It is now only compiled + in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and + by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to + standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output + but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original + approach. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations + that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has + also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly + map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts. + This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of + lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally + be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool' + by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count). + (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md', + where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state' + is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be + well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a + chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half + of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains + all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result + in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending + on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when + the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain(); + otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes + can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later. + [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke] + + *) Major EVP API cipher revision. + Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher + parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable + key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and + setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters. + + Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length + ciphers. + + Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every* + cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the + cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and + for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num. + + New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack. + + Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms + of macros. + + By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from + all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys + differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT + flags. + + Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a + value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail + any installed hardware versions can. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if + this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated + protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version + number. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag; + i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise. + Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with + rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB). + [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra] + + *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS + key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding. + [Steve Henson] + *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
