5 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
8 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
9 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
12 *) Make EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD and HMAC_CTX opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the
13 following constructors and destructors were added:
15 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
16 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
18 For EVP_MD, a complete API to create, fill and destroy such
19 methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for
23 1) HMAC_CTX_cleanup() and EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() were removed,
24 HMAC_CTX_init() and EVP_MD_CTX_init() should be called instead
25 to reinitialise and already created structure. Also,
26 HMAC_CTX_init() and EVP_MD_CTX_init() now return 0 for failure
27 and 1 for success (they previously had the return type void).
28 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
29 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
30 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
31 for deprecated builds.
34 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
35 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
36 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
37 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
38 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
39 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
40 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
43 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
44 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
45 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers.
48 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
49 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
52 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
53 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
56 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
57 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
58 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
59 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
60 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
61 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
62 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
66 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
67 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
68 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
71 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
74 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron and sureware.
77 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
79 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
80 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
88 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
89 set a mandatory field to NULL.
91 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
92 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
93 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
97 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
100 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
101 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
102 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
103 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
106 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
107 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
108 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
109 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
112 *) Fix no-stdio build.
113 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
114 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
116 *) New testing framework
117 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
118 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
119 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
120 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
121 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
122 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
124 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
126 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
127 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
131 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
133 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
135 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
136 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
138 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
139 original RSA_PSK patch.
142 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
143 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
144 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
145 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
148 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
149 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
152 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
153 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
154 hasn't been working properly for a while.
157 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
158 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
159 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
160 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
164 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
165 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
166 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
167 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
170 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
171 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
172 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
173 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
174 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
175 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
178 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
179 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
180 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
181 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
182 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
183 header file has been removed.
186 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
187 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
190 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
191 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
192 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
194 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
198 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
201 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
204 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
205 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
206 initial patch which was a great help during development.
209 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
210 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
211 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
212 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
215 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
216 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
217 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
218 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
219 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
220 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
223 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
224 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
225 at https://www.openssl.org/docs/misc/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
226 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
229 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
230 compatible client hello.
233 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
234 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
235 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
237 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
240 *) Removed old DES API.
243 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
249 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
254 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
257 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
258 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
259 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
260 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
261 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
262 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
263 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
264 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
265 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
266 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
267 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
270 *) Cleaned up dead code
271 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
274 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
275 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
276 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
279 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
280 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
281 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
284 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
285 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
286 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
288 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
289 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
290 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
292 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
294 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
296 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
297 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
298 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
300 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
301 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
303 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
304 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
307 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
308 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
309 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
310 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
312 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
313 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
314 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
315 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
317 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
318 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
319 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
321 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
322 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
325 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
327 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
328 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
330 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
331 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
333 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
336 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
340 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
341 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
342 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
343 algorithms and include tests cases.
346 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
350 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
351 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
354 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
355 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
357 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
358 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
361 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
362 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
366 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
367 sign or verify all in one operation.
370 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
371 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
372 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
375 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
378 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
381 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
382 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
383 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
384 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
385 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
388 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
392 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
393 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
394 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
397 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
398 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
401 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
404 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
405 POST to handle HMAC cases.
408 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
409 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
412 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
413 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
414 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
417 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
418 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
419 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
420 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
421 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
422 requested amount of entropy.
425 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
426 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
429 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
430 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
431 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
435 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
436 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
437 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
440 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
441 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
442 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
443 will never use XTS mode.
446 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
447 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
448 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
449 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
450 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
451 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
454 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
455 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
456 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
457 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
460 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
461 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
462 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
465 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
468 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
471 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
472 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
475 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
476 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
479 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
480 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
483 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
484 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
485 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
486 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
487 and rename any affected symbols.
490 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
491 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
494 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
495 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
496 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
499 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
502 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
503 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
504 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
507 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
508 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
511 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
512 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
513 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
514 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
515 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
516 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
520 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
521 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
522 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
523 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
524 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
525 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
526 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
527 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
530 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
531 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
534 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
536 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
537 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
539 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
540 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
541 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
542 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
543 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
544 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
546 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
547 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
548 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
550 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
552 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
556 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
557 Add CMAC pkey methods.
560 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
561 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
562 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
565 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
566 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
567 multi-process servers.
570 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
571 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
572 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
573 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
574 RAND_METHOD structure.
577 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
578 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
579 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
580 whose return value is often ignored.
583 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
585 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
587 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
588 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
589 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
590 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
591 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
592 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
593 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
594 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
595 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
596 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
597 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
598 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
600 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
604 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
606 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
607 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
608 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
609 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
610 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
611 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
612 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
615 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
619 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
621 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
622 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
623 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
624 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
626 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
631 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
632 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
633 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
634 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
637 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
639 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
641 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
643 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
645 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
646 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
647 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
648 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
649 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
650 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
652 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
656 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
658 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
659 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
663 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
665 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
667 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
668 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
671 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
672 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
673 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
674 client authentication enabled.
676 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
680 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
682 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
683 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
684 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
687 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
688 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
689 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
690 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
691 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
694 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
695 independently by Hanno Böck.
699 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
701 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
702 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
703 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
705 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
706 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
707 servers are not affected.
709 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
713 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
715 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
716 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
717 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
719 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
723 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
725 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
726 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
727 a double free of the ticket data.
731 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
732 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
733 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
736 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
738 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
740 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
741 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
742 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
744 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
747 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
749 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
751 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
752 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
753 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
754 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
755 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
756 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
757 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
758 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
760 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
764 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
766 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
767 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
768 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
769 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
770 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
771 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
772 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
773 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
776 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
780 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
782 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
783 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
784 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
785 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
786 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
787 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
791 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
793 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
794 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
795 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
796 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
797 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
798 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
799 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
801 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
805 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
807 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
808 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
809 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
811 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
812 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
813 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
818 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
820 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
821 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
822 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
824 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
825 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
826 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
828 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
832 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
834 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
835 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
836 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
838 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
839 (OpenSSL development team).
843 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
845 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
846 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
847 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
851 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
853 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
854 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
855 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
856 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
857 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
858 SSL_client_methodv23)
859 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
860 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
862 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
863 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
864 output may be predictable.
866 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
867 succeed on an unpatched platform:
869 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
873 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
875 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
876 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
877 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
878 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
879 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
880 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
882 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
887 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
889 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
890 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
892 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
896 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
899 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
901 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
902 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
903 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
904 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
905 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
906 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
909 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
910 (other platforms pending).
911 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
913 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
914 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
917 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
918 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
919 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
922 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
923 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
924 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
925 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
928 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
929 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
931 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
932 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
933 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
934 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
935 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
937 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
940 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
941 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
942 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
943 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
945 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
947 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
949 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
950 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
951 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
954 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
957 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
958 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
959 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
962 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
963 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
966 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
967 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
970 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
971 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
972 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
973 algorithms and include tests cases.
976 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
978 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
980 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
981 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
984 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
985 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
986 summary of the connection parameters.
989 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
990 of connection parameters.
993 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
994 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
996 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
997 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1000 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1003 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1004 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1007 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1008 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1011 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1015 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1016 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1017 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1020 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1023 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1024 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1027 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1028 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1029 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1033 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1034 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1037 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1041 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1045 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1046 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1047 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1048 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1051 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1052 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1055 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1056 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1057 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1061 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1062 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1063 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1064 use the certificate.
1067 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1070 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1071 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1072 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1073 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1074 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1075 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1076 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1078 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1079 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1083 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1084 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1085 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1088 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1089 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1090 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1091 supported signature algorithms.
1094 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1097 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1098 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1099 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1100 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1101 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1102 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1103 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1106 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1107 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1108 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1109 to have similar checks in it.
1111 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1112 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1113 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1114 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1115 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1118 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1119 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1120 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1121 shared signature algorithms.
1124 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1125 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1129 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1130 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1131 it couldn't be removed.
1134 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1135 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1138 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1139 functions. Add manual page.
1140 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1142 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1143 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1147 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1148 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1150 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1151 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1152 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1153 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1157 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1158 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1161 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1162 platform support for Linux and Android.
1165 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1168 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1169 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1170 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1171 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1172 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1175 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1176 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1177 the new parameter format automatically.
1180 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1181 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1184 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1187 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1188 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1189 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1190 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1191 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1194 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1195 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1196 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1197 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1198 to set list of supported curves.
1201 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1202 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1203 to print out received values.
1206 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1207 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1208 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1211 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1212 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1215 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1216 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1219 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1223 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1225 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1226 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1227 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1229 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1231 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1232 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1234 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1236 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1237 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1238 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1239 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1243 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1244 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1245 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1246 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1247 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1248 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1252 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1253 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1254 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1255 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1259 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1262 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1263 reporting this issue.
1267 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1268 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1269 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1270 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1271 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1272 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1276 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1277 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1278 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1279 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1280 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1281 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1282 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1287 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1288 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1290 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1291 and can vary with the CTX.
1294 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1296 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1297 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1298 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1299 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1300 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1302 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1304 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1305 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1307 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1309 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1310 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1311 errors for some broken certificates.
1313 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1315 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1317 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1318 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1320 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1321 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1322 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1323 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1325 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1326 of the OpenSSL core team.
1331 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1332 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1333 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1334 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1335 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1336 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1337 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1338 the OpenSSL core team.
1342 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1343 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1344 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1345 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1346 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1348 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1349 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1350 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1353 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1354 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1355 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1356 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1357 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1359 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1360 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1361 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1364 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1366 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1368 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1369 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1370 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1371 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1372 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1373 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1374 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1376 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1380 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1382 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1383 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1384 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1385 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1386 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1391 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1393 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1394 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1395 configured to send them.
1397 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1399 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1400 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1401 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1403 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1405 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1407 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1408 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1409 DigestInfo structures.
1411 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1415 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1417 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1418 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1419 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1421 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1422 Group for discovering this issue.
1426 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1427 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1428 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1429 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1430 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1432 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1433 researching this issue.
1437 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1438 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1439 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1440 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1442 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1447 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1448 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1449 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1453 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1454 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1455 Denial of Service attack.
1456 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1460 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1461 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1462 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1463 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1468 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1469 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1470 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1472 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1477 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1478 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1479 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1480 Denial of Service attack.
1482 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1483 discovering and researching this issue.
1487 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1488 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1489 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1490 output to the attacker.
1492 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1494 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1496 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1497 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1498 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1501 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1503 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1504 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1505 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1507 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1508 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1509 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1511 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1512 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1515 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1517 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1519 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1520 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1521 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1522 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1524 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1525 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1527 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1528 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1530 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1531 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1532 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1534 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1536 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1538 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1539 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
1540 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1542 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1543 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1545 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1547 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1548 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1551 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1552 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1553 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1554 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1556 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1557 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1558 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1559 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1561 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1562 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1563 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1565 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1567 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1568 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1569 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1570 is at least 512 bytes long.
