- Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
+ Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
+
+ OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 2001)
+ and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developped in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
+
+ Change log entries are tagged as follows:
+ -) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c only
+ *) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c and 0.9.7
+ +) applies to 0.9.7 only
+
+ *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
+ with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
+ Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
+ messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
+ [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
+
+ +) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
+ bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
+ The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
+ available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
+ Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
+ for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
+ [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
+ cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
+ the number of header dependencies.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ +) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
+ correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
+ now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
+ plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
+ anyway).
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ +) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
+ specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
+ used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
+ ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
+ the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
+ to allow the necessary settings.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
+ PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
+ poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
+ which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
+ ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
+ functions prevents this.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
+ explicitely to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
+ done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
+ standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
+ dh->length and always used
+
+ BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
+
+ BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
+ specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
+ dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
+ length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
+ the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
+ dh->length.
+
+ So switch back to
+
+ BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
+
+ where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
+ otherwise.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In
+
+ RSA_eay_public_encrypt
+ RSA_eay_private_decrypt
+ RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
+ RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
+
+ (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
+ RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
+ always reject numbers >= n.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
+ to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
+ systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
+ variable) is not atomic.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
+ *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
+ a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
+ [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
+
+ +) Cleanup of EVP macros.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ +) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
+ correct _ecb suffix.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ +) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
+ revocation information is handled using the text based index
+ use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
+ requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
+ via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
+ 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
+ KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
+ 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
+
+ Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
+ and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
+
+ Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
+ [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
+ Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
+ via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
+ already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
+ values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
+ parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ -) OpenSSL 0.9.6b released [9 July 2001]
+
+ *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
+ to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
+ Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
+ PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
+ one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
+ 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
+ to traverse all of 'state'.
+
+ 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
+ during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
+ 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
+
+ 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
+ independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
+
+ The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
+ Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
+ to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
+ half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
+ assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
+ measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
+ mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
+ further strengthens the PRNG.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Speed up EVP routines.

+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
+ an error message in this case.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Added the OS2-EMX target.
+ ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
+ to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
+ to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
+ structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
+ retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
+ code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
+ positive and less than q.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
+ and with pssibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
+ applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
+ don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
+ [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
+ arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
+ Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
+ function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
+ versions of OpenSSL [engine].
+ Addapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
+ callback.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
+ dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
+ to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
+ and interrupts/cancelations.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
+ used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
+ that itself.
+ [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
+
+ *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
+ ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
+ attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix OAEP check.
+ [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
+
+ *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
+ RSA encryption was accidentily removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
+ when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
+ hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
+ SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
+ means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
+ around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
+ paper.)
+
+ Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
+ random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
+ ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
+ detect the supposedly ignored error.
+
+ Both problems are now fixed.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
+ (previously it was 1024).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
+ tidy up some unecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
+ [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
+
+ +) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
+ callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
+ kind of callback.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
+ unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
+ 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
+ than this minimum value is recommended.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
+ that are easily reachable.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
+ variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
+
+ const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
+
+ wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
+ delcare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
+ EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
+ needed for static libraries under Win32.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
+ setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
+ purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
+ structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
+ initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
+ X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
+ purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
+ internally such as S/MIME.
+
+ Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
+ trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
+ purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
+
+ Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
+ applications.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
+ are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
+ its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
+ in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
+
+ Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
+
+ Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
+
+ This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
+ CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
+ by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
+ handling.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
+ to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
+ compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
+ The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
+ section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
+ a window system and the like.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
+ parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
+ DSA routines if parameters are absent.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
+ in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
+ RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
+ caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
+ Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
+ DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
+ For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
+ environment variables.
+
+ +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
+ per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
+ ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
+ This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
+ analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
+ operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
+ fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
+ this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
+ structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
+ by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
+ ENGINE structure.
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
+ needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
+ tag cache.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
+ - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
+ about an ENGINE's available control commands.
+ - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
+ '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
+ specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
+ the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
+ openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
+ declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
+ and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
+ subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
+ depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
+ the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
+ can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
+ that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
+ result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
+ discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
+ ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
+ pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
+ support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
+ unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
+ OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
+ existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
+ control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
+ ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
+ necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
+ this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
+ internal engine_int.h header.
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
+ 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
+ should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
+ modify their own ones).
+ [Geoff]
+
+ +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
+ - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
+ to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
+ rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
+ later on via ctrl() commands.
+ - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
+ - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
+ structural references.
+ - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
+ - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
+ missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
+ all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
+ - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
+ or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
+ value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
+ and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
+ - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
+ flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
+ - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
+ ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
+ [Geoff]
+
+ *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
+ CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
+ having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
+ combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
+ Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
+ flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
+ the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegaly release the lock
+ that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
+ to the algorithm using long divison. The binary algorithm can be
+ used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
+ only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
+ roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
+ up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
+ appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
+ for moduli up to 2048 bits.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
+ versions of 'test'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ -) OpenSSL 0.9.6a released [5 Apr 2001]
+
+ *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
+
+ *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
+ the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
+ scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
+ if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
+ CygWin.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
+ could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ -) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
+ If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
+ amount of data available.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
+ [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
+
+ *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
+ (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
+ For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
+ in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
+ with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
+ and UnixWare.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
+ On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
+ Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
+ http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
+ [Ulf Moeller]
+
+ *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ -) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
+ after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
+ [Steve Henson]
+ [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
+
+ *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
+ if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
+ PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
+ (but broken) behaviour.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
+ it when found.
+ [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
+ extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
+ by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
+ file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
+ signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
+ or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
+ multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
+ and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
+ don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
+ of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
+ including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.
+ EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
+ that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
+ generator).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
+
+ EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
+ operations and provides various method functions that can also
+ operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
+
+ EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
+ EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
+
+ [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
+ implementation directly derived from source code provided by
+ Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
+
+ +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
+ crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
+
+ Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
+ based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
+
+ Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
+
+ Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
+ finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
+ than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
+ that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
+ change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
+ to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
+ field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
+ is 40 of more characters long.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
+ and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
+ pointers.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
+ did not exist.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
+ [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
+
+ +) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
+ in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
+ internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
+ might.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
+
+ Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
+ (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
+
+ ASN1 error codes
+ ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
+ ...
+ ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
+ were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
+ ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
+ ...
+ ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
+ They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
+
+ Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
+ suffices.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
+ sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
+ subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
+ 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
+ and
+ 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
+
+ Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
+ [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
+
+ *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
+ functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
+ global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
+ one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
+ "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
+ is normally done by Configure or something similar).
+
+ To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
+ in the source file (foo.c) like this:
+
+ OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
+ OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
+
+ To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
+ and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
+
+ OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
+ #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
+ OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
+ #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
+
+ The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
+ header file everywere where the defined globals are used.
+
+ The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
+ of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bt different.
+
+ The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
+ better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
+ go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
+ cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
+ lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
+ X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
+ [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
+
+ +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
+ result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
+ and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
+ problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
+ OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
+ certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
+ trust settings.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
+ responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
+ be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
+ between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
+ caused by either OCSP responder or client clock innacuracy. Instead
+ we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
+ the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
+ checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
+ ocsp utility.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
+ OID rather that just UNKOWN.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
+ X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
+ PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
+ OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
+ ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
+ passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
+ ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
+ instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
+ new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
+ be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
+ references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
+ macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
+ use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
+ is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
+ functions returning pointers to structures is not.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
+ These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
+ The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
+ the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
+ can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
+ command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
+ to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
+ [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse prprocessor conditionals
+ of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
+ '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
+ the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
+ New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
+ [Ulf Moeller]
+
+ +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
+ sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
+ with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
+ sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
+ opensslconf.h.
+ Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
+ specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
+ are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
+ macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
+ from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
+ what is available.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
+ number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
+ signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
+ CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
+ auto incremented.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
+ due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
+
+ 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
+
+ 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
+
+ 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
+ nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
+ inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
+ assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
+ Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
+ supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
+ disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
+ API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
+ not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
+ of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
+ [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
+ "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
+
+ +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
+ port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
+ option to ocsp utility.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
+ reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
+ whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
+ in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
+ just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
+ this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
+ the request is nonce-less.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
+ was empty.
+ [Steve Henson]
+ [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
- *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
+ *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
+ copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
+ but the code is actually correct.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
+ skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
+ e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
+ set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
+ utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
+ the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
+ Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
+ Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
+ (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
+ to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
+ appear to exist.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
+ additional certificates supplied.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
+ OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
+ signature against.
[Richard Levitte]
- *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
+ *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
+ Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
+ Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
+ to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
+ and leaves the highest bit random.
+ [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
+ handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
+ AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
+ for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
+ [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
+ (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
+ a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
+ (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
+ Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
+ CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
+ return NULL from CONF_get_section.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
+ [Ulf Moeller]
+
+ +) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
+ request to response.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
+ OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
+ extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
+ creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
+ OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
+ reponse and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
+ extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
+ certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
+ response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
+ (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
+ (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
+ in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
+ structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests tha public_key
+ contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
+ keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
+ is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
+ some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
+ sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
+ headers.
[Richard Levitte]
- *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
+ +) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
+ [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
+
+ +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
+ passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
+ reponse then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
+ macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
+ and break the signature.
+ [Steve Henson]
+ [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
+
+ *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
+ DH ciphersuites.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
+ to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
+ was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
+ <support@securenetterm.com>]
+
+ +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
+ routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
+ Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
+ OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
+ aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
+ compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
+ with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
+ ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
+
+ *) ./config script fixes.
+ [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
+ Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
+ effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
+ is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
+ and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
+ V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
+ <support@securenetterm.com>]
+
+ +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
+ result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
+ not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
+ and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
+ to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
+ where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
+ convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
+ OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
+ OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
+ to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
+ printout format cleaned up.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
+ in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
+ certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
+ or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
+ OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
+ usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
+ signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
+ in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
+ and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
+ verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
+ to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
+ performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
+ if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
+ a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
+ chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
+ extensions from a separate configuration file.
+ As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
+ the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
+ section to use.
+ [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
+
+ *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
+ terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
+ parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
+ by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
+ [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
+
+ +) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
+ read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
+ parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
+ still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
+ 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
+ the given serial number (according to the index file).
+ 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
+ in the index file.
+ [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
+
+ +) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
+ '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
+ so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
+ [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
+
+ +) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
+ [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
+ is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
+ certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
+ value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
+ to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
+ call failed, free the DSA structure.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
+ file name and line number information in additional arguments
+ (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
+ well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
+ realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
+ additional arguments. To register and find out the current
+ settings for extended allocation functions, the following
+ functions are provided:
+
+ CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
+ CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
+ CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
+ CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
+
+ These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
+ CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
+ extended allocation function is enabled.
+ Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
+ a conventional allocation function is enabled.
+ [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
+ These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
+ There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
+ the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
+ the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
+ (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
+ If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
+ entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
+ be queried.
+ The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
+ /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
+ when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
+ random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
+ of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
+ (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
+ defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
+ (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
+ platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
+ Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
+ For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
+ provide utility functions which an application needing
+ to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
+ response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
+ OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
+
+ OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
+ to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
+ response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
+ from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
+ information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
+ when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
+ level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
+ wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
+ extensions in the OCSP response for example.
