OCSP_set_max_response_length(). These
+ were used to collect all necessary data to form a HTTP request, and to
+ perform the HTTP transfer with that request. With OpenSSL 3.0, the
+ type is OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX, and the deprecated functions are replaced
+ with OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_new(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_free(),
+ OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set_request_line(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(),
+ OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_i2d(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_nbio(),
+ OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_sendreq_d2i(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_get0_mem_bio() and
+ OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set_max_response_length().
+
+ *Rich Salz and Richard Levitte*
+
+ * Deprecated `OCSP_parse_url()`, which is replaced with `OSSL_HTTP_parse_url`.
+
+ *David von Oheimb*
+
+ * Validation of SM2 keys has been separated from the validation of regular EC
+ keys, allowing to improve the SM2 validation process to reject loaded private
+ keys that are not conforming to the SM2 ISO standard.
+ In particular, a private scalar `k` outside the range `1 <= k < n-1` is now
+ correctly rejected.
+
+ *Nicola Tuveri*
+
+ * Behavior of the `pkey` app is changed, when using the `-check` or `-pubcheck`
+ switches: a validation failure triggers an early exit, returning a failure
+ exit status to the parent process.
+
+ *Nicola Tuveri*
+
+ * Changed behavior of SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() and SSL_set_ciphersuites()
+ to ignore unknown ciphers.
+
+ *Otto Hollmann*
+
+ * The `-cipher-commands` and `-digest-commands` options
+ of the command line utility `list` have been deprecated.
+ Instead use the `-cipher-algorithms` and `-digest-algorithms` options.
+
+ *Dmitry Belyavskiy*
+
+ * All of the low level EC_KEY functions have been deprecated including:
+
+ EC_KEY_OpenSSL, EC_KEY_get_default_method, EC_KEY_set_default_method,
+ EC_KEY_get_method, EC_KEY_set_method, EC_KEY_new_method
+ EC_KEY_METHOD_new, EC_KEY_METHOD_free, EC_KEY_METHOD_set_init,
+ EC_KEY_METHOD_set_keygen, EC_KEY_METHOD_set_compute_key,
+ EC_KEY_METHOD_set_sign, EC_KEY_METHOD_set_verify,
+ EC_KEY_METHOD_get_init, EC_KEY_METHOD_get_keygen,
+ EC_KEY_METHOD_get_compute_key, EC_KEY_METHOD_get_sign,
+ EC_KEY_METHOD_get_verify,
+ EC_KEY_new_ex, EC_KEY_new, EC_KEY_get_flags, EC_KEY_set_flags,
+ EC_KEY_clear_flags, EC_KEY_decoded_from_explicit_params,
+ EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name_ex, EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name, EC_KEY_free,
+ EC_KEY_copy, EC_KEY_dup, EC_KEY_up_ref, EC_KEY_get0_engine,
+ EC_KEY_get0_group, EC_KEY_set_group, EC_KEY_get0_private_key,
+ EC_KEY_set_private_key, EC_KEY_get0_public_key, EC_KEY_set_public_key,
+ EC_KEY_get_enc_flags, EC_KEY_set_enc_flags, EC_KEY_get_conv_form,
+ EC_KEY_set_conv_form, EC_KEY_set_ex_data, EC_KEY_get_ex_data,
+ EC_KEY_set_asn1_flag, EC_KEY_generate_key, EC_KEY_check_key, EC_KEY_can_sign,
+ EC_KEY_set_public_key_affine_coordinates, EC_KEY_key2buf, EC_KEY_oct2key,
+ EC_KEY_oct2priv, EC_KEY_priv2oct and EC_KEY_priv2buf.
+ Applications that need to implement an EC_KEY_METHOD need to consider
+ implementation of the functionality in a special provider.
+ For replacement of the functions manipulating the EC_KEY objects
+ see the EVP_PKEY-EC(7) manual page.
+
+ Additionally functions that read and write EC_KEY objects such as
+ o2i_ECPublicKey, i2o_ECPublicKey, ECParameters_print_fp, EC_KEY_print_fp,
+ d2i_ECPKParameters, d2i_ECParameters, d2i_ECPrivateKey, d2i_ECPrivateKey_bio,
+ d2i_ECPrivateKey_fp, d2i_EC_PUBKEY, d2i_EC_PUBKEY_bio, d2i_EC_PUBKEY_fp,
+ i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters, i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPrivateKey_bio,