1572 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1574 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1576 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1577 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1578 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1581 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1582 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1583 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1586 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1587 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1588 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1589 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1590 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1591 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1592 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1594 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1596 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1597 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1598 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1600 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1602 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1604 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1605 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1606 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1608 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1609 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1610 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1611 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1613 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1615 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1616 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1617 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1618 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1619 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1623 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1624 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1627 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1628 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1630 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1631 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1632 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1633 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1634 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1636 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1639 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1643 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1645 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1646 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1648 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1649 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1653 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1654 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1657 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1661 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1663 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1664 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1665 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1666 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1667 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1668 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1669 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1670 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1671 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1672 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1675 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1676 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1677 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1678 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1679 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1680 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1684 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1686 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1687 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1688 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1690 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1691 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1693 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1695 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1698 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1699 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1701 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1702 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1703 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1704 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1705 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1706 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1707 Most broken servers should now work.
1708 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1709 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1712 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1715 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1717 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1718 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1721 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1722 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1723 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1724 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1725 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1728 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1729 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1730 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
1731 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1732 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1735 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1736 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1738 *) Add support for SCTP.
1739 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1741 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1742 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1744 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1746 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1747 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1748 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1749 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1750 - s390x: z196 support;
1751 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1755 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1756 (removal of unnecessary code)
1757 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1759 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1762 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1765 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1766 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1767 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1769 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1771 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1772 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1773 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1774 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1775 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1777 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1778 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1779 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1781 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1782 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1783 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1785 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1786 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1788 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1790 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1791 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1792 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1795 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1796 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1800 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1801 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1802 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1805 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1806 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1807 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1808 the appropriate parameters.
1811 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1812 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1813 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1814 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1815 against a number of sample certificates.
1818 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
1819 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
1821 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
1822 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
1824 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
1825 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
1829 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
1833 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
1834 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
1835 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
1836 password based CMS).
1839 *) Session-handling fixes:
1840 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
1841 but also support Session Tickets.
1842 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
1843 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1844 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1845 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1846 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1847 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1849 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1852 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1854 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1857 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1858 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1859 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1860 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
1861 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1864 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1865 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1868 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1869 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1870 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1873 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1874 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
1875 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
1876 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1879 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1880 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1881 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1884 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1885 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1887 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1890 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1891 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1894 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1897 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1898 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1901 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1902 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1905 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1908 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1909 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1910 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1913 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1916 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1919 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1920 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1923 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1924 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1925 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1928 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1931 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1935 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1936 FIPS modules versions.
1939 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
1940 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
1941 until after the certificate request message is received.
1944 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
1945 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
1946 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
1947 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
1950 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
1951 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
1952 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
1953 support yet and no support for client certificates.
1956 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
1957 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
1958 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
1959 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
1960 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
1961 and version checking.
1964 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
1965 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
1966 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
1967 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
1971 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1973 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
1976 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
1977 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
1978 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1980 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
1981 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
1982 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
1985 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
1986 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1988 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1989 a few changes are required:
1991 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1992 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1993 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1994 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1995 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1998 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2000 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2001 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2002 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2003 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2004 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2005 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2006 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2007 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2008 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2011 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2012 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2013 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2016 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2018 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2019 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2020 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2021 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2024 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2026 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2027 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2028 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2029 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2030 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2031 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2032 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2033 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2034 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2035 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2036 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2037 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2038 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2040 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2042 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2044 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2045 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2046 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2047 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2049 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2050 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2052 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2053 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2054 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2055 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2057 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2058 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2060 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2061 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2063 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2064 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2066 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2067 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2068 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2070 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2071 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2072 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2074 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2075 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2076 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2077 the last update always remained unused).
2078 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2080 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2081 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2083 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2085 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2086 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2087 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2089 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2090 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2091 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2093 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2096 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2097 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2098 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2101 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2102 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2104 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2106 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2108 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2110 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2111 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2113 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2114 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2118 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2120 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2121 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2122 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2125 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2126 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2127 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2130 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2132 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2133 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2134 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2137 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2141 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2143 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2145 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2147 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2149 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2150 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2151 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2154 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2157 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2158 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2159 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2161 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2162 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2163 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2166 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2167 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2170 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2171 some responders need this.
2174 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2176 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2178 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2179 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2180 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2183 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2186 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2187 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2188 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2189 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2190 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2191 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2192 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2193 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2196 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2197 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2198 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2199 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2201 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2202 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2204 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2208 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2209 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2210 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2211 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2212 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2213 attempting to work them out.
2216 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2217 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2218 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2219 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2222 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2223 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2224 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2225 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2226 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2229 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2230 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2237 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2239 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2243 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2244 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2246 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2247 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2249 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2250 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2251 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2252 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2253 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2256 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2257 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2258 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2261 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2262 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2265 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2266 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2268 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2269 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2272 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2275 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2276 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2277 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2281 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2282 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2283 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2284 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2285 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2286 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2289 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2290 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2292 This work was sponsored by Google.
2295 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2296 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2297 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2298 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2299 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2300 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2301 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2304 This work was sponsored by Google.
2307 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2309 This work was sponsored by Google.
2312 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2313 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2314 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2315 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2317 This work was sponsored by Google.
2320 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2321 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2322 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2323 CRL functionality in future.
2325 This work was sponsored by Google.
2328 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2330 This work was sponsored by Google.
2333 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2334 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2336 This work was sponsored by Google.
2339 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2340 and URI types are currently supported.
2342 This work was sponsored by Google.
2345 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2346 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2347 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2348 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2349 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2350 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2351 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2352 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2354 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2355 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2356 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2358 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2359 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2360 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2361 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2363 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2364 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2365 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2366 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2367 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2368 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2369 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2370 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2372 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2374 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2375 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2376 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2378 This work was sponsored by Google.
2381 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2384 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2385 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2386 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2389 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2390 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2393 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2394 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2397 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2398 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2399 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2400 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2401 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2402 content types and variants.
2405 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2408 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2409 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2410 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2411 files from the associated perl scripts.
2414 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2415 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2416 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2418 *) s390x assembler pack.
2421 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2425 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2426 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2427 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2428 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2429 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2430 to use. For example, specify an option
2432 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2434 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2435 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2436 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2437 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2438 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2439 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2441 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2442 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2443 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2444 return non-zero for success.
2446 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2449 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2450 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2454 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2457 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2458 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2459 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2460 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2461 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2462 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2463 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2464 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2465 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2467 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2468 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2469 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2470 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2471 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2472 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2474 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2475 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2476 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2477 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2478 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2479 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2483 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2486 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2488 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2489 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2490 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2493 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2494 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2497 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2498 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2499 with no application modification.
2501 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2502 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2504 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2505 or server extensions to be examined.
2507 This work was sponsored by Google.
2510 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2511 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2512 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2514 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2515 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2516 ciphersuite support.
2517 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2519 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2520 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2521 to output in BER and PEM format.
2524 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2525 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2526 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2527 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2528 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2531 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2532 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2533 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2537 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2538 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2539 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2540 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2541 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2542 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2543 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2544 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2547 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2548 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2549 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2550 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2552 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2553 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2554 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2558 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2559 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2560 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2561 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2562 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2563 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2564 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2565 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2566 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2568 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2569 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2570 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2571 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2572 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2573 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2574 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2575 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2576 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2577 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2578 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2581 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2582 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2583 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2585 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2586 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2590 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2591 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2592 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2595 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2596 it yet and it is largely untested.
2599 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2602 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2603 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2604 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2607 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2610 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2611 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2612 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2613 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2616 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2617 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2618 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2619 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2620 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2623 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2624 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2627 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2628 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2629 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2630 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2633 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2634 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2635 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2636 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2639 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2640 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2643 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2644 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2645 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2646 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2649 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2650 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2651 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2654 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2658 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2659 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2662 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2663 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2664 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2668 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2669 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2670 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2673 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2674 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2675 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2676 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2679 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2680 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2681 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2682 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2683 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2684 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2687 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2688 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2689 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2690 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2691 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2693 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2694 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2695 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2696 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2697 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2700 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2701 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2702 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2703 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2705 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2706 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2707 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2708 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2709 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2715 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2716 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2720 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2721 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2724 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2725 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2728 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2729 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2730 functional reference processing.
2733 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2734 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2738 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2739 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2740 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2743 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2744 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2745 application to support multiple signers.
2748 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2752 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2753 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2754 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2755 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2756 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2759 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2763 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2764 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2765 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2766 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2770 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2771 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2772 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2773 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
2774 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2775 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2776 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2777 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2780 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2781 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2782 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2783 between digests and public key types.
2786 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2787 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2788 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2789 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2792 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2793 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2797 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2800 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2804 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2805 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2806 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2807 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2812 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2814 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2816 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2818 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2819 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2820 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2821 functionality for RSA.
2824 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2825 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2826 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2829 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2830 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2833 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2834 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2835 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2838 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2839 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2842 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2843 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2846 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2847 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2851 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2852 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2853 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2857 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2858 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2859 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2860 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2861 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2862 of public and private key structures.
2865 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2866 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2869 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2870 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2871 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2874 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2878 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2879 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2880 SSL_get_psk_identity
2881 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2883 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2885 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2886 and response verification functionality.
2887 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2889 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2890 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2891 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2892 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2893 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2894 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2895 server_name extension.
2897 New functions (subject to change):
2899 SSL_get_servername()
2900 SSL_get_servername_type()
2903 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2905 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2906 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2907 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2908 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2909 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2911 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2913 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2914 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2915 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2916 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2917 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
2918 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2921 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2923 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2926 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2927 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2928 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2929 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2930 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2933 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2934 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
2938 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
2939 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
2940 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
2941 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
2944 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
2945 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
2946 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
2947 using the maximum available value.
2950 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
2951 in addition to the text details.
2954 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2955 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2956 handle several customised structures at all.
2959 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2960 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2961 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2964 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2967 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2968 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2969 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2972 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2973 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2974 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2977 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2978 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2982 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2985 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2988 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2990 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2991 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2992 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2993 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2994 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2995 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2996 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2997 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2999 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3000 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3001 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3003 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3005 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3006 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3008 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3009 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3012 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3013 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3014 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3017 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3018 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3019 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3020 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3021 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3022 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3025 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3026 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3027 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3030 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3031 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3032 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3033 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3034 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3035 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3039 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3040 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3043 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3044 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3045 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3048 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3051 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3052 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3053 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3054 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3055 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3056 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3057 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3058 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3059 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3062 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3063 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3064 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3067 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3068 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3071 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3072 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3073 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3074 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3075 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3076 know what you are doing.
