25 ### Changes between 3.1.4 and 3.1.5 [xx XXX xxxx]
27 * A file in PKCS12 format can contain certificates and keys and may come from
28 an untrusted source. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be
29 NULL, but OpenSSL did not correctly check for this case. A fix has been
30 applied to prevent a NULL pointer dereference that results in OpenSSL
31 crashing. If an application processes PKCS12 files from an untrusted source
32 using the OpenSSL APIs then that application will be vulnerable to this
33 issue prior to this fix.
35 OpenSSL APIs that were vulnerable to this are: PKCS12_parse(),
36 PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes()
39 We have also fixed a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7(). However since this
40 function is related to writing data we do not consider it security
47 * When function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is called on RSA public keys,
48 a computation is done to confirm that the RSA modulus, n, is composite.
49 For valid RSA keys, n is a product of two or more large primes and this
50 computation completes quickly. However, if n is an overly large prime,
51 then this computation would take a long time.
53 An application that calls EVP_PKEY_public_check() and supplies an RSA key
54 obtained from an untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service
57 The function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is not called from other OpenSSL
58 functions however it is called from the OpenSSL pkey command line
59 application. For that reason that application is also vulnerable if used
60 with the "-pubin" and "-check" options on untrusted data.
62 To resolve this issue RSA keys larger than OPENSSL_RSA_MAX_MODULUS_BITS will
63 now fail the check immediately with an RSA_R_MODULUS_TOO_LARGE error reason.
69 * Restore the encoding of SM2 PrivateKeyInfo and SubjectPublicKeyInfo to
70 have the contained AlgorithmIdentifier.algorithm set to id-ecPublicKey
75 * The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation in OpenSSL
76 for PowerPC CPUs saves the contents of vector registers in different
77 order than they are restored. Thus the contents of some of these vector
78 registers is corrupted when returning to the caller. The vulnerable code is
79 used only on newer PowerPC processors supporting the PowerISA 2.07
82 The consequences of this kind of internal application state corruption can
83 be various - from no consequences, if the calling application does not
84 depend on the contents of non-volatile XMM registers at all, to the worst
85 consequences, where the attacker could get complete control of the
86 application process. However unless the compiler uses the vector registers
87 for storing pointers, the most likely consequence, if any, would be an
88 incorrect result of some application dependent calculations or a crash
89 leading to a denial of service.
95 * Fix excessive time spent in DH check / generation with large Q parameter
98 Applications that use the functions DH_generate_key() to generate an
99 X9.42 DH key may experience long delays. Likewise, applications that use
100 DH_check_pub_key(), DH_check_pub_key_ex() or EVP_PKEY_public_check()
101 to check an X9.42 DH key or X9.42 DH parameters may experience long delays.
102 Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been obtained from
103 an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service.
109 ### Changes between 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 [24 Oct 2023]
111 * Fix incorrect key and IV resizing issues when calling EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(),
112 EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() or EVP_CipherInit_ex2() with OSSL_PARAM parameters
113 that alter the key or IV length ([CVE-2023-5363]).
117 ### Changes between 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 [19 Sep 2023]
119 * Fix POLY1305 MAC implementation corrupting XMM registers on Windows.
121 The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation in OpenSSL
122 does not save the contents of non-volatile XMM registers on Windows 64
123 platform when calculating the MAC of data larger than 64 bytes. Before
124 returning to the caller all the XMM registers are set to zero rather than
125 restoring their previous content. The vulnerable code is used only on newer
126 x86_64 processors supporting the AVX512-IFMA instructions.
128 The consequences of this kind of internal application state corruption can
129 be various - from no consequences, if the calling application does not
130 depend on the contents of non-volatile XMM registers at all, to the worst
131 consequences, where the attacker could get complete control of the
132 application process. However given the contents of the registers are just
133 zeroized so the attacker cannot put arbitrary values inside, the most likely
134 consequence, if any, would be an incorrect result of some application
135 dependent calculations or a crash leading to a denial of service.
141 ### Changes between 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 [1 Aug 2023]
143 * Fix excessive time spent checking DH q parameter value.
145 The function DH_check() performs various checks on DH parameters. After
146 fixing CVE-2023-3446 it was discovered that a large q parameter value can
147 also trigger an overly long computation during some of these checks.
148 A correct q value, if present, cannot be larger than the modulus p
149 parameter, thus it is unnecessary to perform these checks if q is larger
152 If DH_check() is called with such q parameter value,
153 DH_CHECK_INVALID_Q_VALUE return flag is set and the computationally
154 intensive checks are skipped.
160 * Fix DH_check() excessive time with over sized modulus.
162 The function DH_check() performs various checks on DH parameters. One of
163 those checks confirms that the modulus ("p" parameter) is not too large.
164 Trying to use a very large modulus is slow and OpenSSL will not normally use
165 a modulus which is over 10,000 bits in length.
167 However the DH_check() function checks numerous aspects of the key or
168 parameters that have been supplied. Some of those checks use the supplied
169 modulus value even if it has already been found to be too large.
171 A new limit has been added to DH_check of 32,768 bits. Supplying a
172 key/parameters with a modulus over this size will simply cause DH_check() to
179 * Do not ignore empty associated data entries with AES-SIV.
181 The AES-SIV algorithm allows for authentication of multiple associated
182 data entries along with the encryption. To authenticate empty data the
183 application has to call `EVP_EncryptUpdate()` (or `EVP_CipherUpdate()`)
184 with NULL pointer as the output buffer and 0 as the input buffer length.
185 The AES-SIV implementation in OpenSSL just returns success for such call
186 instead of performing the associated data authentication operation.
187 The empty data thus will not be authenticated. ([CVE-2023-2975])
189 Thanks to Juerg Wullschleger (Google) for discovering the issue.
191 The fix changes the authentication tag value and the ciphertext for
192 applications that use empty associated data entries with AES-SIV.
193 To decrypt data encrypted with previous versions of OpenSSL the application
194 has to skip calls to `EVP_DecryptUpdate()` for empty associated data
199 * When building with the `enable-fips` option and using the resulting
200 FIPS provider, TLS 1.2 will, by default, mandate the use of an extended
201 master secret (FIPS 140-3 IG G.Q) and the Hash and HMAC DRBGs will
202 not operate with truncated digests (FIPS 140-3 IG G.R).
