OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) New "unified" build system
+
+ The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
+ platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
+
+ This system builds supports building in a differnt directory tree
+ than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
+ or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
+
+ The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
+ small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
+ information for each directory with source to compile, and a
+ template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
+ descrip.mms.tmpl.
+
+ We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
+ OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
+ except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
+ OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
+ "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
+
+ *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
+ support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
+ modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
+ which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
+ It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
+ BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
+ The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
+ have been adapted accordingly.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
+ the leading 0-byte.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
+ compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
+ by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
+ using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) The signature of the session callback configured with
+ SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
+ was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
+ 'unsigned char*'.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
+ RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
+ DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
+ MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
+ BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
+ IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
+ RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
+ [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
+ [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
+ Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
+ produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
+ crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
+ Text::Template.
+
+ Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
+ Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
+ configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
+ table %config), the target data that comes from the target
+ configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
+ %target).
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
+ --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
+ straightforward and less interdependent.
+
+ --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
+ where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
+ going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
+
+ --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
+ location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
+ managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
+ installed.
+ If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
+ values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
+ be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
+ The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
+
+ Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
+ installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
+ to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
+ See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
+ support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
+ is present).
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
+ configuring.
+ [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
+
+ *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
+ create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
+ before trying to build now.*
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
+ has changed.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
+ *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
+
+ Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
+ the application's responsibility. The application provides
+ the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
+ used to authenticate the peer.
+
+ The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
+ example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
+ trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
+ of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
+ based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
+ [Viktor Dukhovni]
+
+ *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
+ continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
+ However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
+ source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
+ the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
+ or the 1.1.0 releases.
+
+ In environments in which all applications have been ported to
+ not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
+ should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
+ support for the deprecated features from the library and
+ unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
+ Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
+ argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
+ the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
+ version.
+
+ As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
+ they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
+ accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
+ compile with later releases.
+
+ The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
+ 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
+ versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
+ so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
+ of just the undeprecated features of either release.
+ [Viktor Dukhovni]
+
+ *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
+ It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
+ SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
+ MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
+ protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
+ SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
+ removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
+ client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
+ and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
+ now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
+ ECDSA_SIG format.
+
+ Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
+ include the ec.h header file instead.
+ [Steve Henson]
*) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
[Kurt Roeckx]
+ *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
+ opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
+ were added:
+
+ HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
+ void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
+
+ For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
+ destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
+ EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
+
+ Additional changes:
+ 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
+ HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
+ EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
+ an already created structure.
+ 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
+ destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
+ EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
+ for deprecated builds.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
*) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
*) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
- exclude it using the list of supported ciphers.
+ exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
+ "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
[Kurt Roeckx]
*) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
*) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
[Rich Salz]
- *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron and sureware.
- [Matt Caswell]
+ *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
+ and sureware.
+ [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
*) New ASN.1 embed macro.
[Richard Levitte]
+ *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
+ are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
+ Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
+ and others were changed. All are now documented.
+ [Rich Salz]
+
*) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
return an error
[Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
*) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
[Rich Salz]
+ *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
+ sha256
+ [Rich Salz]
+
*) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
[Matt Caswell]
*) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
- at https://www.openssl.org/docs/misc/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
+ at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.

whose return value is often ignored.
[Steve Henson]
+ Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
+ *) DH small subgroups
+
+ Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
+ primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
+ generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
+ support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
+ application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
+ not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
+ DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
+ handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
+ this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
+ reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
+
+ OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
+ TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
+ reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
+ would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
+ applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
+
+ The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
+ available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
+ only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
+ ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
+
+ Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
+ default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
+ (CVE-2016-0701)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
+
+ A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
+ the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
+ been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
+ SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
+ and Sebastian Schinzel.
+ (CVE-2015-3197)
+ [Viktor Dukhovni]
+
Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
*) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
*) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
- alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
+ alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
utility.