3077 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3079 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3080 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3081 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3082 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3083 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3084 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3088 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3089 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3090 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3092 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3094 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3095 warnings in other configurations.
3098 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3099 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3100 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3102 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3104 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3105 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3106 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3108 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3109 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3110 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3111 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3114 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3118 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3119 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3121 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3123 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3124 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3125 other than a simple chain.
3126 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3128 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3129 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3130 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3131 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3134 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3135 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3136 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3137 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3138 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3139 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3140 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3141 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3142 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3144 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3145 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3146 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3147 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3148 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3149 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3151 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3153 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3154 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3157 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3158 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3161 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3163 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3165 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3166 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3167 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3168 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3169 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3173 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3175 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3176 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3177 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3178 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3180 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3181 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3182 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3183 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3185 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3186 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3187 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3190 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3191 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3195 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3196 to handle some structures.
3199 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3201 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3203 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3206 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3209 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3212 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3213 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3217 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3219 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3221 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3223 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3226 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3227 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3228 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3229 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3231 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3232 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3234 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3235 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3238 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3239 s_client and s_server.
3242 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3243 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3245 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3246 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3248 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3249 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3250 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3251 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3252 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3255 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3257 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3258 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3261 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3262 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3265 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3266 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3267 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3268 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3270 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3271 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3273 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3275 *) Various precautionary measures:
3277 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3279 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3280 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3281 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3283 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3284 outside the expected range.
3286 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3289 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3291 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3292 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3293 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3295 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3298 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3301 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3303 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3306 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3307 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3308 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3310 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3313 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3314 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3315 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3319 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3321 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3322 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3323 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3324 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3326 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3327 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3330 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3332 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3333 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3334 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3336 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3338 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3339 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3340 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3341 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3344 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3345 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3346 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3347 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3348 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3349 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3350 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3352 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3354 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3355 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3356 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3357 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3358 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3360 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3361 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3363 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3364 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3365 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3366 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3367 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3369 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3371 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3372 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3373 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3374 sets may exist with different names.
3377 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3378 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3379 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3380 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3381 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3382 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3383 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3384 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3385 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3387 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3389 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3390 implemention in the following ways:
3392 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3395 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3396 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3397 ignored for embedded content.
3399 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3400 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3403 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3404 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3405 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3406 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3408 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3409 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3412 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3413 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3416 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3417 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3418 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3419 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3420 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3421 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3425 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3426 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3427 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3431 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3432 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3433 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3434 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3435 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3436 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3437 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3438 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3440 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3441 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3442 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3443 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3444 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3445 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3446 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3448 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3449 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3450 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3451 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3452 to s_client and s_server.
3455 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3457 *) Fix various bugs:
3458 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3459 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3460 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3461 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3462 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3464 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3466 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3467 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3468 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3469 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3470 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3471 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3472 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3473 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3476 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3477 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3478 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3481 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3482 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3483 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3486 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3487 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3490 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3491 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3492 with no application modification.
3494 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3495 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3497 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3498 or server extensions to be examined.
3500 This work was sponsored by Google.
3503 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3504 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3505 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3506 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3507 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3508 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3509 server_name extension.
3511 New functions (subject to change):
3513 SSL_get_servername()
3514 SSL_get_servername_type()
3517 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3519 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3520 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3521 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3522 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3523 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3525 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3527 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3528 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3529 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3530 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3531 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3532 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3535 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3537 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3540 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3543 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3544 (which previously caused an internal error).
3547 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3550 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3551 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3553 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3554 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3555 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3557 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3558 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3559 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3560 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3562 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3563 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3564 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3565 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3567 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3568 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3569 information. For detailed background information, see
3570 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3571 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3572 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3573 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3574 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3575 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3576 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3577 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3578 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3579 remove a conditional branch.
3581 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3582 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3583 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3584 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3585 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3586 remains as a deprecated alias.
3588 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3589 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3590 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3591 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3593 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3594 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3595 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3596 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3597 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3598 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3599 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3600 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3602 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3604 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3605 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3606 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3607 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3608 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3609 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3610 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3611 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3612 in a different context.
3615 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3616 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3617 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3620 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3621 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3622 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3624 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3626 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3627 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3628 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3629 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3630 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3633 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3634 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3635 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3636 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3637 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3638 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3641 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3642 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3643 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3644 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3645 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3648 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3649 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3651 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3652 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3653 Improve header file function name parsing.
3656 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3657 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3660 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3662 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3663 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3664 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3666 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3667 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3669 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3670 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3672 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3673 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3674 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3676 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3677 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3678 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3679 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3680 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3681 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3682 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3683 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3684 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3686 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3687 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3688 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3689 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3690 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3692 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3693 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3694 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3695 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3696 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3697 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3698 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3699 multiple values to extend the available space.
3703 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3705 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3706 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3708 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3711 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3712 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3713 undesirable limitations.
3714 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3716 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3717 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3718 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3719 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3720 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3721 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3722 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3725 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3727 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3728 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3729 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3731 The latter two were purportedly from
3732 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3735 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3736 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3737 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3740 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3741 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3744 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3745 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3746 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3747 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3749 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3750 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3751 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3754 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3755 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3756 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3757 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3758 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3759 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3762 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3764 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3765 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3768 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3769 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3771 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3772 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3773 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3774 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3777 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3778 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3781 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3782 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3783 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3784 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3785 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3786 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3787 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3791 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3792 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3793 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3794 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3797 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3798 under VC++ build system.
3801 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3802 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3805 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3807 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3808 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3809 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3810 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3811 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3813 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3814 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3815 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3817 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3820 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3821 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3824 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3825 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3827 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3830 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3831 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3833 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3834 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3837 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3838 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3842 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3844 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3847 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3850 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3851 key into the same file any more.
3854 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3857 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3858 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3860 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3861 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3864 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3865 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3866 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3867 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3868 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3869 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3871 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3872 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3873 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3876 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3877 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3878 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3879 - add new function for parameter creation
3880 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3881 BN_BLINDING parameters
3882 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3883 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3884 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3888 *) Add support for DTLS.
3889 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3891 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3892 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3895 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
3896 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3899 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3900 the apps/openssl applications.
3903 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3904 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3905 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3908 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3909 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3911 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3912 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3914 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3915 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3916 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3917 avoid this algorithm.)
3921 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3922 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3923 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3926 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3927 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3930 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3931 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3932 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3935 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3937 The blank line is mandatory.
3941 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3942 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3946 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3947 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3949 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3950 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3951 to support policy checking and print out.
3954 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3955 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3956 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3957 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3959 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3962 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3963 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3965 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3966 implementation contributed by IBM.
3967 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3969 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3970 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3971 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3972 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3974 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3975 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3977 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3978 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3979 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3980 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3981 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3982 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3985 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3986 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3987 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3988 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3989 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3990 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3991 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3994 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3997 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3998 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3999 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4000 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4001 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4002 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4003 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4004 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4007 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4008 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4009 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4010 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4013 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4016 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4019 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4020 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4021 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4022 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4023 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4024 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4025 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4028 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4029 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4032 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4033 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4034 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4037 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4038 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4039 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4043 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4044 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4047 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4048 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4049 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4050 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4053 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4054 initialised value as BN_new().
4055 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4057 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4060 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4061 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4062 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4063 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4064 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4065 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4066 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4067 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4068 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4069 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4070 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4071 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4072 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4073 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4074 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4076 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4077 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4078 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4079 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4082 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4083 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4084 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4085 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4086 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4087 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4088 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4089 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4090 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4093 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4094 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4095 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4096 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4097 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4098 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4099 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4102 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4103 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4104 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4105 these have been updated also.
4108 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4109 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4110 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4111 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4112 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4116 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4117 structure of type "other".
4120 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4121 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4122 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4123 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4124 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4125 situation in the script.
4126 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4128 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4129 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4130 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4131 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4132 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4133 used as premaster secret.
4134 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4136 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4137 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4138 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4140 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4141 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4143 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4144 control of the error stack.
4147 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4150 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4151 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4152 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4153 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4156 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4157 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4158 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4161 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4162 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4163 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4167 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4168 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4169 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4170 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4173 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4174 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4175 the following flags are defined:
4177 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4178 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4179 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4182 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4183 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4184 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4185 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4189 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4190 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4191 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4192 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4193 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4196 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4197 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4198 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4201 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4202 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4203 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4204 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4205 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4206 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4209 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4213 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4216 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4219 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4222 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4223 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4224 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4225 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4226 default implementation more easily.
4229 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4233 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4234 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4237 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4238 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4239 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4240 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4242 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4243 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4244 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4245 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4248 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4249 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4253 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4254 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4255 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4256 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4257 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4258 scalar * generator).
4259 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4261 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4262 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4263 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4267 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4268 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4269 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4270 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4271 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4272 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4273 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4274 linker additions, eg;
4275 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4278 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4279 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4280 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4283 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4284 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4285 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4289 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4290 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4291 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4292 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4295 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4296 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4297 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4298 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4299 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4300 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4301 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4302 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4303 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4304 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4306 Example for using the new callback interface:
4308 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4312 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4314 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4315 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4316 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4317 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4318 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4319 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4324 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4325 available to TLS with the number defined in
4326 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4329 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4330 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4332 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4333 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4334 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4335 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4337 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4338 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4340 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4341 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4345 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4346 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4349 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4350 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4351 and a macro that behave like
4352 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4354 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
4357 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
4358 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
4359 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
4361 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4363 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4366 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4367 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4368 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4369 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4371 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4372 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4373 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4374 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4375 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4376 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4377 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4378 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4380 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4381 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
4384 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4385 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4387 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4388 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4389 files while avoiding the low level API.
4391 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4392 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4393 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4394 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4396 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4397 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4398 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4399 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4400 instead of the low level API.
4403 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4404 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4405 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4406 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4407 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4410 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4411 down to the template encoder.
4414 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4415 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4418 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4419 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4420 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4421 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4423 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4424 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4426 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4427 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4429 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4430 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4433 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4434 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4435 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4438 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4439 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4441 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4442 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4444 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
4445 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
4448 EC_GF2m_simple_method
4452 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
4453 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
4454 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
4455 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4456 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4457 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
4459 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
4460 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
4463 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
4464 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
4465 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
4466 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
4467 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
4468 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
4469 various internal method names.)
4471 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
4472 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
4474 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4475 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4477 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
4478 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
4480 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
4481 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
4482 methods are undefined.
4484 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4485 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4487 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
4488 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
4489 length of the modulus.