+ i2d_ECPrivateKey_fp, i2d_EC_PUBKEY, i2d_EC_PUBKEY_bio and i2d_EC_PUBKEY_fp
+ have also been deprecated. Applications should instead use the
+ OSSL_DECODER and OSSL_ENCODER APIs to read and write EC files.
+
+ Finally functions that assign or obtain EC_KEY objects from an EVP_PKEY such as
+ EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY, EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY, EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY and
+ EVP_PKEY_set1_EC_KEY are also deprecated. Applications should instead either
+ read or write an EVP_PKEY directly using the OSSL_DECODER and OSSL_ENCODER
+ APIs. Or load an EVP_PKEY directly from EC data using EVP_PKEY_fromdata().
+
+ *Shane Lontis, Paul Dale, Richard Levitte, and Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Deprecated all the libcrypto and libssl error string loading
+ functions: ERR_load_ASN1_strings(), ERR_load_ASYNC_strings(),
+ ERR_load_BIO_strings(), ERR_load_BN_strings(), ERR_load_BUF_strings(),
+ ERR_load_CMS_strings(), ERR_load_COMP_strings(), ERR_load_CONF_strings(),
+ ERR_load_CRYPTO_strings(), ERR_load_CT_strings(), ERR_load_DH_strings(),
+ ERR_load_DSA_strings(), ERR_load_EC_strings(), ERR_load_ENGINE_strings(),
+ ERR_load_ERR_strings(), ERR_load_EVP_strings(), ERR_load_KDF_strings(),
+ ERR_load_OBJ_strings(), ERR_load_OCSP_strings(), ERR_load_PEM_strings(),
+ ERR_load_PKCS12_strings(), ERR_load_PKCS7_strings(), ERR_load_RAND_strings(),
+ ERR_load_RSA_strings(), ERR_load_OSSL_STORE_strings(), ERR_load_TS_strings(),
+ ERR_load_UI_strings(), ERR_load_X509_strings(), ERR_load_X509V3_strings().
+
+ Calling these functions is not necessary since OpenSSL 1.1.0, as OpenSSL
+ now loads error strings automatically.
+
+ *Richard Levitte*
+
+ * The functions SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback, as
+ well as the macros SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh() and SSL_set_tmp_dh() have been
+ deprecated. These are used to set the Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters that
+ are to be used by servers requiring ephemeral DH keys. Instead applications
+ should consider using the built-in DH parameters that are available by
+ calling SSL_CTX_set_dh_auto() or SSL_set_dh_auto(). If custom parameters are
+ necessary then applications can use the alternative functions
+ SSL_CTX_set0_tmp_dh_pkey() and SSL_set0_tmp_dh_pkey(). There is no direct
+ replacement for the "callback" functions. The callback was originally useful
+ in order to have different parameters for export and non-export ciphersuites.
+ Export ciphersuites are no longer supported by OpenSSL. Use of the callback
+ functions should be replaced by one of the other methods described above.
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * The `-crypt` option to the `passwd` command line tool has been removed.
*Paul Dale*
+ * The -C option to the `x509`, `dhparam`, `dsaparam`, and `ecparam` commands
+ were removed.
+
+ *Rich Salz*
+
* Add support for AES Key Wrap inverse ciphers to the EVP layer.
The algorithms are:
"AES-128-WRAP-INV", "AES-192-WRAP-INV", "AES-256-WRAP-INV",
*Richard Levitte*
- * Deprecated EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp() & introduced
- EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_rsa_keygen_pubexp(), which is now preferred.
+ * Deprecated `EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp()` and introduced
+ `EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_rsa_keygen_pubexp()`, which is now preferred.
*Jeremy Walch*
implemented by EVP_RAND and EVP_RAND_CTX. The main reason is that the
RAND_DRBG API is a mixture of 'front end' and 'back end' API calls
and some of its API calls are rather low-level. This holds in particular
- for the callback mechanism (RAND_DRBG_set_callbacks()).
+ for the callback mechanism (`RAND_DRBG_set_callbacks()`).