206 ### Changes between 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 [30 May 2023]
208 * Mitigate for the time it takes for `OBJ_obj2txt` to translate gigantic
209 OBJECT IDENTIFIER sub-identifiers to canonical numeric text form.
211 OBJ_obj2txt() would translate any size OBJECT IDENTIFIER to canonical
212 numeric text form. For gigantic sub-identifiers, this would take a very
213 long time, the time complexity being O(n^2) where n is the size of that
214 sub-identifier. ([CVE-2023-2650])
216 To mitigitate this, `OBJ_obj2txt()` will only translate an OBJECT
217 IDENTIFIER to canonical numeric text form if the size of that OBJECT
218 IDENTIFIER is 586 bytes or less, and fail otherwise.
220 The basis for this restriction is [RFC 2578 (STD 58), section 3.5]. OBJECT
221 IDENTIFIER values, which stipulates that OBJECT IDENTIFIERS may have at
222 most 128 sub-identifiers, and that the maximum value that each sub-
223 identifier may have is 2^32-1 (4294967295 decimal).
225 For each byte of every sub-identifier, only the 7 lower bits are part of
226 the value, so the maximum amount of bytes that an OBJECT IDENTIFIER with
227 these restrictions may occupy is 32 * 128 / 7, which is approximately 586
232 * Multiple algorithm implementation fixes for ARM BE platforms.
236 * Added a -pedantic option to fipsinstall that adjusts the various
237 settings to ensure strict FIPS compliance rather than backwards
242 * Fixed buffer overread in AES-XTS decryption on ARM 64 bit platforms which
243 happens if the buffer size is 4 mod 5 in 16 byte AES blocks. This can
244 trigger a crash of an application using AES-XTS decryption if the memory
245 just after the buffer being decrypted is not mapped.
246 Thanks to Anton Romanov (Amazon) for discovering the issue.
251 * Reworked the Fix for the Timing Oracle in RSA Decryption ([CVE-2022-4304]).
252 The previous fix for this timing side channel turned out to cause
253 a severe 2-3x performance regression in the typical use case
254 compared to 3.0.7. The new fix uses existing constant time
255 code paths, and restores the previous performance level while
256 fully eliminating all existing timing side channels.
257 The fix was developed by Bernd Edlinger with testing support
262 * Add FIPS provider configuration option to disallow the use of
263 truncated digests with Hash and HMAC DRBGs (q.v. FIPS 140-3 IG D.R.).
264 The option '-no_drbg_truncated_digests' can optionally be
265 supplied to 'openssl fipsinstall'.
269 * Corrected documentation of X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() to mention
270 that it does not enable policy checking. Thanks to David Benjamin for
271 discovering this issue.
276 * Fixed an issue where invalid certificate policies in leaf certificates are
277 silently ignored by OpenSSL and other certificate policy checks are skipped
278 for that certificate. A malicious CA could use this to deliberately assert
279 invalid certificate policies in order to circumvent policy checking on the
280 certificate altogether.
285 * Limited the number of nodes created in a policy tree to mitigate
286 against CVE-2023-0464. The default limit is set to 1000 nodes, which
287 should be sufficient for most installations. If required, the limit
288 can be adjusted by setting the OPENSSL_POLICY_TREE_NODES_MAX build
289 time define to a desired maximum number of nodes or zero to allow
295 ### Changes between 3.0 and 3.1.0 [14 Mar 2023]
297 * Add FIPS provider configuration option to enforce the
298 Extended Master Secret (EMS) check during the TLS1_PRF KDF.
299 The option '-ems-check' can optionally be supplied to
300 'openssl fipsinstall'.
304 * The FIPS provider includes a few non-approved algorithms for
305 backward compatibility purposes and the "fips=yes" property query
306 must be used for all algorithm fetches to ensure FIPS compliance.
308 The algorithms that are included but not approved are Triple DES ECB,
309 Triple DES CBC and EdDSA.
313 * Added support for KMAC in KBKDF.
317 * RNDR and RNDRRS support in provider functions to provide
318 random number generation for Arm CPUs (aarch64).
322 * s_client and s_server apps now explicitly say when the TLS version
323 does not include the renegotiation mechanism. This avoids confusion
324 between that scenario versus when the TLS version includes secure
325 renegotiation but the peer lacks support for it.
329 * AES-GCM enabled with AVX512 vAES and vPCLMULQDQ.
331 *Tomasz Kantecki, Andrey Matyukov*
333 * The various OBJ_* functions have been made thread safe.
337 * Parallel dual-prime 1536/2048-bit modular exponentiation for
338 AVX512_IFMA capable processors.
340 *Sergey Kirillov, Andrey Matyukov (Intel Corp)*
342 * The functions `OPENSSL_LH_stats`, `OPENSSL_LH_node_stats`,
343 `OPENSSL_LH_node_usage_stats`, `OPENSSL_LH_stats_bio`,
344 `OPENSSL_LH_node_stats_bio` and `OPENSSL_LH_node_usage_stats_bio` are now
345 marked deprecated from OpenSSL 3.1 onwards and can be disabled by defining
346 `OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED_3_1`.
348 The macro `DEFINE_LHASH_OF` is now deprecated in favour of the macro
349 `DEFINE_LHASH_OF_EX`, which omits the corresponding type-specific function
350 definitions for these functions regardless of whether
351 `OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED_3_1` is defined.
353 Users of `DEFINE_LHASH_OF` may start receiving deprecation warnings for these
354 functions regardless of whether they are using them. It is recommended that
355 users transition to the new macro, `DEFINE_LHASH_OF_EX`.
359 * When generating safe-prime DH parameters set the recommended private key
360 length equivalent to minimum key lengths as in RFC 7919.
364 * Change the default salt length for PKCS#1 RSASSA-PSS signatures to the
365 maximum size that is smaller or equal to the digest length to comply with
366 FIPS 186-4 section 5. This is implemented by a new option
367 `OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_AUTO_DIGEST_MAX` ("auto-digestmax") for the
368 `rsa_pss_saltlen` parameter, which is now the default. Signature
369 verification is not affected by this change and continues to work as before.
376 For OpenSSL 3.0 a [Migration guide][] has been added, so the CHANGES entries
377 listed here are only a brief description.
378 The migration guide contains more detailed information related to new features,
379 breaking changes, and mappings for the large list of deprecated functions.

383 ### Changes between 3.0.7 and 3.0.8 [7 Feb 2023]
385 * Fixed NULL dereference during PKCS7 data verification.
387 A NULL pointer can be dereferenced when signatures are being
388 verified on PKCS7 signed or signedAndEnveloped data. In case the hash
389 algorithm used for the signature is known to the OpenSSL library but
390 the implementation of the hash algorithm is not available the digest
391 initialization will fail. There is a missing check for the return
392 value from the initialization function which later leads to invalid
393 usage of the digest API most likely leading to a crash.