4491 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4492 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4494 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
4495 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
4497 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4498 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4500 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
4501 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
4502 used) in the following functions [macros]:
4505 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
4506 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
4507 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
4508 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
4510 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
4511 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
4512 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
4513 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
4515 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
4516 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
4518 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
4519 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
4520 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
4521 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
4522 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
4524 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
4525 This applies to the following functions:
4530 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
4531 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
4533 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
4534 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
4538 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
4543 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
4545 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
4546 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
4547 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
4548 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
4549 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
4551 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4552 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4554 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
4555 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
4556 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
4558 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
4559 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
4561 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
4562 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
4563 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
4564 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
4565 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4567 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
4569 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
4570 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
4571 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
4572 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
4573 These control ASN1 encoding details:
4574 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
4575 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
4576 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
4577 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
4578 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
4579 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
4580 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
4582 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
4585 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4586 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4587 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4588 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4590 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4591 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4592 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4593 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4598 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4599 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4600 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4601 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4602 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4604 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4605 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4606 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4607 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4608 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4609 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4610 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4611 adding different types of curves.
4612 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4614 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4615 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4616 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4619 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4620 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4622 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4623 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4624 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4625 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4627 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4629 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4630 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4632 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4633 library. Most notably,
4634 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4635 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4636 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4637 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4638 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4639 extracted before the specific public key;
4640 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4641 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4643 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4644 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4646 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4647 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4648 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4649 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4651 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4652 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4653 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4655 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4656 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4657 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4658 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4659 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4660 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4664 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4666 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4668 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4670 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4671 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4672 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4675 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4676 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4677 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4680 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4683 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4684 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4687 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4688 run algorithm test programs.
4691 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4694 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4695 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4696 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4697 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4698 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4701 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4702 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4705 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4707 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4708 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4709 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4711 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4712 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4714 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4715 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4717 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4718 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4719 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4721 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4722 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4723 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4724 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4725 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4726 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4727 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4730 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4732 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4733 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4735 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4736 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4737 undesirable limitations.
4738 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4740 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4742 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4743 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4744 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4746 The latter two were purportedly from
4747 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4750 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4751 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4752 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4755 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4756 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4759 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4761 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4762 module in FIPS mode.
4765 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4768 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4769 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4770 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4771 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4774 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4776 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4777 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4778 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4779 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4780 the difference induced by this change.
4783 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4785 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4786 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4787 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4788 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4789 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4791 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4792 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4793 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4795 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4796 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4799 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4800 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4801 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4802 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4806 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4807 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4808 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4809 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4810 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4812 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4813 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4814 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4815 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4816 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4817 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4819 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4821 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4822 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4823 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4824 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4825 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4828 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4832 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4833 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4834 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4837 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4838 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4839 structures constant.
4842 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4844 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4847 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4848 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4849 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4850 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4851 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4852 some needed definitions.
4855 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4858 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4859 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4860 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4861 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4864 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4866 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4867 server and client random values. Previously
4868 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4869 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4871 This change has negligible security impact because:
4873 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4876 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4879 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4880 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4883 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4886 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4888 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4891 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4892 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4893 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4895 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4898 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4899 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4902 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4903 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4904 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4906 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4909 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4910 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4911 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4915 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4916 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4917 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4918 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4920 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4921 has chosen to ignore this fault)

4927 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4929 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4930 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4931 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4932 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4933 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4936 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4939 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4940 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4942 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4943 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4944 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4945 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4946 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4947 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4948 rather than being initialized to 1.
4951 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4953 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4954 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4955 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4957 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4959 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4961 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4962 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4963 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4964 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4965 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4966 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4969 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4970 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4971 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4972 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4973 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4977 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4978 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4979 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4980 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4981 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4984 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4985 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4986 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4990 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4991 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4993 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4996 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4998 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5000 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5001 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5003 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5005 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5006 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5010 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5011 exiting on the first error in a request.
5014 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5015 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5019 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5020 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5021 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5022 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5024 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5025 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5028 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5029 blocks during encryption.
5032 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5033 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5034 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5035 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5039 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5040 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5041 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5042 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5043 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5047 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5049 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5050 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5051 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5052 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5055 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5056 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5057 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5058 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5059 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5061 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5062 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5063 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5064 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5065 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5066 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5067 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5068 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5069 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5072 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5073 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5074 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5075 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5078 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5079 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5082 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5084 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5085 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
5086 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5087 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5088 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5090 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5091 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5092 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5094 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5095 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5096 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5097 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5098 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5100 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5101 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5102 used by default when no-err is given.
5105 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5106 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5108 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5109 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5110 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5111 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5112 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5114 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5115 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5116 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5117 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5119 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5121 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5123 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5125 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5126 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5127 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5128 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5132 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5133 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5135 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5136 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5139 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5140 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5141 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5142 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5145 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5146 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5147 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5148 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5149 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5150 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5151 followup to PR #377.
5154 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5155 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5158 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5159 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5160 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5161 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5163 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5165 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5168 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5169 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5170 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5171 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5173 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5177 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5178 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5182 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5183 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5184 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5185 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5186 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5187 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5189 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5190 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5191 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5192 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5193 have to be made anyway).
5196 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5197 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5198 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5201 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5202 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5203 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5206 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5207 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5208 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5210 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5211 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5212 edit numbers of the version.
5213 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5215 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5216 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5217 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5219 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5220 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5222 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5223 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5224 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5226 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5227 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5229 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5230 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5232 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5233 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5235 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5236 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5238 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5240 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5242 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5243 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5244 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5246 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5247 representations in a platform independent manner.
5248 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5250 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5251 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5252 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5254 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5256 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5258 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5259 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5261 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5263 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5265 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5266 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5267 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5269 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5271 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5273 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5274 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5276 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
5277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5279 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
5280 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5282 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
5283 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5285 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
5287 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5289 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
5290 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5292 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
5293 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5295 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
5296 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
5298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5300 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
5301 the 0.9.6 release series:
5303 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5304 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5306 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5308 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
5311 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
5312 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
5314 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
5315 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
5317 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
5318 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
5319 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
5320 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
5322 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
5323 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
5324 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
5326 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
5327 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
5328 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
5329 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5331 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
5332 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
5333 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
5336 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
5337 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
5338 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
5339 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5340 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5341 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
5342 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
5343 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
5346 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
5347 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
5348 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
5351 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
5352 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
5353 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
5354 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
5355 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
5357 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
5358 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
5360 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
5361 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5364 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5365 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5366 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5367 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5368 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5369 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5372 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5373 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5374 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5377 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5378 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5381 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5382 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5383 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5384 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5385 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5386 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5387 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5390 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5391 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5392 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5393 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5394 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5395 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5398 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5399 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5400 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5401 declaration has been changed from
5404 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5405 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5406 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5407 has been changed into
5408 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5410 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5411 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5412 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5414 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5415 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5417 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5418 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5419 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5420 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5421 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5422 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5423 always load it have also been added.
5426 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5427 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5428 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5430 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5432 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5433 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5434 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5436 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5437 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5438 command line option can be used to specify an
5442 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
5443 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
5446 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
5447 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
5448 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
5451 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
5452 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5453 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
5454 to work with the new engine framework.
5455 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
5457 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
5458 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5459 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
5460 to work with the new engine framework.
5463 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
5464 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
5465 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
5467 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
5468 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
5470 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
5471 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
5472 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
5473 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
5475 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5477 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5478 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5480 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
5481 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
5483 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
5484 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
5485 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
5488 *) Add new functions
5490 ERR_peek_last_error_line
5491 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
5492 These are similar to
5495 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
5496 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
5497 still in the error queue.
5498 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
5500 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
5502 default_algorithms = ALL
5503 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
5506 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
5509 *) New experimental application configuration code.
5512 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
5513 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
5514 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
5515 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5517 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
5518 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
5520 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
5521 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5523 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
5524 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
5527 *) New functions/macros
5529 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
5530 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
5531 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
5532 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
5534 to request calling a callback function
5536 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
5537 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
5539 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
5540 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
5541 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
5542 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
5543 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
5544 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
5545 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
5546 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
5547 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
5548 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
5550 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
5551 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
5554 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
5555 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
5556 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
5557 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
5558 the configuration scripts.
5560 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
5561 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
5562 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
5564 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
5565 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5567 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
5568 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
5569 when reusing an existing buffer.
5572 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
5573 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
5576 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
5577 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
5580 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
5581 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
5582 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
5583 has the same effect.
5584 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5586 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5587 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5588 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5589 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5590 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5591 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5594 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5595 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5596 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5597 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5599 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5600 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5601 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5602 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5604 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5605 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5608 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5609 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5610 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5611 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5612 default), and then completely removed.
5615 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5616 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5617 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5618 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5619 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5620 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5621 particular extension is supported.
5624 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5625 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5628 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5629 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5630 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5631 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5632 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5633 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5634 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5635 requires the destination to be valid.
5637 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5638 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5641 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5642 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5643 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5646 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5647 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5649 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5650 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5651 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5652 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5653 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5654 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5655 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5656 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5657 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5658 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5659 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5660 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5661 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5662 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5663 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5664 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5665 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5666 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5667 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5671 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5674 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5675 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5676 become part of libeay.num as well.
5679 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5680 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5681 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
5682 false once a handshake has been completed.
5683 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5684 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5685 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5686 client has followed the request.)
5689 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5690 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5691 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5692 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5694 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5695 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5696 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5699 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5702 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5703 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5704 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5707 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5708 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5711 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5712 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5713 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5714 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5717 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5718 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5719 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5720 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5721 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5722 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5725 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5726 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5727 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5728 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5729 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5730 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5731 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5732 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5735 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5736 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5739 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5742 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5743 md_data void pointer.
5746 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5747 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5748 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5749 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5750 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5751 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5754 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5755 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5756 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5757 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5758 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5759 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5760 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5761 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5762 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5763 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5764 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5765 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5766 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5767 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5768 rather than letting it slide.
5770 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5771 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5772 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5775 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5776 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5777 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5778 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5779 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5780 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5781 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5782 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5783 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5786 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5787 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5788 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5789 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5790 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5792 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5795 *) Add EVP test program.
5798 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5801 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5802 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5803 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5804 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5805 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5808 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5809 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5810 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5811 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5812 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5813 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5814 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5816 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5817 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5818 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5823 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5824 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5825 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5826 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5827 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5831 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5832 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5833 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5834 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5837 des_key_schedule ks;
5839 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5840 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5842 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5845 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5846 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5847 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5848 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5849 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5850 functions prevents this.
5853 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5856 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5857 correct _ecb suffix.
5860 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5861 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5862 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5863 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5864 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5867 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5870 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5871 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5872 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5873 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5875 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5876 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5878 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5879 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5880 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5881 via Richard Levitte]
5883 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5884 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5885 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5886 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5889 *) Speed up EVP routines.
