o OpenSSL 0.9.6: Released on September 24th, 2000
o OpenSSL 0.9.5a: Released on April 1st, 2000
o OpenSSL 0.9.5: Released on February 28th, 2000
AVAILABLE PATCHES
- o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
-
IN PROGRESS
o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
+ OCSP
EVP cipher enhancement.
- /* Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification. */
+ Enhanced certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
NEEDS PATCH
- o non-blocking socket on AIX
- o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
- o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
+ o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
+
+ o OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
+ #include <openssl/e_os.h> in exported header files is illegal since
+ e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.
+
+ o Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
+ or an error is reported
OPEN ISSUES
+ o crypto/ex_data.c is not really thread-safe and so must be used
+ with care (e.g., extra locking where necessary, or don't call
+ CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).
+ The current API is not suitable for everything that it pretends
+ to offer.
+
o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
1. The config vs. Configure scripts
