OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
+ [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
+
+ *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
+ [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
+ form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
+ even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
+ is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
+ be used to rebuild symbolic links.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
+ traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
+ include an implicit MD5 dependency.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
+ committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
+ [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
+
+ *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
+ in an ENGINE errors can occur.
+ [Steve Henson]
*) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
[Ben Laurie]
*) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.

- Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
+
+ *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
+ underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
+ zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
+ [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
+
+ *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
+ checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
+ appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
+ [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
+
+ *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
+ prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
+ a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
+ unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
+ level.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
+ to handle some structures.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
+ for a '\n'
+ [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
+
+ *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
+ [Matthieu Herrb]
+
+ *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support NumericString type for name components.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
+ compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
+ chosen compiler.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
+
+ *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
+ (CVE-2008-5077).
+ [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
+
+ *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
+ multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
+ obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
+ [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
+
+ *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
+ [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
+
+ *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
+ JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
+ s_client and s_server.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
+ [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
*) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