5892 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
5893 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

5907 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5908 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5910 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5911 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5912 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5913 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5914 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5915 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5918 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5919 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5922 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5923 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5924 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5925 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5927 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5928 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5929 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5930 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5931 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5932 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5936 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5937 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5938 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5939 and interrupts/cancellations.
5942 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5943 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5946 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5947 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5948 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5950 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5951 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5955 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5956 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5957 than this minimum value is recommended.
5960 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5961 that are easily reachable.
5964 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5965 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5967 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5969 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5970 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5971 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5972 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5975 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5976 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5977 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5980 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5981 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5982 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5983 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5984 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5985 internally such as S/MIME.
5987 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5988 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5989 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5991 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5995 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5996 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5997 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5998 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6000 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6002 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6004 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6005 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6006 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6010 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6011 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6012 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6013 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6014 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6015 a window system and the like.
6018 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6019 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6022 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6023 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6024 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6025 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6026 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6027 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6028 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6029 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6030 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6034 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6035 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6039 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6040 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6041 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6042 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6043 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6044 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6045 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6046 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6049 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6050 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6051 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6052 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6053 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6054 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6055 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6056 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6057 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6058 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6059 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6060 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6061 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6062 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6063 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6064 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6065 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6068 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6069 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6070 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6071 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6072 internal engine_int.h header.
6075 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6076 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6077 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6078 modify their own ones).
6081 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6082 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6083 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6084 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6085 later on via ctrl() commands.
6086 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6087 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6088 structural references.
6089 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6090 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6091 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6092 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6093 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6094 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6095 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6096 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6097 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6098 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6099 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6100 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6103 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6104 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6105 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6106 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6107 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6108 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6109 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6110 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6113 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6114 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6117 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6118 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6121 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6122 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6123 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6124 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6125 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6126 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6127 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6130 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6131 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6132 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6133 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6134 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6136 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6137 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6141 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6143 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6144 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6145 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6147 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6148 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6150 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6151 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6152 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6154 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6155 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6157 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6158 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6160 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6162 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6163 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6164 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6167 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6168 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6171 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6172 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6173 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6174 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6175 is 40 of more characters long.
6178 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6179 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6183 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6184 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6187 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6188 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6192 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6194 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6195 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6198 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6200 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6201 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6202 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6204 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6205 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6207 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6210 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6214 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6215 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6216 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6217 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6219 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6221 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6222 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6224 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6225 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6226 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6227 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6228 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6229 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6231 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6232 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6234 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6235 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6237 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6238 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6240 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6241 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6242 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6243 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6245 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6246 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6248 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6249 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6251 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6252 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6253 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6254 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6255 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6258 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6259 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6260 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6261 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6264 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6265 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6266 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6270 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6271 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6272 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6273 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6274 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6275 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6276 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6277 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6281 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6282 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6285 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6286 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6287 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6288 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6291 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6292 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6293 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6294 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6295 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6296 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6297 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6298 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6299 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6300 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6303 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6304 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6305 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6306 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6307 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6308 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
6309 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
6310 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6312 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
6313 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
6314 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
6315 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
6318 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
6319 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
6320 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
6321 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
6323 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
6324 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
6325 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
6326 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
6327 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
6331 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
6332 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
6333 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
6334 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
6338 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
6339 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
6340 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
6343 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
6344 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
6345 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
6346 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
6347 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
6350 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
6353 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
6354 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
6355 option to ocsp utility.
6358 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
6359 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
6360 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
6361 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
6362 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
6363 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6364 the request is nonce-less.
6367 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6368 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6369 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6372 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6373 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6374 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6377 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6378 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6379 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6380 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6381 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6384 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6385 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6389 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6390 additional certificates supplied.
6393 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6394 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6398 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6399 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6402 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6403 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6404 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6405 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6406 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6407 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6408 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6409 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6410 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6412 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6413 request to response.
6416 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6417 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6418 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6419 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6420 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6421 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6422 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6423 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6424 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6425 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6426 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6429 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6430 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6431 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6432 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6435 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6436 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6438 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6439 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6440 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
6443 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
6444 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
6445 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
6446 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6447 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6449 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
6450 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
6451 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
6454 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
6455 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
6456 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
6457 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
6458 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
6459 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
6460 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6461 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6463 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
6464 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
6465 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
6466 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
6467 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
6468 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
6471 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
6472 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
6473 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
6474 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
6475 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
6476 printout format cleaned up.
6479 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
6480 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
6481 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
6482 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
6483 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
6484 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
6485 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
6486 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
6489 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
6490 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
6491 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
6492 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
6493 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
6494 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
6495 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
6496 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
6499 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
6500 extensions from a separate configuration file.
6501 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
6502 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
6504 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6506 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
6507 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
6508 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
6509 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
6512 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
6513 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
6514 the given serial number (according to the index file).
6515 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
6517 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6519 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
6520 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
6521 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
6522 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6524 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
6525 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
6527 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
6528 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
6529 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
6532 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
6533 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
6534 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
6537 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
6538 file name and line number information in additional arguments
6539 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
6540 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
6541 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
6542 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
6543 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
6544 functions are provided:
6546 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
6547 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
6548 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
6549 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
6551 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
6552 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
6553 extended allocation function is enabled.
6554 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
6555 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
6556 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
6558 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
6559 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
6560 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
6561 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
6562 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
6565 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
6566 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
6567 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
6569 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
6570 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
6571 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
6574 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
6575 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
6576 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
6577 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
6578 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
6579 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
6580 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
6581 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
6582 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
6585 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6586 provide utility functions which an application needing
6587 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6588 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6589 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6591 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6592 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6593 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6594 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6595 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6596 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6597 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6598 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6599 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6601 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6602 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6603 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6604 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6607 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6608 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6609 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6610 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6611 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6612 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6613 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6614 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6615 will be added elsewhere.
6618 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6619 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6620 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6621 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6624 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6625 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6626 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6627 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6628 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6629 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6630 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6631 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6632 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6633 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6634 to produce the required SET OF.
6637 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6638 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6639 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6642 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6643 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6644 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6645 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6646 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6647 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6650 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6651 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6652 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6655 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6656 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6657 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6660 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6661 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6662 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6663 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6664 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6667 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6668 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6671 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6672 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6673 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6674 certifcates and CRLs.
6677 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6678 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6679 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6682 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
6683 entries for variables.
6686 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6687 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6688 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6689 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6692 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6693 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6694 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6695 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6696 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6697 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6700 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6701 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6703 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6704 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6705 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6708 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6712 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6713 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6714 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6715 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6716 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6717 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6720 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6723 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6724 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6725 for now but they will eventually go away.
6728 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6729 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6730 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6731 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6732 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6733 has also been converted to the new form.
6736 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6737 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6738 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6739 for negative moduli.
6742 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6743 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6746 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6750 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6751 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6752 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6753 type-specific callbacks.
6756 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6758 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6759 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6761 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6762 in sections depending on the subject.
6765 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6769 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6770 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6771 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6772 be handled deterministically).
6773 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6775 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6776 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6777 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6780 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6783 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6784 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6785 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6786 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6787 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6790 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6791 sign of the number in question.
6793 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6795 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6796 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6797 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6798 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6799 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6802 *) New function BN_swap.
6805 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6806 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6807 results on negative inputs.
6810 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6811 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6812 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6815 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6816 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6817 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6818 and add new functions:
6827 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6831 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6833 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6834 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6836 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6837 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6838 be reduced modulo m.
6839 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6842 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
6843 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6844 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6846 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6847 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6848 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6849 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6850 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6851 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6856 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6857 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6858 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6859 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6860 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6862 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6863 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6864 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6868 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6871 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6872 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6875 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6876 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6877 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6878 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6882 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6885 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6888 *) Add the following functions:
6890 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6892 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6894 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6896 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6897 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6898 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6899 libraries unless it's really needed.
6901 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6902 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6903 declarations (they differed!).
6906 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6909 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6912 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6915 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6916 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6919 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6920 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6921 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6923 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6924 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6927 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6930 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6933 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6936 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6937 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6938 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6940 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6941 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6942 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6943 different shared library filenames on each system.
6946 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6949 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6950 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6951 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6953 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6956 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6957 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6958 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6959 binary backward compatibility.
6960 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6961 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6962 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6966 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6967 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6968 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6969 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6973 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6976 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6977 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6978 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6979 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6983 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6986 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6988 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6989 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6990 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6992 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6994 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6996 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6997 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7000 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7002 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7004 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7005 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7007 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7008 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7012 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7013 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7017 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7018 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7019 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7020 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7022 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7023 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7026 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7028 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7029 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7030 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7031 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7034 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7035 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7036 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7037 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7038 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7040 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7041 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7042 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7043 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7044 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7045 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7046 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7047 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7048 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7051 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7053 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7054 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7055 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7056 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7057 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7059 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7060 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7061 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7063 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7065 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7066 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7067 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7068 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7069 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7070 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7073 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7074 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7075 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7076 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7077 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7080 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7081 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7082 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7084 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7085 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7086 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7090 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7091 being properly terminated.
7094 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7095 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7096 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7097 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7099 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7100 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7101 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7102 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7103 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7104 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7105 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7107 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7109 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7110 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7113 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7114 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7115 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7116 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7117 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7118 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7119 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7120 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7122 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7123 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7124 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7125 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7126 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7128 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7129 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7132 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7134 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7135 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7136 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7138 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7140 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7141 and get fix the header length calculation.
7142 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7143 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7146 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7147 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7148 assertions could call abort()).
7149 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7151 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7153 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7154 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7155 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7157 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7159 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7160 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7161 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7164 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7168 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7169 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7170 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7172 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7173 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7174 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7175 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7176 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7180 *) Changes in security patch:
7182 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7183 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7184 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7187 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7188 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7189 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7190 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7191 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7193 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7195 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7197 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7198 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7199 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7201 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7202 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7203 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7205 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7206 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7207 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7209 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7211 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7212 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7213 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7215 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7216 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7218 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7219 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7220 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7221 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7222 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7223 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7226 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7227 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7228 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7229 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7232 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7235 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7236 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7237 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7238 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7239 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7240 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7242 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7243 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7244 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7245 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7246 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7249 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7250 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7251 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7252 BN_generate_prime().)
7254 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7255 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7256 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7260 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7261 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7264 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7265 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7266 when using non-blocking I/O.
7267 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7269 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7270 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7272 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7273 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7276 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
7277 configuration for the versions before that.
7278 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7280 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
7281 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
7282 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
7283 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
7286 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
7287 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
7288 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
7291 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
7295 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
7296 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7297 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7299 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
7300 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
7302 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
7303 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
7304 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
7305 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
7306 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
7307 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
7308 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
7311 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
7312 using a local variable.
