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
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