and DTLS.
SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version (e.g.
- TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
+ `TLSv1_server_method()`) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions would result in an
error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX instances are subject to
limits in configuration files in command-line options.
* Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped
on renegotiation.
- *Tomas Mraz*
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
- * Dropped interactive mode from the 'openssl' program. From now on,
- the `openssl` command without arguments is equivalent to `openssl
- help`.
+ * Dropped interactive mode from the `openssl` program. From now on,

*Richard Levitte*
- * Renamed EVP_PKEY_cmp() to EVP_PKEY_eq() and
- EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters() to EVP_PKEY_parameters_eq().
+ * Renamed `EVP_PKEY_cmp()` to `EVP_PKEY_eq()` and
+ `EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters()` to `EVP_PKEY_parameters_eq()`.
While the old function names have been retained for backward compatibility
they should not be used in new developments
because their return values are confusing: Unlike other `_cmp()` functions

reduced. This results in SSL 3, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS 1.0 no longer
working at the default security level of 1 and instead requires security
level 0. The security level can be changed either using the cipher string

* X509 certificates signed using SHA1 are no longer allowed at security
level 1 and above.
In TLS/SSL the default security level is 1. It can be set either

OpenSSL 1.1.1

-### Changes between 1.1.1h and 1.1.1i [xx XXX xxxx]
+### Changes between 1.1.1j and 1.1.1k [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+### Changes between 1.1.1i and 1.1.1j [16 Feb 2021]
+
+ * Fixed the X509_issuer_and_serial_hash() function. It attempts to
+ create a unique hash value based on the issuer and serial number data
+ contained within an X509 certificate. However it was failing to correctly
+ handle any errors that may occur while parsing the issuer field (which might
+ occur if the issuer field is maliciously constructed). This may subsequently
+ result in a NULL pointer deref and a crash leading to a potential denial of
+ service attack.
+ ([CVE-2021-23841])
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * Fixed the RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() function and the RSA_SSLV23_PADDING
+ padding mode to correctly check for rollback attacks. This is considered a
+ bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1 because it does not support SSLv2. In 1.0.2 this is
+ CVE-2021-23839.
- *
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ Fixed the EVP_CipherUpdate, EVP_EncryptUpdate and EVP_DecryptUpdate
+ functions. Previously they could overflow the output length argument in some
+ cases where the input length is close to the maximum permissable length for
+ an integer on the platform. In such cases the return value from the function
+ call would be 1 (indicating success), but the output length value would be
+ negative. This could cause applications to behave incorrectly or crash.
+ ([CVE-2021-23840])
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * Fixed SRP_Calc_client_key so that it runs in constant time. The previous
+ implementation called BN_mod_exp without setting BN_FLG_CONSTTIME. This
+ could be exploited in a side channel attack to recover the password. Since
+ the attack is local host only this is outside of the current OpenSSL
+ threat model and therefore no CVE is assigned.
+
+ Thanks to Mohammed Sabt and Daniel De Almeida Braga for reporting this
+ issue.
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+### Changes between 1.1.1h and 1.1.1i [8 Dec 2020]
+
+ * Fixed NULL pointer deref in the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function
+ This function could crash if both GENERAL_NAMEs contain an EDIPARTYNAME.
+ If an attacker can control both items being compared then this could lead
+ to a possible denial of service attack. OpenSSL itself uses the
+ GENERAL_NAME_cmp function for two purposes:
+ 1) Comparing CRL distribution point names between an available CRL and a
+ CRL distribution point embedded in an X509 certificate
+ 2) When verifying that a timestamp response token signer matches the
+ timestamp authority name (exposed via the API functions
+ TS_RESP_verify_response and TS_RESP_verify_token)
+ ([CVE-2020-1971])
+
