- Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
+ Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
+
+ *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
+
+ Add applications 'openssl ecdsaparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
+ (these are variants of 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
+
+ ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
+ library. Most notably,
+ - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
+ - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
+ - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
+ d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
+ them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
+ extracted before the specific public key.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de]
+
+ *) Add reference counting for EC_GROUP objects.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de]
+
+ *) Include some named elliptic curves. These can be obtained from
+ the new functions
+ EC_GROUP_new_by_nid()
+ EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
+ Also add a 'nid' field to EC_GROUP objects, which can be accessed
+ via
+ EC_GROUP_set_nid()
+ EC_GROUP_get_nid()
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2002]
- OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 2001)
- and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developped in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
+ OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c/0.9.6d (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001,
+ 9 July 2001, 21 Dec 2001 and xx XXX 2002) and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were
+ developed in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
Change log entries are tagged as follows:
- -) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c only
- *) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c and 0.9.7
+ -) applies to 0.9.6a ... 0.9.6d only
+ *) applies to 0.9.6a ... 0.9.6d and 0.9.7
+) applies to 0.9.7 only
+ *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
+ configuration for the versions before that.
+ [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
+ check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
+ the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
+ <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
+ is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
+ flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
+ Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
+ The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
+ to work with the new engine framework.
+ [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
+ Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
+ The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
+ to work with the new engine framework.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
+ value is 0.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
+ make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
+ [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
+ [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
+ Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
+ implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
+ handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
+ FORMAT_IISSGC.
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
+ [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
+ [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
+
+ +) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
+ BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
+ ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ +) Add new functions
+ ERR_peek_last_error
+ ERR_peek_last_error_line
+ ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
+ These are similar to
+ ERR_peek_error
+ ERR_peek_error_line
+ ERR_peek_error_line_data,
+ but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
+ still in the error queue.
+ [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
+ like:
+ default_algorithms = ALL
+ default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
+ ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
+ variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
+ received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
+ invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
+ function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
+ place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
+ session cache.
+
+ To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
+ using a local variable.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
+ if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
+ [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) New experimental application configuration code.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
+ ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
+
+ +) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
+ symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
+ the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
+ [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
+ type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
+ [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
+
+ -) OpenSSL 0.9.6c released [21 dec 2001]
+
+ +) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
+ [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
+
+ *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
+ <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
+ worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
+ 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
+ present.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
+ OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
+ Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
+ incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
+ [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Add option to output public keys in req command.
+ [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
+
+ *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
+ returns early because it has nothing to do.
+ [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
+
+ *) [In 0.9.6c-engine and 0.9.7 release:]
+ Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
+ [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
+
+ -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
+ Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
+ (Use engine 'keyclient')
+ [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
+ is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
+ rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
+ modules).
+ [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
+
+ +) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
+ (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
+ Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
+ from 0.9.7.
+ [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
+
+ -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
+ Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
+ Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
+ [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
+
+ -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
+ Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
+ Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
+ [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
+
+ *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
+ [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
+
+ +) New functions/macros
+
+ SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
+ SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
+ SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
+ SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
+
+ to request calling a callback function
+
+ void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
+ const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
+
+ whenever a protocol message has been completely received
+ (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
+ protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
+ the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
+ TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
+ the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
+ specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
+ 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
+ SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
+ SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
+
+ 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
+ to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
+ messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
+ variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
+ soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
+ openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
+ This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
+ the configuration scripts.
+
+ NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
+ backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
+ ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
+ [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
+
+ +) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
+ additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
+ when reusing an existing buffer.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
+ instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
+ appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
+ become invalid.
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
+
+ +) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
+ This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
+ runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ +) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
+ of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
+ extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
+ has the same effect.
+ [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
+
+ *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
+ faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
+ not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
+ simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
+ TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
+ messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
+ strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
+ with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
+ but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
+ des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_*.
+
+ All this is done because there are increasing clashes with libdes
+ and other DES libraries that are currently used by other projects.
+ The old libdes interface (including crypt()) is provided if
+ <openssl/des_old.h> is included. For now, this automatically
+ happens in <openssl/des.h> unless OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT is
+ defined. Note that crypt() is no longer declared in <openssl/des.h>.
+
+ NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
+ authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
+ time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
+ will be completely removed.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
+ never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
+ one of the SSL handshake functions.
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
+
+ +) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
+ If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
+ rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
+ handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
+ by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
+ X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
+ particular extension is supported.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
+ (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
+ smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
+ ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
+ the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
+ the client will at least see that alert.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
+ to retain compatibility with existing code.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
+ compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
+ not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
+ it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
+ EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
+ EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
+ initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
+ requires the destination to be valid.
+
+ Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
+ EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
+ so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
+ instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
+ correctly.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
+ [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
+
+ +) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
+ reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
+ (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
+ of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
+ support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
+ can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
+ implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
+ as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
+ API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
+ were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
+ reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
+ deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
+ RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
+ dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
+ functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
+ they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
+ BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
+ 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
+ ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
+ the new code.
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ +) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
+ and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
+ become part of libeay.num as well.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
+ client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
+ [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
+
+ +) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
+ renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
+ or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
+ false once a handshake has been completed.
+ (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
+ sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
+ place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
+ client has followed the request.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
+ By default, clients may request session resumption even during
+ renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
+ session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
+ should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
+ cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
+ must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
+ HelloRequest.
+
+ Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
+ before just sending a HelloRequest.
+ [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
+
+ *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
+ reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
+ verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
+ are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
+ may leak via logfiles.)
+
+ Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
+ because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
+ and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
+ failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
+ the legal range.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ +) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ +) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
+ settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
+ "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ +) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
+ (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
+ (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
*) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