396 PKCS7 data is processed by the SMIME library calls and also by the
397 time stamp (TS) library calls. The TLS implementation in OpenSSL does
398 not call these functions however third party applications would be
399 affected if they call these functions to verify signatures on untrusted
404 * Fixed X.400 address type confusion in X.509 GeneralName.
406 There is a type confusion vulnerability relating to X.400 address processing
407 inside an X.509 GeneralName. X.400 addresses were parsed as an ASN1_STRING
408 but the public structure definition for GENERAL_NAME incorrectly specified
409 the type of the x400Address field as ASN1_TYPE. This field is subsequently
410 interpreted by the OpenSSL function GENERAL_NAME_cmp as an ASN1_TYPE rather
413 When CRL checking is enabled (i.e. the application sets the
414 X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK flag), this vulnerability may allow an attacker to
415 pass arbitrary pointers to a memcmp call, enabling them to read memory
416 contents or enact a denial of service.
421 * Fixed NULL dereference validating DSA public key.
423 An invalid pointer dereference on read can be triggered when an
424 application tries to check a malformed DSA public key by the
425 EVP_PKEY_public_check() function. This will most likely lead
426 to an application crash. This function can be called on public
427 keys supplied from untrusted sources which could allow an attacker
428 to cause a denial of service attack.
430 The TLS implementation in OpenSSL does not call this function
431 but applications might call the function if there are additional
432 security requirements imposed by standards such as FIPS 140-3.
435 *Shane Lontis, Tomáš Mráz*
437 * Fixed Invalid pointer dereference in d2i_PKCS7 functions.
439 An invalid pointer dereference on read can be triggered when an
440 application tries to load malformed PKCS7 data with the
441 d2i_PKCS7(), d2i_PKCS7_bio() or d2i_PKCS7_fp() functions.
443 The result of the dereference is an application crash which could
444 lead to a denial of service attack. The TLS implementation in OpenSSL
445 does not call this function however third party applications might
446 call these functions on untrusted data.
451 * Fixed Use-after-free following BIO_new_NDEF.
453 The public API function BIO_new_NDEF is a helper function used for
454 streaming ASN.1 data via a BIO. It is primarily used internally to OpenSSL
455 to support the SMIME, CMS and PKCS7 streaming capabilities, but may also
456 be called directly by end user applications.
458 The function receives a BIO from the caller, prepends a new BIO_f_asn1
459 filter BIO onto the front of it to form a BIO chain, and then returns
460 the new head of the BIO chain to the caller. Under certain conditions,
461 for example if a CMS recipient public key is invalid, the new filter BIO
462 is freed and the function returns a NULL result indicating a failure.
463 However, in this case, the BIO chain is not properly cleaned up and the
464 BIO passed by the caller still retains internal pointers to the previously
465 freed filter BIO. If the caller then goes on to call BIO_pop() on the BIO
466 then a use-after-free will occur. This will most likely result in a crash.
469 *Viktor Dukhovni, Matt Caswell*
471 * Fixed Double free after calling PEM_read_bio_ex.
473 The function PEM_read_bio_ex() reads a PEM file from a BIO and parses and
474 decodes the "name" (e.g. "CERTIFICATE"), any header data and the payload
475 data. If the function succeeds then the "name_out", "header" and "data"
476 arguments are populated with pointers to buffers containing the relevant
477 decoded data. The caller is responsible for freeing those buffers. It is
478 possible to construct a PEM file that results in 0 bytes of payload data.
479 In this case PEM_read_bio_ex() will return a failure code but will populate
480 the header argument with a pointer to a buffer that has already been freed.
481 If the caller also frees this buffer then a double free will occur. This
482 will most likely lead to a crash.
484 The functions PEM_read_bio() and PEM_read() are simple wrappers around
485 PEM_read_bio_ex() and therefore these functions are also directly affected.
487 These functions are also called indirectly by a number of other OpenSSL
488 functions including PEM_X509_INFO_read_bio_ex() and
489 SSL_CTX_use_serverinfo_file() which are also vulnerable. Some OpenSSL
490 internal uses of these functions are not vulnerable because the caller does
491 not free the header argument if PEM_read_bio_ex() returns a failure code.
494 *Kurt Roeckx, Matt Caswell*
496 * Fixed Timing Oracle in RSA Decryption.
498 A timing based side channel exists in the OpenSSL RSA Decryption
499 implementation which could be sufficient to recover a plaintext across
500 a network in a Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve a successful
501 decryption an attacker would have to be able to send a very large number
502 of trial messages for decryption. The vulnerability affects all RSA padding
503 modes: PKCS#1 v1.5, RSA-OEAP and RSASVE.
506 *Dmitry Belyavsky, Hubert Kario*
508 * Fixed X.509 Name Constraints Read Buffer Overflow.
510 A read buffer overrun can be triggered in X.509 certificate verification,
511 specifically in name constraint checking. The read buffer overrun might
512 result in a crash which could lead to a denial of service attack.
513 In a TLS client, this can be triggered by connecting to a malicious
514 server. In a TLS server, this can be triggered if the server requests
515 client authentication and a malicious client connects.
520 * Fixed X.509 Policy Constraints Double Locking security issue.
522 If an X.509 certificate contains a malformed policy constraint and
523 policy processing is enabled, then a write lock will be taken twice
524 recursively. On some operating systems (most widely: Windows) this
525 results in a denial of service when the affected process hangs. Policy
526 processing being enabled on a publicly facing server is not considered
527 to be a common setup.
532 * Our provider implementations of `OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_EXPORT` and
533 `OSSL_FUNC_KEYMGMT_GET_PARAMS` for EC and SM2 keys now honor
534 `OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_POINT_CONVERSION_FORMAT` as set (and
535 default to `POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED`) when exporting
536 `OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PUB_KEY`, instead of unconditionally using
537 `POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED` as in previous 3.x releases.
538 For symmetry, our implementation of `EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD->export_to`
539 for legacy EC and SM2 keys is also changed similarly to honor the
540 equivalent conversion format flag as specified in the underlying
541 `EC_KEY` object being exported to a provider, when this function is
542 called through `EVP_PKEY_export()`.
