Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
+ ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
+ the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
+ should make sure they are passing it correctly.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
+ dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
+ and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
+ indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
+ default implementation more easily.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
+ in config files.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
*) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
[Richard Levitte]
cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
- This is done with a new flag PKCS7_PARTSIGN. When this flag is set
+ This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
SMIME_write_PKCS7().
[Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
*) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
-TODO: more general interface (return x coordinate, not its hash)
-TODO: bug: pad x with leading zeros if necessary
[Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
*) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [xx XXX 2003]
- *)
+ *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
+ Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
+ a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
+ in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
+ to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
+ RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
+ They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
+ [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
+ seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
+ an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
+ is no point in blinding anyway).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+yet to be integrated into this CVS branch:
+- Geoff's ENGINE_set_default() fix
+
+ *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
+ the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
+ [Ulf Moeller]
