OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
+ [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
+ control of the error stack.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
+ to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
+ HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
+ NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
+ pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
+ for a function to pass data back to the caller.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
+ works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
+ a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
+ a memory area.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
+ return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
+ found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
+ searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
+ takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
+ the following flags are defined:
+
+ OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
+ This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
+ element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
+ number.
+
+ OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
+ This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
+ element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
+ if there are more than one element where the comparing function
+ returns zero.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
+ in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
+ CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
+ as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
+ this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
+ against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
+ request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
+ [Richard Levitte]
*) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
[Richard Levitte]
- *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
- flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
- data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
- [Steve Henson]
-
*) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
differing sizes.
[Richard Levitte]
- Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [xx XXX 2003]
+ Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [xx XXX 2003]
+
+ *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
+ blocks during encryption.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
+ flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
+ data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
+ This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
+ certain size.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
+ output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
+ PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
+ Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
+ of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
+ parser.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
*) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
*) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
[Richard Levitte]
+ Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [xx XXX 2003]
+
+ *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
+ when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
+
+ *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
+ Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
+ a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
+ in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
+ to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
+ RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
+ They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
+ [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
+ seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
+ an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
+ is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
+ by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
+ having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
+ (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
+ avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
+ between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
+ [Bodo Moeller]

Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
*) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