546 * Fixed a type confusion vulnerability relating to X.400 address processing
547 inside an X.509 GeneralName. X.400 addresses were parsed as an `ASN1_STRING`
548 but subsequently interpreted by `GENERAL_NAME_cmp` as an `ASN1_TYPE`. This
549 vulnerability may allow an attacker who can provide a certificate chain and
550 CRL (neither of which need have a valid signature) to pass arbitrary pointers
551 to a `memcmp` call, creating a possible read primitive, subject to some
552 constraints. Refer to the advisory for more information. Thanks to David
553 Benjamin for discovering this issue. ([CVE-2023-0286])
555 This issue has been fixed by changing the public header file definition of
556 `GENERAL_NAME` so that `x400Address` reflects the implementation. It was not
557 possible for any existing application to successfully use the existing
558 definition; however, if any application references the `x400Address` field
559 (e.g. in dead code), note that the type of this field has changed. There is
564 ### Changes between 3.0.6 and 3.0.7 [1 Nov 2022]
566 * Fixed two buffer overflows in punycode decoding functions.
568 A buffer overrun can be triggered in X.509 certificate verification,
569 specifically in name constraint checking. Note that this occurs after
570 certificate chain signature verification and requires either a CA to
571 have signed the malicious certificate or for the application to continue
572 certificate verification despite failure to construct a path to a trusted
575 In a TLS client, this can be triggered by connecting to a malicious
576 server. In a TLS server, this can be triggered if the server requests
577 client authentication and a malicious client connects.
579 An attacker can craft a malicious email address to overflow
580 an arbitrary number of bytes containing the `.` character (decimal 46)
581 on the stack. This buffer overflow could result in a crash (causing a
585 An attacker can craft a malicious email address to overflow four
586 attacker-controlled bytes on the stack. This buffer overflow could
587 result in a crash (causing a denial of service) or potentially remote code
588 execution depending on stack layout for any given platform/compiler.
593 * Removed all references to invalid OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA names for CRT
594 parameters in OpenSSL code.
595 Applications should not use the names OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_FACTOR,
596 OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_EXPONENT and OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_COEFFICIENT.
597 Use the numbered names such as OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_RSA_FACTOR1 instead.
598 Using these invalid names may cause algorithms to use slower methods
599 that ignore the CRT parameters.
603 * Fixed a regression introduced in 3.0.6 version raising errors on some stack
608 * Fixed a regression introduced in 3.0.6 version not refreshing the certificate
609 data to be signed before signing the certificate.
613 * Added RIPEMD160 to the default provider.
617 * Ensured that the key share group sent or accepted for the key exchange
618 is allowed for the protocol version.
622 ### Changes between 3.0.5 and 3.0.6 [11 Oct 2022]
624 * OpenSSL supports creating a custom cipher via the legacy
625 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() function and associated function calls. This function
626 was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and application authors are instead encouraged
627 to use the new provider mechanism in order to implement custom ciphers.
629 OpenSSL versions 3.0.0 to 3.0.5 incorrectly handle legacy custom ciphers
630 passed to the EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() and
631 EVP_CipherInit_ex2() functions (as well as other similarly named encryption
632 and decryption initialisation functions). Instead of using the custom cipher
633 directly it incorrectly tries to fetch an equivalent cipher from the
634 available providers. An equivalent cipher is found based on the NID passed to
635 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(). This NID is supposed to represent the unique NID for a
636 given cipher. However it is possible for an application to incorrectly pass
637 NID_undef as this value in the call to EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(). When NID_undef
638 is used in this way the OpenSSL encryption/decryption initialisation function
639 will match the NULL cipher as being equivalent and will fetch this from the
640 available providers. This will succeed if the default provider has been
641 loaded (or if a third party provider has been loaded that offers this
642 cipher). Using the NULL cipher means that the plaintext is emitted as the
645 Applications are only affected by this issue if they call
646 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() using NID_undef and subsequently use it in a call to an
647 encryption/decryption initialisation function. Applications that only use
648 SSL/TLS are not impacted by this issue.
653 * Fix LLVM vs Apple LLVM version numbering confusion that caused build failures
658 * Fixed the linux-mips64 Configure target which was missing the
659 SIXTY_FOUR_BIT bn_ops flag. This was causing heap corruption on that
664 * Fix handling of a ticket key callback that returns 0 in TLSv1.3 to not send a
669 * Correctly handle a retransmitted ClientHello in DTLS
673 * Fixed detection of ktls support in cross-compile environment on Linux
677 * Fixed some regressions and test failures when running the 3.0.0 FIPS provider
682 * Fixed SSL_pending() and SSL_has_pending() with DTLS which were failing to
683 report correct results in some cases
687 * Fix UWP builds by defining VirtualLock
691 * For known safe primes use the minimum key length according to RFC 7919.
692 Longer private key sizes unnecessarily raise the cycles needed to compute the
693 shared secret without any increase of the real security. This fixes a
694 regression from 1.1.1 where these shorter keys were generated for the known
699 * Added the loongarch64 target
703 * Fixed EC ASM flag passing. Flags for ASM implementations of EC curves were
704 only passed to the FIPS provider and not to the default or legacy provider.
708 * Fixed reported performance degradation on aarch64. Restored the
709 implementation prior to commit 2621751 ("aes/asm/aesv8-armx.pl: avoid
710 32-bit lane assignment in CTR mode") for 64bit targets only, since it is
711 reportedly 2-17% slower and the silicon errata only affects 32bit targets.
712 The new algorithm is still used for 32 bit targets.
716 * Added a missing header for memcmp that caused compilation failure on some
721 ### Changes between 3.0.4 and 3.0.5 [5 Jul 2022]
723 * The OpenSSL 3.0.4 release introduced a serious bug in the RSA
724 implementation for X86_64 CPUs supporting the AVX512IFMA instructions.
725 This issue makes the RSA implementation with 2048 bit private keys
726 incorrect on such machines and memory corruption will happen during
727 the computation. As a consequence of the memory corruption an attacker
728 may be able to trigger a remote code execution on the machine performing
731 SSL/TLS servers or other servers using 2048 bit RSA private keys running
732 on machines supporting AVX512IFMA instructions of the X86_64 architecture
733 are affected by this issue.
738 * AES OCB mode for 32-bit x86 platforms using the AES-NI assembly optimised
739 implementation would not encrypt the entirety of the data under some
740 circumstances. This could reveal sixteen bytes of data that was
741 preexisting in the memory that wasn't written. In the special case of
742 "in place" encryption, sixteen bytes of the plaintext would be revealed.
744 Since OpenSSL does not support OCB based cipher suites for TLS and DTLS,
745 they are both unaffected.
748 *Alex Chernyakhovsky, David Benjamin, Alejandro Sedeño*
750 ### Changes between 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 [21 Jun 2022]
752 * In addition to the c_rehash shell command injection identified in
753 CVE-2022-1292, further bugs where the c_rehash script does not
754 properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection have been
757 When the CVE-2022-1292 was fixed it was not discovered that there
758 are other places in the script where the file names of certificates
759 being hashed were possibly passed to a command executed through the shell.