7313 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7315 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
7316 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
7317 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7319 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
7322 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
7323 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
7325 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
7326 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
7327 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
7329 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
7331 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
7332 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
7333 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
7334 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
7337 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
7341 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
7342 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
7343 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
7344 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
7345 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
7347 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
7348 returns early because it has nothing to do.
7349 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7351 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7352 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
7353 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7355 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7356 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
7357 (Use engine 'keyclient')
7358 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
7360 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
7361 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
7362 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
7364 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
7366 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7367 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
7369 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
7371 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7372 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
7373 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7374 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7376 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7377 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7378 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7379 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7381 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7382 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7384 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7385 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7386 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7389 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7390 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7391 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7393 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7395 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7396 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7397 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7398 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7399 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7400 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7401 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7404 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7405 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7406 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7407 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7409 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7410 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7411 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7412 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7413 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7414 the client will at least see that alert.
7417 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7421 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
7422 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
7423 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7425 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
7426 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
7427 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
7428 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
7431 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
7432 before just sending a HelloRequest.
7433 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
7435 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
7436 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
7437 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
7438 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
7439 may leak via logfiles.)
7441 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
7442 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
7443 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
7444 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
7448 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
7449 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7452 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
7453 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
7454 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
7455 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
7456 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
7459 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
7460 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
7462 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
7463 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
7464 followed by modular reduction.
7465 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
7467 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
7468 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
7471 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
7472 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
7473 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
7474 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
7477 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
7480 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
7481 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
7484 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
7485 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
7486 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
7487 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
7488 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
7489 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
7491 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
7493 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
7494 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
7495 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
7496 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
7497 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
7499 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
7502 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
7503 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
7504 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
7505 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
7506 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
7507 to allow the necessary settings.
7510 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
7511 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
7512 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
7513 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
7516 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
7517 dh->length and always used
7519 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
7521 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
7522 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
7523 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
7524 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
7525 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
7530 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
7532 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
7538 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
7539 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
7540 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
7541 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
7543 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
7544 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
7545 always reject numbers >= n.
7548 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
7549 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
7550 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
7551 variable) is not atomic.
7554 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
7555 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
7556 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
7557 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
7559 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
7560 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
7562 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
7564 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
7566 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
7569 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
7571 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
7572 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
7573 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
7574 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
7575 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
7576 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
7577 to traverse all of 'state'.
7579 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
7580 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
7581 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
7583 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
7584 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
7586 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
7587 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
7588 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7589 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7590 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7591 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7592 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7593 further strengthens the PRNG.
7596 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7599 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7600 an error message in this case.
7603 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7606 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7607 positive and less than q.
7610 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7611 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7613 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7615 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7616 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7620 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7622 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7623 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7624 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7625 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7626 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7627 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7628 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7631 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7632 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7633 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7634 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7636 Both problems are now fixed.
7639 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7640 (previously it was 1024).
7643 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7644 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7647 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7650 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7651 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7652 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7655 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7656 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7657 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7658 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7659 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7660 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7661 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7662 environment variables.
7664 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7665 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7666 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7669 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7670 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7671 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7672 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7673 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7674 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7677 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7681 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7683 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7684 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7686 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7687 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7688 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7689 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7693 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7694 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7695 amount of data available.
7696 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7697 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7699 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7700 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7701 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7702 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7705 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7706 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7710 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7711 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7712 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7713 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7716 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7719 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7722 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7723 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7725 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7727 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7728 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7729 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7730 (but broken) behaviour.
7733 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7735 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7737 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7738 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7741 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7745 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7746 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7748 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7751 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7752 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7753 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7755 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7756 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7757 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7760 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7761 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7764 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7765 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7767 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7769 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7771 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7772 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7773 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7774 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7777 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7780 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.

7784 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7787 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7789 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7790 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7791 but the code is actually correct.
7794 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7795 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7796 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7797 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7798 and leaves the highest bit random.
7799 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7801 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7802 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7803 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7804 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7805 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7806 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7807 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7810 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7813 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7814 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7817 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7818 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7819 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7820 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7824 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7825 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7826 and break the signature.
7828 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7830 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7834 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7835 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7836 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7837 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7838 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7841 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7842 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7844 *) ./config script fixes.
7845 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7847 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7850 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7851 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7852 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7853 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7854 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7856 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7857 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7860 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7861 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7864 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7865 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7866 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7867 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7869 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7870 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7872 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7873 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7874 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7875 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7876 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7878 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7881 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7884 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7887 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7890 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7891 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7894 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7895 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7896 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7897 result of the server certificate verification.)
7900 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7901 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7902 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7906 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7907 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7908 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7909 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7910 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7911 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7912 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7913 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7916 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7917 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7918 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7919 happening the other way round.
7922 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7923 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7926 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7927 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7928 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7929 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7932 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7933 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7935 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7937 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7938 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7939 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7942 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7944 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7946 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7950 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7952 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7953 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7954 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7955 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7956 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7958 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7959 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
7963 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7966 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7968 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7969 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7970 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7971 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7972 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7973 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7974 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7975 by the Finished messages.
7978 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7979 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7981 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7982 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7983 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7984 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7985 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7989 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7990 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7991 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7992 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7993 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7994 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7995 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7996 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7997 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8001 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8002 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8003 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8004 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8006 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8007 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8008 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8009 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8010 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8013 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8014 been tested well enough.
8017 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8018 it can return incorrect results.
8019 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8020 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8023 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8024 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8025 include zero length content when signing messages.
8028 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8029 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8032 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8035 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8039 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8040 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8041 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8042 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8043 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8044 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8047 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8048 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8050 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8051 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8053 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8054 random number < q in the DSA library.
8057 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8058 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8059 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8060 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8061 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8062 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8063 just makes things more complicated.)
8066 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8070 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8071 work better on such systems.
8072 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8074 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8075 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8076 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8079 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8080 if there was more than one signature.
8081 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8083 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8084 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
8085 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8086 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8089 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8090 rather than always using the current time.
8093 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8094 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8095 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8096 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8097 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8098 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8100 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8101 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8103 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8105 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8106 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8107 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8108 the same hash value.
8110 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8111 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8112 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8113 with X509_STORE internally.
8115 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8116 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8118 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8119 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8120 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8121 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8122 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8123 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8124 entirely (maybe later...).
8126 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8128 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8129 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8130 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8131 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8132 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8133 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8134 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8135 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8137 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8138 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8140 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8141 to customise the verify behaviour.
8144 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8145 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8148 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8149 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8150 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8151 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8152 request is improperly encoded.
8155 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8156 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8159 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8160 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8162 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8163 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8167 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8168 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8169 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8172 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8173 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8174 BIO/fp routines also added.
8177 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8178 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8180 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8181 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8182 demos/state_machine.
8185 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8186 generation and verification.
8189 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8190 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8191 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8192 encode and decode it manually.
8195 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8197 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8199 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8200 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8201 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8202 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8204 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8205 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8206 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8207 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8208 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8211 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8214 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8215 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8216 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8218 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8219 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8220 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8221 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8222 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8223 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8224 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8225 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8227 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8228 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8230 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8232 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8233 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8234 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8238 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8239 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8240 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8241 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8245 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8247 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8250 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8251 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8252 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8253 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8254 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8255 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8256 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8257 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8258 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8259 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8260 short or long names are found.
8263 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8264 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8266 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8267 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8268 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8269 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8271 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8272 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8273 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8274 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8277 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
8278 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
8279 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
8282 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
8283 these print out strings and name structures based on various
8284 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
8285 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
8286 to allow the various flags to be set.
8289 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
8290 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
8291 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
8292 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
8293 dates to be checked.
8296 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
8297 negative public key encodings) on by default,
8298 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
8301 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
8302 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
8303 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
8306 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
8307 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
8310 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
8311 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
8312 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
8313 are always statically linked for now, but there are
8314 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
8315 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
8318 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
8319 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
8323 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
8327 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
8328 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
8329 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
8330 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
8331 form signing output easier to verify.
8334 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
8337 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
8338 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
8339 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
8340 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
8341 are needed because all other string types have virtually
8342 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
8343 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
8344 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
8345 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
8346 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
8349 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
8351 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
8352 the syntax given in objects.README.
8353 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
8355 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
8358 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
8359 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
8360 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
8361 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
8362 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
8363 consistent name changes.
8366 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
8369 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
8370 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
8371 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
8372 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8375 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8376 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8377 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8381 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8382 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8383 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8384 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8387 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8388 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8389 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8390 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8391 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8392 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8393 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8394 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8395 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8396 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8397 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8400 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8401 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8402 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8403 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
8404 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8405 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8406 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8407 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8408 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8409 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8412 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8413 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8414 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8415 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8417 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8418 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8419 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8420 omit any duplicate addresses.
8423 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
8424 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
8427 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
8428 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
8429 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
8430 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
8431 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
8434 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
8436 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
8437 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
8438 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
8439 Free => OPENSSL_free
8442 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
8443 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
8446 *) CygWin32 support.
8447 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
8449 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
8450 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
8451 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
8452 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
8453 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
8457 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
8458 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
8459 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
8460 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
8461 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
8462 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
8463 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
8466 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
8467 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
8468 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
8469 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
8470 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
8471 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
8472 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
8473 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
8474 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
8475 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
8476 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
8479 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
8480 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
8481 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
8482 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
8483 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
8485 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
8486 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
8487 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
8488 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
8489 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
8491 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
8494 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
8495 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
8496 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
8497 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
8499 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
8501 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
8504 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
8505 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
8506 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
8509 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
8510 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
8511 any installed hardware versions can.
8514 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
8515 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
8516 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
8520 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
8521 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
8522 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
8523 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
8524 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
8526 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
8527 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
8530 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
8531 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
8534 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
8535 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
8536 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
8540 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
8543 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
8544 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
8545 but no ssl client purpose.
8546 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
8548 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
8549 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
8550 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
8551 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
8552 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
8553 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
8554 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
8555 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
8556 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
8557 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
8558 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
8561 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
8562 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
8563 be obtained from the error queue.
8566 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
8567 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
8568 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
8569 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
8572 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
8575 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
8576 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
8577 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
8578 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
8579 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
8582 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
8583 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
8584 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
8585 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
8586 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8589 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8590 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8591 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8593 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8595 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8596 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8597 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8598 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8599 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8600 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8601 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8602 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8603 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8604 or "the configuration storage API"...
8606 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8608 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8609 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8611 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8613 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8615 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8616 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8617 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8618 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8619 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8620 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8621 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8623 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8624 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8627 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8628 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8629 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8630 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8633 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8634 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8635 them in a portable way.
8636 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8638 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8640 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8642 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8643 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8645 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8646 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8647 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8650 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8651 was larger than the MD block size.
