OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
+ and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
+ now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
+ ECDSA_SIG format.
+
+ Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
+ include the ec.h header file instead.
+
+ [Steve Henson]
*) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
[Kurt Roeckx]
+ *) Make EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD and HMAC_CTX opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the
+ following constructors and destructors were added:
+
+ HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
+ void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
+
+ For EVP_MD, a complete API to create, fill and destroy such
+ methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for
+ documentation.
+
+ Additional changes:
+ 1) HMAC_CTX_cleanup() and EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() were removed,
+ HMAC_CTX_init() and EVP_MD_CTX_init() should be called instead
+ to reinitialise and already created structure. Also,
+ HMAC_CTX_init() and EVP_MD_CTX_init() now return 0 for failure
+ and 1 for success (they previously had the return type void).
+ 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
+ destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
+ EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
+ for deprecated builds.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
*) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
whose return value is often ignored.
[Steve Henson]
+ Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
+
+ *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
+
+ There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
+ procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
+ against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
+ perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
+ feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
+ deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
+ of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
+ likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
+ additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
+ private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
+ key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
+ default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
+ (CVE-2015-3193)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
+
+ The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
+ dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
+ algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
+ routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
+ used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
+ DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
+ vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
+ authentication.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
+ (CVE-2015-3194)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
+
+ When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
+ memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
+ application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
+ affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
+ libFuzzer.
+ (CVE-2015-3195)
+ [Stephen Henson]
+
+ *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
+ This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
+ though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
+ legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
+ return an error
+ [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