761 This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where
762 it is automatically executed. On such operating systems, an attacker
763 could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script.
765 Use of the c_rehash script is considered obsolete and should be replaced
766 by the OpenSSL rehash command line tool.
769 *Daniel Fiala, Tomáš Mráz*
771 * Case insensitive string comparison no longer uses locales. It has instead
772 been directly implemented.
776 ### Changes between 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 [3 May 2022]
778 * Case insensitive string comparison is reimplemented via new locale-agnostic
779 comparison functions OPENSSL_str[n]casecmp always using the POSIX locale for
780 comparison. The previous implementation had problems when the Turkish locale
785 * Fixed a bug in the c_rehash script which was not properly sanitising shell
786 metacharacters to prevent command injection. This script is distributed by
787 some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically executed. On
788 such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the
789 privileges of the script.
791 Use of the c_rehash script is considered obsolete and should be replaced
792 by the OpenSSL rehash command line tool.
797 * Fixed a bug in the function `OCSP_basic_verify` that verifies the signer
798 certificate on an OCSP response. The bug caused the function in the case
799 where the (non-default) flag OCSP_NOCHECKS is used to return a postivie
800 response (meaning a successful verification) even in the case where the
801 response signing certificate fails to verify.
803 It is anticipated that most users of `OCSP_basic_verify` will not use the
804 OCSP_NOCHECKS flag. In this case the `OCSP_basic_verify` function will return
805 a negative value (indicating a fatal error) in the case of a certificate
806 verification failure. The normal expected return value in this case would be
809 This issue also impacts the command line OpenSSL "ocsp" application. When
810 verifying an ocsp response with the "-no_cert_checks" option the command line
811 application will report that the verification is successful even though it
812 has in fact failed. In this case the incorrect successful response will also
813 be accompanied by error messages showing the failure and contradicting the
814 apparently successful result.
819 * Fixed a bug where the RC4-MD5 ciphersuite incorrectly used the
820 AAD data as the MAC key. This made the MAC key trivially predictable.
822 An attacker could exploit this issue by performing a man-in-the-middle attack
823 to modify data being sent from one endpoint to an OpenSSL 3.0 recipient such
824 that the modified data would still pass the MAC integrity check.
826 Note that data sent from an OpenSSL 3.0 endpoint to a non-OpenSSL 3.0
827 endpoint will always be rejected by the recipient and the connection will
828 fail at that point. Many application protocols require data to be sent from
829 the client to the server first. Therefore, in such a case, only an OpenSSL
830 3.0 server would be impacted when talking to a non-OpenSSL 3.0 client.
832 If both endpoints are OpenSSL 3.0 then the attacker could modify data being
833 sent in both directions. In this case both clients and servers could be
834 affected, regardless of the application protocol.
836 Note that in the absence of an attacker this bug means that an OpenSSL 3.0
837 endpoint communicating with a non-OpenSSL 3.0 endpoint will fail to complete
838 the handshake when using this ciphersuite.
840 The confidentiality of data is not impacted by this issue, i.e. an attacker
841 cannot decrypt data that has been encrypted using this ciphersuite - they can
844 In order for this attack to work both endpoints must legitimately negotiate
845 the RC4-MD5 ciphersuite. This ciphersuite is not compiled by default in
846 OpenSSL 3.0, and is not available within the default provider or the default
847 ciphersuite list. This ciphersuite will never be used if TLSv1.3 has been
848 negotiated. In order for an OpenSSL 3.0 endpoint to use this ciphersuite the
849 following must have occurred:
851 1) OpenSSL must have been compiled with the (non-default) compile time option
852 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers
854 2) OpenSSL must have had the legacy provider explicitly loaded (either
855 through application code or via configuration)
857 3) The ciphersuite must have been explicitly added to the ciphersuite list
859 4) The libssl security level must have been set to 0 (default is 1)
861 5) A version of SSL/TLS below TLSv1.3 must have been negotiated
863 6) Both endpoints must negotiate the RC4-MD5 ciphersuite in preference to any
864 others that both endpoints have in common
869 * Fix a bug in the OPENSSL_LH_flush() function that breaks reuse of the memory
870 occupied by the removed hash table entries.
872 This function is used when decoding certificates or keys. If a long lived
873 process periodically decodes certificates or keys its memory usage will
874 expand without bounds and the process might be terminated by the operating
875 system causing a denial of service. Also traversing the empty hash table
876 entries will take increasingly more time.
878 Typically such long lived processes might be TLS clients or TLS servers
879 configured to accept client certificate authentication.
882 *Hugo Landau, Aliaksei Levin*
884 * The functions `OPENSSL_LH_stats` and `OPENSSL_LH_stats_bio` now only report
885 the `num_items`, `num_nodes` and `num_alloc_nodes` statistics. All other
886 statistics are no longer supported. For compatibility, these statistics are
887 still listed in the output but are now always reported as zero.
891 ### Changes between 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 [15 Mar 2022]
893 * Fixed a bug in the BN_mod_sqrt() function that can cause it to loop forever
894 for non-prime moduli.
896 Internally this function is used when parsing certificates that contain
897 elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve
898 parameters with a base point encoded in compressed form.
900 It is possible to trigger the infinite loop by crafting a certificate that
901 has invalid explicit curve parameters.
903 Since certificate parsing happens prior to verification of the certificate
904 signature, any process that parses an externally supplied certificate may thus
905 be subject to a denial of service attack. The infinite loop can also be
906 reached when parsing crafted private keys as they can contain explicit
907 elliptic curve parameters.
909 Thus vulnerable situations include:
911 - TLS clients consuming server certificates
912 - TLS servers consuming client certificates
913 - Hosting providers taking certificates or private keys from customers
914 - Certificate authorities parsing certification requests from subscribers
915 - Anything else which parses ASN.1 elliptic curve parameters
917 Also any other applications that use the BN_mod_sqrt() where the attacker
918 can control the parameter values are vulnerable to this DoS issue.
923 * Add ciphersuites based on DHE_PSK (RFC 4279) and ECDHE_PSK (RFC 5489)
924 to the list of ciphersuites providing Perfect Forward Secrecy as
925 required by SECLEVEL >= 3.
927 *Dmitry Belyavskiy, Nicola Tuveri*
929 * Made the AES constant time code for no-asm configurations
930 optional due to the resulting 95% performance degradation.
931 The AES constant time code can be enabled, for no assembly
932 builds, with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_AES_CONST_TIME
936 * Fixed PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() to make it possible to use empty
941 * The negative return value handling of the certificate verification callback
942 was reverted. The replacement is to set the verification retry state with
943 the SSL_set_retry_verify() function.
