+ compilation flags.
+ [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
+
+ *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
+ in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
+ [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
+
+ *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
+ [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
+
+ *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
+ can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
+ server.
+
+ Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
+ Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
+ preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
+ [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
+ ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
+ by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
+ http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
+
+ Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
+ flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
+ [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
+
+ *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
+ this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
+ [Steve Henson]
*) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
-
- To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x10 for the test
- server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x10
-
+
+ To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
+ server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
+
For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
effect.
WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
+
[Steve Henson]
*) Add callbacks supporting generation and retrieval of supplemental
MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
[Steve Henson]
- *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
- [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
-
*) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
*) Make openssl verify return errors.
[Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
- *) Fix OCSP checking.
- [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
-
- *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
- from CRLDP extension in certificates.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
- verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
- of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
- HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
- CRLs using the OCSP API.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New functions to set lookup_crls callback and to retrieve
- X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
- Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
- [Steve Henson]
-
*) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
[Steve Henson]
- *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
- functions. Add manual page.
- [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
-
- *) New experimental SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework
- for application configuration using configuration files or command lines.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
- certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
- a certificate.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
- received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
- summary of the connection parameters.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
- of connection parameters.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
- client to OpenSSL.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
- of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
- only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
- strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
- algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
- by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
- certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
- comparison.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
- preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
- signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
- use the certificate.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
- possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
- the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
- verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
- to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
- an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
- to test if a chain is correctly configured.
-
- Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
- store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
-
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
- mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
- hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
- request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
- types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
- supported signature algorithms.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
- is required by client or server. An application can decide which
- certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
- supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
- This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
- certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
- certificate and specify the whole chain.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
- the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
- in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
- to have similar checks in it.
-
- Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
- This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
- certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
- extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
- with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
- shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
- and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
- shared signature algorithms.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
- for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
- to support them.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
- from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
- it couldn't be removed.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Initial SSL tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
- message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
- "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
- tracing.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
- OID NID.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
- certificates.
- [Steve Henson]
-
*) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
failures.
security.
[Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
- *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_diff to find the difference in days
- and seconds between two tm structures. This will be used to provide
- additional functionality for ASN1_TIME.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
- trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
- [Steve Henson]
-
- *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
- OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
- intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
- setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
- [Steve Henson]
-
*) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
parameters by name.
[Steve Henson]
whose return value is often ignored.
[Steve Henson]
- Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
+ structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
+ to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
+
+ Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
+ TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
+ less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
+ is at least 512 bytes long.
+
+ [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
+ structure.
+ [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
+ avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
+ Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
+ several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
+ is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
+ 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
+ [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
+
+ *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
+ difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
