OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
+ (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
+ haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
+ its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
+ *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
+ aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
+ internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
+ OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
+ the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
+ these have been updated also.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
+ into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
+ New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
+ digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
+ digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
+ functions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
+ structure of type "other".
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
+ sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
+ modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
+ table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
+ re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
+ situation in the script.
+ [Ralf S. Engelschall]
+
+ *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
+ draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
+ SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
+ representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
+ larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
+ used as premaster secret.
+ [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
+
+ *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
+ curve secp160r1 to the tests.
+ [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
+
+ *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
+ [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
+ control of the error stack.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
+ to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
+ HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
+ NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
+ pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
+ for a function to pass data back to the caller.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
+ works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
+ a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
+ a memory area.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
+ return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
+ found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
+ searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
+ [Richard Levitte]
*) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
if there are more than one element where the comparing function
returns zero.
+ [Richard Levitte]
*) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
[Richard Levitte]
- *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
- flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
- data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
- [Steve Henson]
-
*) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
differing sizes.
[Richard Levitte]
- Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [xx XXX 2003]
+ Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [xx XXX XXXX]
+ *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
+
+ *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
+
+ Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
+ invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
+
+ Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
+
+ If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
+ certificate signature with the NULL public key.
+
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
+ exiting on the first error in a request.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
+ if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
+ specifications.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
+ extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
+ but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
+
+ *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
+ when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
+ blocks during encryption.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
+ flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
+ data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
+ This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
+ certain size.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
+ output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
+ PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
+ Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
+ of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
+ parser.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
*) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
+ [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
+ OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
+
*) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
*) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
[Richard Levitte]
+ Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
+
+ *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
+
+ Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
+ invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
+
+ If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
+ certificate signature with the NULL public key.