947 ### Changes between 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 [14 Dec 2021]
949 * Fixed invalid handling of X509_verify_cert() internal errors in libssl
950 Internally libssl in OpenSSL calls X509_verify_cert() on the client side to
951 verify a certificate supplied by a server. That function may return a
952 negative return value to indicate an internal error (for example out of
953 memory). Such a negative return value is mishandled by OpenSSL and will cause
954 an IO function (such as SSL_connect() or SSL_do_handshake()) to not indicate
955 success and a subsequent call to SSL_get_error() to return the value
956 SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY. This return value is only supposed to be
957 returned by OpenSSL if the application has previously called
958 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(). Since most applications do not do this
959 the SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY return value from SSL_get_error() will be
960 totally unexpected and applications may not behave correctly as a result. The
961 exact behaviour will depend on the application but it could result in
962 crashes, infinite loops or other similar incorrect responses.
964 This issue is made more serious in combination with a separate bug in OpenSSL
965 3.0 that will cause X509_verify_cert() to indicate an internal error when
966 processing a certificate chain. This will occur where a certificate does not
967 include the Subject Alternative Name extension but where a Certificate
968 Authority has enforced name constraints. This issue can occur even with valid
974 * Corrected a few file name and file reference bugs in the build,
975 installation and setup scripts, which lead to installation verification
976 failures. Slightly enhanced the installation verification script.
980 * Fixed EVP_PKEY_eq() to make it possible to use it with strictly private
985 * Fixed PVK encoder to properly query for the passphrase.
989 * Multiple fixes in the OSSL_HTTP API functions.
993 * Allow sign extension in OSSL_PARAM_allocate_from_text() for the
994 OSSL_PARAM_INTEGER data type and return error on negative numbers
995 used with the OSSL_PARAM_UNSIGNED_INTEGER data type. Make
996 OSSL_PARAM_BLD_push_BN{,_pad}() return an error on negative numbers.
1000 * Allow copying uninitialized digest contexts with EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex.
1004 * Fixed detection of ARMv7 and ARM64 CPU features on FreeBSD.
1008 * Multiple threading fixes.
1012 * Added NULL digest implementation to keep compatibility with 1.1.1 version.
1016 * Allow fetching an operation from the provider that owns an unexportable key
1017 as a fallback if that is still allowed by the property query.
1021 ### Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [7 sep 2021]
1023 * TLS_MAX_VERSION, DTLS_MAX_VERSION and DTLS_MIN_VERSION constants are now
1028 * The `OPENSSL_s390xcap` environment variable can be used to set bits in the
1029 S390X capability vector to zero. This simplifies testing of different code
1030 paths on S390X architecture.
1034 * Encrypting more than 2^64 TLS records with AES-GCM is disallowed
1035 as per FIPS 140-2 IG A.5 "Key/IV Pair Uniqueness Requirements from
1036 SP 800-38D". The communication will fail at this point.
1040 * The EC_GROUP_clear_free() function is deprecated as there is nothing
1041 confidential in EC_GROUP data.
1045 * The byte order mark (BOM) character is ignored if encountered at the
1046 beginning of a PEM-formatted file.
1050 * Added CMS support for the Russian GOST algorithms.
1054 * Due to move of the implementation of cryptographic operations
1055 to the providers, validation of various operation parameters can
1056 be postponed until the actual operation is executed where previously
1057 it happened immediately when an operation parameter was set.
1059 For example when setting an unsupported curve with
1060 EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ec_paramgen_curve_nid() this function call will not
1061 fail but later keygen operations with the EVP_PKEY_CTX will fail.
1063 *OpenSSL team members and many third party contributors*
1065 * The EVP_get_cipherbyname() function will return NULL for algorithms such as
1066 "AES-128-SIV", "AES-128-CBC-CTS" and "CAMELLIA-128-CBC-CTS" which were
1067 previously only accessible via low-level interfaces. Use EVP_CIPHER_fetch()
1068 instead to retrieve these algorithms from a provider.
1072 * On build targets where the multilib postfix is set in the build
1073 configuration the libdir directory was changing based on whether
1074 the lib directory with the multilib postfix exists on the system
1075 or not. This unpredictable behavior was removed and eventual
1076 multilib postfix is now always added to the default libdir. Use
1077 `--libdir=lib` to override the libdir if adding the postfix is
1082 * The triple DES key wrap functionality now conforms to RFC 3217 but is
1083 no longer interoperable with OpenSSL 1.1.1.
1087 * The ERR_GET_FUNC() function was removed. With the loss of meaningful
1088 function codes, this function can only cause problems for calling
1093 * Add a configurable flag to output date formats as ISO 8601. Does not
1094 change the default date format.
1098 * Version of MSVC earlier than 1300 could get link warnings, which could
1099 be suppressed if the undocumented -DI_CAN_LIVE_WITH_LNK4049 was set.
1100 Support for this flag has been removed.
1104 * Rework and make DEBUG macros consistent. Remove unused -DCONF_DEBUG,
1105 -DBN_CTX_DEBUG, and REF_PRINT. Add a new tracing category and use it for
1106 printing reference counts. Rename -DDEBUG_UNUSED to -DUNUSED_RESULT_DEBUG
1107 Fix BN_DEBUG_RAND so it compiles and, when set, force DEBUG_RAND to be set
1108 also. Rename engine_debug_ref to be ENGINE_REF_PRINT also for consistency.
1112 * The signatures of the functions to get and set options on SSL and
1113 SSL_CTX objects changed from "unsigned long" to "uint64_t" type.
1114 Some source code changes may be required.
1118 * The public definitions of conf_method_st and conf_st have been
1119 deprecated. They will be made opaque in a future release.
1121 *Rich Salz and Tomáš Mráz*
1123 * Client-initiated renegotiation is disabled by default. To allow it, use
1124 the -client_renegotiation option, the SSL_OP_ALLOW_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION
1125 flag, or the "ClientRenegotiation" config parameter as appropriate.
1129 * Add "abspath" and "includedir" pragma's to config files, to prevent,
1130 or modify relative pathname inclusion.
1134 * OpenSSL includes a cryptographic module that is intended to be FIPS 140-2
1135 validated. Please consult the README-FIPS and
1136 README-PROVIDERS files, as well as the migration guide.
1138 *OpenSSL team members and many third party contributors*
1140 * For the key types DH and DHX the allowed settable parameters are now different.
1144 * The openssl commands that read keys, certificates, and CRLs now
1145 automatically detect the PEM or DER format of the input files.