+
+ Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
+ OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
+ generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
+ validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
+ This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
+ need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
+ to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
+ This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
+ Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
+ is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
+ clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
+ will be added elsewhere.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
+ various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
+ OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
+ can be used to send requests and parse the response.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
+ ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
+ uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
+ and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
+ standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
+ it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
+ encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
+ it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
+ software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
+ as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
+ to produce the required SET OF.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
+ OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
+ files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
+ PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
+ asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
+ NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
+ New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
+ ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
+ replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
+ the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
+ lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
+ it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
+ unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
+ to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
+ some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
+ code will still work when these eventually go away.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
+ same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
+ adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
+ flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
+ certifcates and CRLs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
+ an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
+ OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
+ Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
+ when writing a 32767 byte record.
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
+
+ *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
+ obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
+
+ (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
+ by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
+ so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
+ [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
+ "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
+
+ +) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
+ entries for variables.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
+ problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
+ to do is register a locking callback using an array for
+ storing which locks are currently held by the program.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
+ SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
+ ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
+ during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
+ Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
+ for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
+ [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ +) Move common extension printing code to new function
+ X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
+ implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
+ print routines.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
+ set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
+ is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
+ encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
+ structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
+ order did not reflect the encoded order.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
+ for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
+ for now but they will eventually go away.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
+ completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
+ encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
+ the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
+ largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
+ has also been converted to the new form.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
+ (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
+ so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
+ for negative moduli.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
+ of not touching the result's sign bit.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
+ set.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
+ macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
+ that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
+ type-specific callbacks.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ +) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
+ RFC 2712.
+ [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
+ Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
+ in sections depending on the subject.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
+ Windows.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
+ (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
+ p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
+ be handled deterministically).
+ [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
+ so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
+ avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
+ always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
+ result of the server certificate verification.)
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
+ in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
+ 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
+ SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
+ Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix SSL_peek:
+ Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
+ releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
+ implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
+ and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
+ to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
+ ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
+ A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
+ does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) New function BN_kronecker.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
+ positive unless both parameters are zero.
+ Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
+ possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
+ in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
+ sign of the number in question.
+
+ Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
+
+ The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
+ because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
+ Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
+ it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
+ BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
+ the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
+ calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
+ happening the other way round.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ +) New function BN_swap.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
+ the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
+ results on negative inputs.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
+ Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
+ I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
+ (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
+ and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
+ and add new functions:
+
+ BN_nnmod
+ BN_mod_sqr
+ BN_mod_add
+ BN_mod_add_quick
+ BN_mod_sub
+ BN_mod_sub_quick
+ BN_mod_lshift1
+ BN_mod_lshift1_quick
+ BN_mod_lshift
+ BN_mod_lshift_quick
+
+ These functions always generate non-negative results.
+
+ BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
+ such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
+
+ BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
+ BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
+ be reduced modulo m.
+ [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
+ was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
+ required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
+ of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
+ bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
+ bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
+ differing sizes.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
+ unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
+ verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
+ hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
+ or the new '-noverify' option is used.
+
+ This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
+ non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
+ line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
+ cause any problems.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
+ The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
+ (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
+ Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
+ few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
+ casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
+ time)
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
+ the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
+ shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
+ be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add the following functions:
+
+ ENGINE_load_cswift()
+ ENGINE_load_chil()
+ ENGINE_load_atalla()
+ ENGINE_load_nuron()
+ ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
+
+ That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
+ are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
+ that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
+ libraries unless it's really needed.
+
+ Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
+ Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
+ declarations (they differed!).
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
+ identity, and test if they are actually available.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
+ [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
+
+ +) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
+ sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
+ [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
+
+ +) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
+ little-endian MIPS.
+ [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
+
+ +) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
+ keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ +) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
+ previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
+ [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
+ have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
+ depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
+ different shared library filenames on each system.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ +) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
of two sections.
[Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
- *) NCONF changes.
+ +) NCONF changes.
NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
static ones.
[Richard Levitte]
- *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
+ +) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
this case.
[Steve Henson]
- *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
+ +) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.

X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
set.
