- Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
+ passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
+ CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
+ and serial number. Check and proces CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
+ certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
+ an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
+ CRL functionality in future.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
+ policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
+ and URI types are currently supported.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
+ than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
+ replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
+ mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
+ either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
+ mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
+ can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
+ as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
+
+ Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
+ CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
+ either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
+
+ Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
+ to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
+ to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
+ ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
+
+ (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
+ CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
+ OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
+ application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
+ was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
+ have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
+ intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
+ case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
+ of &errno.)
+ [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
+ simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
+ the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
+ TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
+ ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
+ RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
+ [Nick Mathewson]
+
+ *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
+ STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
+ on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
+ support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
+ encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
+ RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
+ content types and variants.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
+ files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
+ The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
+ files from the associated perl scripts.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
+ Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
+ [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
+
+ *) s390x assembler pack.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
+ "family."
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
+ draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
+ official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
+ IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
+ enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
+ to use. For example, specify an option
+
+ -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
+
+ to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
+ assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
+ and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
+ Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
+ interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
+ be using the same extension number for other purposes.
+
+ SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
+ opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
+ an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
+ return non-zero for success.
+
+ To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
+ by using
+
+ SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
+ SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
+
+ where
+
+ int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
+ void *arg;
+
+ Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
+ expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
+ Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
+ SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
+ be provided to the callback function). The callback function
+ has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
+ PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
+ input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
+ if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
+
+ Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
+ will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
+ see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
+ available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
+ provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
+ length of the client's opaque PRF input.
+
+ Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
+ a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
+ previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
+ handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
+ SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
+ for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
+
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
+ MAC.
+
+ [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
+
+ *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
+ RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
+ SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
+ supported.
+
+ If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
+ support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
+ SSL_SESSION.
+
+ The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
+ protection in servers so again support should be possible
+ with no application modification.
+
+ If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
+ SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
+
+ Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
+ or server extensions to be examined.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
+ OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
+ [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
*) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
[Nils Larsch]
*) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
- when OPENSSL_NO_FCAST is set: some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject
- their use. Safestack is reimplemented using inline functions: tests show
- that these calls are typically optimized away by compilers so they have
- no additional overhead. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.

[Steve Henson]
- *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
- for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
- that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
- it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
- thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
- of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
- memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
- thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
-
- void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
- unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
- unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
-
- we now have additional functions
-
- void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
- void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
- void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
-
- also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
- CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
- callback is &errno.
- [Bodo Moeller]
-
*) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
*) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
[NTT]
- Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
+ [Huang Ying]
+
+ *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Logica.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
+ keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
+ Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Logica.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
+
+ *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
+ handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
+ Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
+ [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
+
+ *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
+ a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
+ [Joe Orton]
+
+ *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
+
+ Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
+ older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
+
+ *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
+
+ The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
+ have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
+ Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
+ of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
+ The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
+ 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
+ before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
+ the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
+ invalid read after the end of 'db').
+ [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
+
+ *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
+ TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
+ values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
+ sets may exist with different names.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
+ This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
+ a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
+ successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
+ for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
+ behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
+ registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
+ 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
+ time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
+ implementation.
+ [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
+
+ *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
+ mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
+ existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
+ [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>, Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
+ uncompresses any data passed through it.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
+ RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
+ sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
+ X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
+ data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
+ from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
+ once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
+ data.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
+ to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
+ [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
+
+ *) Netware support:
+
+ - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
+ - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
+ - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
+ - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
+ - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
+ - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
+ netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
+ - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
+ platform
+ - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
+ - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
+ - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
+ - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
+ - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
+ - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
+ [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
+
+ *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
+ A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
+ OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
+ and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
+ to s_client and s_server.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
+
+ *) Fix various bugs:
+ + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
+ + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
+ + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
+ + Fix ia64 assembler code
+ [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
+
+ *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
+ OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
+ RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
+ Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
+ pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
+ server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
+ not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
+ This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
+ (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
+ [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
+ Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
+ RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
+ SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
+ supported.
+
+ If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
+ support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
+ SSL_SESSION.
+
+ The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
+ protection in servers so again support should be possible
+ with no application modification.
+
+ If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
+ SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
+
+ Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
+ or server extensions to be examined.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
+ extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
+ have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
+ additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
+ stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
+ SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
+ server_name extension.
+
+ New functions (subject to change):
+
+ SSL_get_servername()
+ SSL_get_servername_type()
+ SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
+
+ New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
+
+ SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
+ - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
+ SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
+ - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
+ SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
+
+ openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
+
+ openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
+ '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
+ testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
+ and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
+ negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
+ default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
+ option.
+
+ [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
*) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
(which previously caused an internal error).