1147 *David von Oheimb, Richard Levitte, and Tomáš Mráz*
1149 * Added enhanced PKCS#12 APIs which accept a library context.
1153 * The default manual page suffix ($MANSUFFIX) has been changed to "ossl"
1157 * Added support for Kernel TLS (KTLS).
1159 *Boris Pismenny, John Baldwin and Andrew Gallatin*
1161 * Support for RFC 5746 secure renegotiation is now required by default for
1162 SSL or TLS connections to succeed.
1166 * The signature of the `copy` functional parameter of the
1167 EVP_PKEY_meth_set_copy() function has changed so its `src` argument is
1168 now `const EVP_PKEY_CTX *` instead of `EVP_PKEY_CTX *`. Similarly
1169 the signature of the `pub_decode` functional parameter of the
1170 EVP_PKEY_asn1_set_public() function has changed so its `pub` argument is
1171 now `const X509_PUBKEY *` instead of `X509_PUBKEY *`.
1175 * The error return values from some control calls (ctrl) have changed.
1179 * A public key check is now performed during EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer().
1183 * Many functions in the EVP_ namespace that are getters of values from
1184 implementations or contexts were renamed to include get or get0 in their
1185 names. Old names are provided as macro aliases for compatibility and
1190 * The EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_ENCRYPT, EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_DECRYPT,
1191 EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN, EVP_PKEY_CTRL_CMS_ENCRYPT,
1192 EVP_PKEY_CTRL_CMS_DECRYPT, and EVP_PKEY_CTRL_CMS_SIGN control operations
1197 * The EVP_PKEY_public_check() and EVP_PKEY_param_check() functions now work for
1200 * The output from the command line applications may have minor
1205 * The output from numerous "printing" may have minor changes.
1209 * Windows thread synchronization uses read/write primitives (SRWLock) when
1210 supported by the OS, otherwise CriticalSection continues to be used.
1214 * Add filter BIO BIO_f_readbuffer() that allows BIO_tell() and BIO_seek() to
1215 work on read only BIO source/sinks that do not support these functions.
1216 This allows piping or redirection of a file BIO using stdin to be buffered
1217 into memory. This is used internally in OSSL_DECODER_from_bio().
1221 * OSSL_STORE_INFO_get_type() may now return an additional value. In 1.1.1
1222 this function would return one of the values OSSL_STORE_INFO_NAME,
1223 OSSL_STORE_INFO_PKEY, OSSL_STORE_INFO_PARAMS, OSSL_STORE_INFO_CERT or
1224 OSSL_STORE_INFO_CRL. Decoded public keys would previously have been reported
1225 as type OSSL_STORE_INFO_PKEY in 1.1.1. In 3.0 decoded public keys are now
1226 reported as having the new type OSSL_STORE_INFO_PUBKEY. Applications
1227 using this function should be amended to handle the changed return value.
1231 * Improved adherence to Enhanced Security Services (ESS, RFC 2634 and RFC 5035)
1232 for the TSP and CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures (CAdES) implementations.
1233 As required by RFC 5035 check both ESSCertID and ESSCertIDv2 if both present.
1234 Correct the semantics of checking the validation chain in case ESSCertID{,v2}
1235 contains more than one certificate identifier: This means that all
1236 certificates referenced there MUST be part of the validation chain.
1240 * The implementation of older EVP ciphers related to CAST, IDEA, SEED, RC2, RC4,
1241 RC5, DESX and DES have been moved to the legacy provider.
1245 * The implementation of the EVP digests MD2, MD4, MDC2, WHIRLPOOL and
1246 RIPEMD-160 have been moved to the legacy provider.
1250 * The deprecated function EVP_PKEY_get0() now returns NULL being called for a
1255 * The deprecated functions EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(),
1256 EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH(),
1257 EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(), EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305() and EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash() as
1258 well as the similarly named "get1" functions behave differently in
1263 * A number of functions handling low-level keys or engines were deprecated
1264 including EVP_PKEY_set1_engine(), EVP_PKEY_get0_engine(), EVP_PKEY_assign(),
1265 EVP_PKEY_get0(), EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(), EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305() and
1266 EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash().
1270 * PKCS#5 PBKDF1 key derivation has been moved from PKCS5_PBE_keyivgen() into
1271 the legacy crypto provider as an EVP_KDF. Applications requiring this KDF
1272 will need to load the legacy crypto provider. This includes these PBE
1273 algorithms which use this KDF:
1274 - NID_pbeWithMD2AndDES_CBC
1275 - NID_pbeWithMD5AndDES_CBC
1276 - NID_pbeWithSHA1AndRC2_CBC
1277 - NID_pbeWithMD2AndRC2_CBC
1278 - NID_pbeWithMD5AndRC2_CBC
1279 - NID_pbeWithSHA1AndDES_CBC
1283 * Deprecated obsolete BIO_set_callback(), BIO_get_callback(), and
1284 BIO_debug_callback() functions.
1288 * Deprecated obsolete EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_dh_kdf_ukm() and
1289 EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_ecdh_kdf_ukm() functions.
1293 * The RAND_METHOD APIs have been deprecated.
1297 * The SRP APIs have been deprecated.
1301 * Add a compile time option to prevent the caching of provider fetched
1302 algorithms. This is enabled by including the no-cached-fetch option
1303 at configuration time.
1307 * pkcs12 now uses defaults of PBKDF2, AES and SHA-256, with a MAC iteration
1308 count of PKCS12_DEFAULT_ITER.
1310 *Tomáš Mráz and Sahana Prasad*
1312 * The openssl speed command does not use low-level API calls anymore.
1316 * Parallel dual-prime 1024-bit modular exponentiation for AVX512_IFMA
1319 *Ilya Albrekht, Sergey Kirillov, Andrey Matyukov (Intel Corp)*
1321 * Combining the Configure options no-ec and no-dh no longer disables TLSv1.3.
1325 * Implemented support for fully "pluggable" TLSv1.3 groups. This means that
1326 providers may supply their own group implementations (using either the "key
1327 exchange" or the "key encapsulation" methods) which will automatically be
1328 detected and used by libssl.
1330 *Matt Caswell, Nicola Tuveri*
1332 * The undocumented function X509_certificate_type() has been deprecated;
1336 * Deprecated the obsolete BN_pseudo_rand() and BN_pseudo_rand_range().
1340 * Removed RSA padding mode for SSLv23 (which was only used for
1341 SSLv2). This includes the functions RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() and
1342 RSA_padding_add_SSLv23() and the `-ssl` option in the deprecated
1347 * Deprecated the obsolete X9.31 RSA key generation related functions.
1349 * While a callback function set via `SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback()`
1350 is not allowed to return a value > 1, this is no more taken as failure.