8652 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8654 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8655 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8656 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8657 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8661 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8662 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8663 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8665 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8667 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8669 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8670 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8671 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8672 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8673 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8674 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8676 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8677 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8679 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8680 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8683 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8686 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8687 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8689 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8690 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8691 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
8692 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8695 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8696 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8697 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8698 does not suppress any output.
8701 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8702 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8703 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8704 with all the associated security issues.
8706 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8707 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8708 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8709 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8710 use the value in the default purpose.
8713 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8714 and fix a memory leak.
8717 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8718 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8719 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8720 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8723 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8724 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8725 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8726 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8729 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8730 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8731 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8734 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8735 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8738 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8739 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8743 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8744 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8747 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8748 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8749 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8752 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8753 number generation fails.
8756 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8759 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8760 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8762 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8765 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8766 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8768 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8769 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8771 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8773 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8774 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8777 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8778 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8780 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8781 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8784 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8785 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8786 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8787 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8788 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8789 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8791 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8792 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8793 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8797 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8798 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8799 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8800 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8801 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8802 counter, some don't.)
8803 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8804 counters or duplicate objects.
8807 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8808 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8811 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8812 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8813 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8815 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8816 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8817 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8821 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8822 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8825 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8826 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8827 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8831 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8832 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8833 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8836 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8837 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8838 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8839 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8840 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8841 should work without changes.
8844 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8845 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8846 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8847 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8848 must be defined. E.g.,
8849 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8850 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8851 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8852 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8854 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8858 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8859 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8860 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8863 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8864 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8865 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8866 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8869 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8870 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8871 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8872 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8873 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8874 is prompted for as usual.
8877 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8878 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8879 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8880 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8882 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8883 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8884 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8885 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8888 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8891 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8895 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8898 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8901 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8905 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8908 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8911 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8912 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8915 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8916 options to produce them.
8919 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8920 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8923 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8927 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8928 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8929 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8930 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8931 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8932 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8933 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8936 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8939 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8940 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8941 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8944 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8945 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8947 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8948 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8951 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8952 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8953 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8957 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8958 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8960 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8961 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8962 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8963 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8964 generation becomes much faster.
8966 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8967 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8968 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8969 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8970 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8971 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8972 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8973 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8974 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8975 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8978 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8979 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8980 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8981 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8982 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8983 trial division stage.
8986 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8990 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8993 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8996 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8997 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8998 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9002 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9003 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9004 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9007 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9008 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9009 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9010 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9012 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9013 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9016 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9019 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9020 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9021 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9022 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9025 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9026 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9027 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9030 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9031 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9032 (instead of parameters) in future.
9035 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9036 when a new cipher list is set.
9039 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9040 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9043 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9044 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9045 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9047 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9048 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9049 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9050 an error is flagged.
9052 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9053 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9054 the readability was also increased :-)
9055 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9057 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9058 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9059 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9060 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9064 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9065 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9068 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9069 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9070 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
9071 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9074 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9075 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9076 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9077 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9078 because they handle more complex structures.)
9081 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9082 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9083 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9084 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9086 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9087 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9088 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9089 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9090 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9091 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9092 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9095 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9096 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9097 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9098 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9099 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9102 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9105 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9106 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9107 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9108 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9109 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9112 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9116 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9117 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9118 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9119 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9122 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9125 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9126 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9127 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9128 international characters are used.
9130 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9131 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9132 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9136 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9137 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9138 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9141 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9142 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9143 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9144 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9145 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9146 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9148 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9149 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9150 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9151 be handled by the string table functions.
9153 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9154 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9155 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9156 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9157 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9161 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9162 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9163 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9164 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9165 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9167 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9168 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9169 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9170 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9173 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9174 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9175 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9176 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9177 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9181 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9182 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9183 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9184 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9185 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9186 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9187 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9188 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9190 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9191 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9192 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9195 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9196 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9197 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9198 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9199 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9200 support to pkcs8 application.
9203 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9204 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9205 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9206 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9207 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9208 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9211 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9212 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9213 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9214 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9215 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9219 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9220 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9221 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9222 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9226 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9227 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9228 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9229 and any application specific purposes.
9231 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9232 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9233 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9234 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9235 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9236 if the certificate is self signed.
9239 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9240 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9243 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9244 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9245 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9246 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9249 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9250 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9251 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9252 Update documentation.
9255 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9256 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9257 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9258 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9259 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9262 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9264 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9266 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9267 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9268 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9269 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9270 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9271 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9272 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9273 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9274 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9275 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
9277 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
9279 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9280 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9281 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
9282 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
9283 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
9285 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
9286 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
9287 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
9288 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
9289 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
9290 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
9291 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
9292 request additional information:
9293 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
9294 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
9296 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
9297 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
9298 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
9301 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
9302 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
9305 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
9308 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
9309 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
9311 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
9312 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
9313 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
9317 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
9318 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
9319 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
9321 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
9322 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
9323 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
9324 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
9325 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
9326 included in OpenSSL.
9329 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
9330 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
9331 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
9332 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
9333 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
9334 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
9337 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
9341 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
9342 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
9343 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
9344 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
9345 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
9349 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
9353 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
9354 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
9355 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
9356 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
9357 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
9358 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
9359 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
9360 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
9361 be maintained manually.
9363 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
9364 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
9365 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
9366 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
9367 work because people forget to call this function]
9368 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
9369 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
9370 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
9373 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9374 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9375 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9376 should be discouraged from doing it.
9379 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9380 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9381 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9382 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9383 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9384 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9387 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9388 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9389 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9391 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9392 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9393 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9395 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9396 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9397 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9398 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9399 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9400 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9402 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9403 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9404 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9406 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9407 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9410 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9411 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9412 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9413 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9416 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9419 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9420 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
9421 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
9422 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
9423 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
9424 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
9425 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
9426 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
9427 keys so we should be OK.
9429 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
9430 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
9431 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
9432 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
9433 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
9434 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
9435 stay in the name of compatibility.
9437 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
9438 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
9439 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
9441 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
9442 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
9443 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
9444 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
9445 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
9446 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
9450 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
9451 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
9452 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
9453 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
9454 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
9455 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
9456 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
9457 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
9458 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
9459 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
9460 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
9461 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
9462 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
9465 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
9468 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
9469 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
9470 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
9471 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
9472 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
9473 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
9474 single self signed certificate. This means that:
9475 openssl verify ss.pem
9476 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
9477 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
9481 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
9482 (and add it to external session representation).
9483 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
9484 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
9485 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
9486 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
9487 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
9488 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
9490 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
9492 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
9493 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
9494 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
9495 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
9497 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
9498 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
9499 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
9502 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
9503 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
9504 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
9508 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
9509 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
9510 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
9512 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
9513 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
9514 certificate auxiliary information.
9517 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
9521 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
9522 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
9523 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
9524 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
9525 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
9526 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
9527 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
9530 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
9531 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
9534 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
9535 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
9536 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
9537 manpages and fix a few bugs.
9540 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
9543 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
9544 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
9547 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
9548 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
9549 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
9550 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
9551 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
9552 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
9553 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
9554 using the new 'x509' options.
9556 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
9557 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
9558 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
9559 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
9563 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
9564 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
9565 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
9566 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
9567 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
9570 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
9571 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
9572 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
9573 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
9574 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
9575 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
9576 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
9577 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
9578 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
9579 the key length and effective key length are equal.
9582 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
9583 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
9584 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
9585 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
9586 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
9587 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
9588 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9591 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9592 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9593 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9594 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9595 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9596 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9597 openssl.cnf for more info.
9600 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9601 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9602 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9603 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9604 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9605 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9606 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9607 md should be large enough anyway.
9610 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9611 for handling the random seed file.
9613 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9615 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9618 x509 (when signing).
9619 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9620 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9621 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9623 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9624 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9625 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9626 that support '-rand'.
9629 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9630 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9633 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9634 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9637 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9638 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9639 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9640 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9644 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9645 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9646 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9647 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9650 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9651 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9652 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9653 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9654 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9655 print out all the purposes.
9658 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9662 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9663 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9664 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9665 single function call.
9668 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9669 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9672 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9673 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9674 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9677 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9678 when producing the local key id.
9679 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9681 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9682 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9683 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9687 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9688 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9689 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9690 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9693 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9694 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9695 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9696 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9698 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9699 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9700 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9701 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9703 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9704 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9705 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9706 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9707 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9708 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9709 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9710 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9711 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9712 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9713 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9714 trivial: move one line.
9715 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9717 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9718 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9719 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9720 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9721 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9722 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9723 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9724 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9725 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9726 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9727 with an event loop for example.
9730 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9731 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9732 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9733 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9734 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9735 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9736 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9737 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9738 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9741 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9742 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9743 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9744 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9745 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9746 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9749 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9750 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9751 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9752 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9754 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9755 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9756 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9757 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9761 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9762 (still largely untested)
9765 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9766 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9769 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9770 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9773 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9774 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9775 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9778 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9779 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9780 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9781 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9782 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9785 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9788 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9789 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9790 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9791 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9792 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9796 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9797 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9800 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9803 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9804 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9805 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9806 are otherwise ignored at present.
9809 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9810 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9811 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9812 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9813 copied until the next read.
9816 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9817 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9818 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9821 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9822 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9823 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9824 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9825 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9826 associated functions.
9829 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9830 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9831 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9832 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9833 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9834 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9835 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9836 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9837 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9841 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9842 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9843 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9844 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9847 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9848 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9849 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9850 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9851 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9855 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9856 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9860 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9861 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9862 extensions to be obtained and added.
9865 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9866 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9869 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9871 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9872 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9874 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9875 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9877 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9881 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9882 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9883 DH parameters contain its length).
9885 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9886 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9887 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9888 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9889 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9890 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9891 utter importance to use
9892 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9894 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9895 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9896 attacks may become possible!
9899 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9902 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9903 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9906 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9907 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9908 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9912 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9913 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9914 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9915 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9916 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9917 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9918 private key operations.
9921 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9924 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9925 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9927 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9928 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9929 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9930 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9931 the password callback is called.
9932 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9934 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9936 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9937 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9938 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9939 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9940 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9941 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9944 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9945 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9946 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9947 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9948 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9949 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9952 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9955 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9956 delete an unused file.
9959 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9960 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9961 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9962 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9965 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9966 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9967 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9971 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9972 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9973 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9975 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9976 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9977 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9978 comparison" warnings.
9979 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9982 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9983 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9984 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9987 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9988 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9990 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9991 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9993 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9994 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9995 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9997 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9998 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9999 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10000 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10001 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10003 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10005 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10006 The interface is as follows:
10007 Applications can use
10008 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10009 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10010 "off" is now the default.
