(Note that the attack is impractical against + SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking + means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is + around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98 + paper.) + + Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a + random 'decryption result') did not work properly because + ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would + detect the supposedly ignored error. + + Both problems are now fixed. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096 + (previously it was 1024). + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also + tidy up some unecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()'). + [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara ] + + +) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind + callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this + kind of callback. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings + unless some valid trust or reject settings are present. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with + 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes + than this minimum value is recommended. + [Lutz Jaenicke] + + +) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics + that are easily reachable. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global + variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as: + + const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it; + + wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to + delcare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option + EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly + needed for static libraries under Win32. + [Steve Henson] + + +) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle + setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and + purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE + structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is + initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the + X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom + purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX + internally such as S/MIME. + + Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and + trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE + purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default. + + Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server + applications. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s) + are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and + its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found + in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error. + + Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure. + + Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this. + + This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple + CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just + by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension + handling. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed + to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward + compatibility functions using this new API are provided). + The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code + section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in + a window system and the like. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd" + in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set. + RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has + caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME. + Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a + DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set. + For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require + environment variables. + + +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a + per-structure level rather than having to store it globally. + [Geoff] + + +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by + ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY. + This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template, + analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this + operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the + fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in + this case have no functional references and the return value is the single + structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned + by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing + ENGINE structure. + [Geoff] + + *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing + parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the + DSA routines if parameters are absent. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this + needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the + tag cache. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include; + - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information + about an ENGINE's available control commands. + - executing control commands from command line arguments using the + '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is + specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for + the individual commands are colon-separated, for example; + openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so + [Geoff] + + +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now + declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions, + and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A + subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable" + depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through + the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this + can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is + that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean + result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some + discoverable commands may only be for direct use through + ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function + pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to + support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be + unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any + OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the + existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow + control over shared-library paths without source code alterations. + [Geoff] + + +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their + ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being + necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction, + this also allows the implementations to compile without using the + internal engine_int.h header. + [Geoff] + + +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a + 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD + should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only + modify their own ones). + [Geoff] + + +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code. + - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files + to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables + rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values + later on via ctrl() commands. + - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code. + - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release + structural references. + - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures. + - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added + missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates + all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state). + - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method + or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set + value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway + and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code. + - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for + flags from engine_int.h to engine.h. + - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(), + ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter. + [Geoff] + + *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by + CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids + having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a + combination of a flag and a thread ID variable. + Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the + flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying + the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegaly release the lock + that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock). + [Bodo Moeller] + +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition to the algorithm using long divison. The binary algorithm can be used only if the modulus is odd.