10011 The library internally uses
10012 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10013 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10014 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10016 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10017 even the default) are now avoided.
10019 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10020 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10021 than just having a counter.
10023 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10025 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10029 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10030 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10031 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10032 Initial "mode" flags are:
10034 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10035 a single record has been written.
10036 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10037 retries use the same buffer location.
10038 (But all of the contents must be
10042 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10045 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10046 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10048 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10049 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10050 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10053 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10054 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10056 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10058 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10059 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10060 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10061 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10063 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10064 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10066 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10067 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10068 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10069 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10070 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10071 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10074 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10075 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10076 necessary function names.
10079 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10080 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10081 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10082 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10085 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10086 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10087 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10090 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10091 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10092 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10093 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10095 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10099 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10100 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10101 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10104 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10105 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10109 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10110 for the encoded length.
10111 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10113 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10116 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10117 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10118 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10119 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10122 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10123 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10124 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10126 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10127 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10128 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10129 unusual formatting.
10132 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10133 to use the new extension code.
10136 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10137 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10138 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10142 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10143 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10144 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10148 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10151 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10152 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10153 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10156 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10157 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10158 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10159 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10162 *) DES library cleanups.
10165 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10166 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10167 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10168 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10169 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10173 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10174 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10177 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10178 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10179 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10180 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10181 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10182 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10183 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10184 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10185 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10188 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10189 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10190 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10191 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10192 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10193 value doesn't matter.
10196 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10200 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10201 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10202 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10203 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10205 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10208 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10209 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10210 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10212 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10213 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10215 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10218 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10221 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10224 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10228 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10230 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10232 *) Updated some demos.
10233 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10235 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10238 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10241 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10244 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10245 instead of using a fixed path.
10248 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10251 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10255 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10257 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10258 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10259 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10261 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10262 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10263 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10264 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10265 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10266 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10267 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10268 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10269 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10270 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10273 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10274 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10277 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
10278 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
10279 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
10280 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
10281 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
10283 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
10286 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
10287 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
10288 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
10291 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
10294 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
10295 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
10296 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
10297 key elements as negative integers.
10300 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
10301 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10304 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
10306 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
10307 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
10308 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
10311 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
10312 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
10313 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
10314 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
10315 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
10318 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
10321 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
10322 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
10323 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
10324 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10326 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
10327 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
10328 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
10330 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
10331 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
10332 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
10333 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
10334 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
10335 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
10336 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
10337 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
10338 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
10340 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
10341 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
10342 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
10343 does not influence s as it used to.
10345 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
10346 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
10347 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
10348 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
10349 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
10350 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
10353 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
10354 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
10355 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
10359 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
10360 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
10361 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
10365 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
10366 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
10367 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
10371 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
10372 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10375 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10376 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10378 *) Support Mingw32.
10381 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10382 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10384 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10385 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10387 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10390 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10393 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10394 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10396 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10397 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10398 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10402 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10403 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10404 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10405 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10406 now it really counts the depth.
10409 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10410 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10411 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10412 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10413 didn't match the private key).
10415 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10416 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10417 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10420 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
10423 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
10427 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
10428 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
10429 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
10432 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
10435 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
10436 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
10437 such as /usr/local/bin.
10440 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
10441 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10443 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
10446 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
10447 extension adding in x509 utility.
10450 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
10453 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
10457 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
10460 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
10461 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
10462 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
10463 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
10464 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
10465 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
10466 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
10467 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
10468 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
10469 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
10472 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
10475 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
10476 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
10479 *) Fix some race conditions.
10482 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
10483 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
10486 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
10489 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
10490 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
10491 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
10492 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
10494 *) Fix lots of warnings.
10495 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10497 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
10498 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
10499 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10501 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
10502 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10504 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
10507 *) Fix typos in error codes.
10508 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
10510 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
10513 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
10514 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10516 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
10517 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
10520 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
10521 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
10524 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
10525 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
10528 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
10529 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
10532 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
10533 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
10536 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
10537 support typesafe stack.
10540 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
10541 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
10543 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
10544 old X509V3 handling code.
10547 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
10550 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
10553 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
10556 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
10557 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
10559 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
10560 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
10561 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
10562 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
10563 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
10566 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
10567 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
10568 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
10569 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
10570 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10572 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
10573 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
10574 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
10575 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10577 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
10578 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
10579 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
10580 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10582 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
10583 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
10584 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
10585 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
10586 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
10587 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10590 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10591 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10594 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10595 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10598 *) Tweaks to Configure
10599 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10601 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10605 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10608 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10609 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10612 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10613 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10614 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10617 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10620 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10621 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10624 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10625 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10626 to library startup routines.
10629 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10630 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10631 codes along the way.
10634 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10635 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10636 objects to objects.h
10639 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10640 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10643 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10644 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10646 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10647 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10648 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10650 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10651 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10652 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10654 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10655 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10656 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10659 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10661 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10662 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10665 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10666 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10667 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10668 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10669 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10671 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10672 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10673 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10675 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10677 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10679 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10681 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10682 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10684 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10685 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10686 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10687 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10689 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10692 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10693 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10694 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10695 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10698 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10699 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10700 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10703 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10704 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10705 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10706 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10707 installed as `perl').
10708 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10710 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10711 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10713 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10714 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
10715 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10716 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10717 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10720 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10723 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10724 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10725 is horrible: I feel ill....
10728 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10729 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10730 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10731 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10734 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10735 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10737 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10738 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10739 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10740 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10742 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10743 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10744 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10745 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10746 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10747 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10749 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10751 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10752 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10754 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10755 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10757 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10760 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10761 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10765 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10766 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10767 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10768 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10769 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10770 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10771 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10772 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10773 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10774 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10775 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10777 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10780 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10781 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10782 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10783 for linking it into DSOs.
10784 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10786 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10790 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10791 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10792 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10793 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10794 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10795 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10797 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10798 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10799 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10800 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10801 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10802 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10803 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10805 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10806 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10807 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10811 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10812 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10813 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10814 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10817 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10818 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10819 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10820 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10821 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10825 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10826 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10827 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10828 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10829 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10831 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10832 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10833 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10835 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10836 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10838 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10839 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10840 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10841 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10842 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10845 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10846 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10847 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10848 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10849 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10850 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10851 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10854 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10856 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10857 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10860 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10861 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10863 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10864 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10867 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10868 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10869 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10870 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10871 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10873 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10874 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10875 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10876 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10877 no way to reconfigure them.
10878 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10879 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10880 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10881 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10882 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10883 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10885 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10886 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10887 recognized by the users.
10888 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10890 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10891 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10892 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10893 already masked variable.
10894 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10896 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10897 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10899 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10900 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10901 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10902 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10904 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10905 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10906 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10908 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10909 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10910 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10911 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10912 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10913 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10914 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10915 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10917 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10919 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10920 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10921 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10923 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10924 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10928 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10929 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10931 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10932 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10933 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10934 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10937 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10940 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10941 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10943 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10946 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10947 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10950 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10951 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10954 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10955 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10956 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10957 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10958 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10959 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10960 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10963 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10964 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10966 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10967 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10968 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10969 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10970 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10972 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10973 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10974 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10977 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10978 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10982 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10983 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10984 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10986 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10987 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10988 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10989 build instructions.
10992 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10993 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10994 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10995 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10998 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10999 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11000 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11001 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11004 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11005 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11006 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11007 so it wasn't spotted.
11008 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11010 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11011 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11012 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11013 vectors if you have them.
11016 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11017 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11020 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11021 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11022 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11023 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11025 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11026 it will update them.
11029 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11030 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11031 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11032 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11033 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11034 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11035 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11036 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11038 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11039 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11040 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11041 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11042 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11043 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11044 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11045 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11046 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11047 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11049 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11050 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11051 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11052 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11053 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11056 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11060 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11061 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11063 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11064 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11066 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11067 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11070 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11071 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11073 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11074 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11076 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11079 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11083 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11084 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11085 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11086 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11088 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11091 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11094 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11097 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11098 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11101 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11102 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11106 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11107 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11110 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11111 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11112 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11115 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11116 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11117 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11118 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11119 properly to be processed.
11122 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11123 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11124 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11127 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11128 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11130 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11131 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11132 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11133 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11134 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11135 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11136 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11137 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11138 or delete all the .err files.
11141 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11142 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11143 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11144 to regenerate it if needed.
11145 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11146 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11148 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11149 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11151 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11152 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11153 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11154 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11155 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11158 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11159 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11161 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11162 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11164 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11165 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11166 error, but didn't set one).
11167 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11169 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11172 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11173 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11176 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11177 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11179 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11180 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11181 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11182 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11183 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11184 OID is not part of the table.
11187 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11188 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11191 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11194 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11195 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11199 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11200 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11202 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11204 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11206 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11207 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11209 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11210 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11212 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11213 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11215 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11216 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11219 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11220 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11223 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11224 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11226 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11227 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11229 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11230 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11232 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11233 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11235 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11236 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11237 unused in the certificate verification process.
11238 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11240 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11241 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11244 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11245 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11246 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11248 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11249 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11250 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11251 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11252 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11254 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11255 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11258 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11261 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11264 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11265 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11267 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11270 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11273 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11276 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
11277 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
11278 other error libraries.
11281 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
11284 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
11285 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
11289 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
11290 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
11291 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
11292 the new set of documentation files.
11293 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11295 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
11296 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
11297 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
11298 number of arguments.
11299 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
11301 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
11304 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
11305 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
11306 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11308 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
11311 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
11315 unixware-2.0-pentium
11319 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
11320 before they are needed.
11323 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
11327 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
11329 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
11330 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
11331 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11333 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
11336 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
11337 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
11338 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11340 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
11341 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
11342 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
11344 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
11345 when "ssleay" is still not found.
11346 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11348 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
11349 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
11351 *) Updated the README file.
11352 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11354 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
11355 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
11356 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11358 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
11359 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
11360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11362 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
11363 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
11364 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
11365 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
11366 o removed obsolete TODO file
11367 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
11368 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11370 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
11371 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
11372 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
11373 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
11374 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
11375 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
11376 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11378 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
11381 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
11382 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
11383 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
11385 [The OpenSSL Project]
11388 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
11390 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
11393 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
11396 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
11397 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
11400 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
11401 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
11405 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
11407 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
11409 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
11412 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
11415 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
11418 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
11421 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
11424 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
11427 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
11430 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
11433 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
11436 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
11439 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
11442 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
11445 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
11448 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
11451 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
11454 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
11457 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
11460 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
11461 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
11462 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
11465 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
11466 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
11469 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
11472 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
11475 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
11476 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
11479 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
11482 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
11485 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
11486 bytes sent in the client random.