1352 *Viktor Dukhovni and David von Oheimb*
1354 * Deprecated the obsolete X9.31 RSA key generation related functions
1355 BN_X931_generate_Xpq(), BN_X931_derive_prime_ex(), and
1356 BN_X931_generate_prime_ex().
1360 * The default key generation method for the regular 2-prime RSA keys was
1361 changed to the FIPS 186-4 B.3.6 method.
1365 * Deprecated the BN_is_prime_ex() and BN_is_prime_fasttest_ex() functions.
1369 * Deprecated EVP_MD_CTX_set_update_fn() and EVP_MD_CTX_update_fn().
1373 * Deprecated the type OCSP_REQ_CTX and the functions OCSP_REQ_CTX_*() and
1374 replaced with OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX and the functions OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_*().
1376 *Rich Salz, Richard Levitte, and David von Oheimb*
1378 * Deprecated `X509_http_nbio()` and `X509_CRL_http_nbio()`.
1382 * Deprecated `OCSP_parse_url()`.
1386 * Validation of SM2 keys has been separated from the validation of regular EC
1391 * Behavior of the `pkey` app is changed, when using the `-check` or `-pubcheck`
1392 switches: a validation failure triggers an early exit, returning a failure
1393 exit status to the parent process.
1397 * Changed behavior of SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() and SSL_set_ciphersuites()
1398 to ignore unknown ciphers.
1402 * The `-cipher-commands` and `-digest-commands` options
1403 of the command line utility `list` have been deprecated.
1404 Instead use the `-cipher-algorithms` and `-digest-algorithms` options.
1408 * Added convenience functions for generating asymmetric key pairs:
1409 The 'quick' one-shot (yet somewhat limited) function L<EVP_PKEY_Q_keygen(3)>
1410 and macros for the most common cases: <EVP_RSA_gen(3)> and L<EVP_EC_gen(3)>.
1414 * All of the low-level EC_KEY functions have been deprecated.
1416 *Shane Lontis, Paul Dale, Richard Levitte, and Tomáš Mráz*
1418 * Deprecated all the libcrypto and libssl error string loading
1423 * The functions SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback, as
1424 well as the macros SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh() and SSL_set_tmp_dh() have been
1429 * The `-crypt` option to the `passwd` command line tool has been removed.
1433 * The -C option to the `x509`, `dhparam`, `dsaparam`, and `ecparam` commands
1438 * Add support for AES Key Wrap inverse ciphers to the EVP layer.
1442 * Deprecated EVP_PKEY_set1_tls_encodedpoint() and
1443 EVP_PKEY_get1_tls_encodedpoint().
1447 * The security callback, which can be customised by application code, supports
1448 the security operation SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH. One location of the "other" parameter
1449 was incorrectly passing a DH object. It now passed an EVP_PKEY in all cases.
1453 * Add PKCS7_get_octet_string() and PKCS7_type_is_other() to the public
1454 interface. Their functionality remains unchanged.
1458 * Added new option for 'openssl list', '-providers', which will display the
1459 list of loaded providers, their names, version and status. It optionally
1460 displays their gettable parameters.
1464 * Removed EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type().
1468 * Deprecated `EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp()` and introduced
1469 `EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_rsa_keygen_pubexp()`, which is now preferred.
1473 * Changed all "STACK" functions to be macros instead of inline functions. Macro
1474 parameters are still checked for type safety at compile time via helper
1479 * Remove the RAND_DRBG API
1481 *Paul Dale and Matthias St. Pierre*
1483 * Allow `SSL_set1_host()` and `SSL_add1_host()` to take IP literal addresses
1484 as well as actual hostnames.
1488 * The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now silently
1489 ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configuring DTLS-based contexts, and
1490 conversely, silently ignore DTLS protocol version bounds when configuring
1491 TLS-based contexts. The commands can be repeated to set bounds of both
1492 types. The same applies with the corresponding "min_protocol" and
1493 "max_protocol" command-line switches, in case some application uses both TLS
1496 SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version (e.g.
1497 `TLSv1_server_method()`) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
1498 attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions would result in an
1499 error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX instances are subject to
1500 limits in configuration files in command-line options.
1504 * Deprecated the `ENGINE` API. Engines should be replaced with providers
1509 * Reworked the recorded ERR codes to make better space for system errors.
1510 To distinguish them, the macro `ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR()` indicates if the
1511 given code is a system error (true) or an OpenSSL error (false).
1515 * Reworked the test perl framework to better allow parallel testing.
1517 *Nicola Tuveri and David von Oheimb*
1519 * Added ciphertext stealing algorithms AES-128-CBC-CTS, AES-192-CBC-CTS and
1520 AES-256-CBC-CTS to the providers. CS1, CS2 and CS3 variants are supported.
1524 * 'Configure' has been changed to figure out the configuration target if
1525 none is given on the command line. Consequently, the 'config' script is
1526 now only a mere wrapper. All documentation is changed to only mention
1529 *Rich Salz and Richard Levitte*
1531 * Added a library context `OSSL_LIB_CTX` that applications as well as
1532 other libraries can use to form a separate context within which
1533 libcrypto operations are performed.
1537 * Added various `_ex` functions to the OpenSSL API that support using
1538 a non-default `OSSL_LIB_CTX`.
1542 * Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped
1547 * Dropped interactive mode from the `openssl` program.
1551 * Deprecated `EVP_PKEY_cmp()` and `EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters()`.
1553 *David von Oheimb and Shane Lontis*
1555 * Deprecated `EC_METHOD_get_field_type()`.
1559 * Deprecated EC_GFp_simple_method(), EC_GFp_mont_method(),
1560 EC_GF2m_simple_method(), EC_GFp_nist_method(), EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1561 EC_GFp_nistp256_method(), and EC_GFp_nistp521_method().
1565 * Deprecated EC_GROUP_new(), EC_GROUP_method_of(), and EC_POINT_method_of().
1569 * Add CAdES-BES signature verification support, mostly derived
1570 from ESSCertIDv2 TS (RFC 5816) contribution by Marek Klein.
1572 *Filipe Raimundo da Silva*
1574 * Add CAdES-BES signature scheme and attributes support (RFC 5126) to CMS API.
1578 * Added the AuthEnvelopedData content type structure (RFC 5083) with AES-GCM
1579 parameter (RFC 5084) for the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).
1583 * Deprecated EC_POINT_make_affine() and EC_POINTs_make_affine().
1587 * Deprecated EC_GROUP_precompute_mult(), EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult(), and
1588 EC_KEY_precompute_mult().
1592 * Deprecated EC_POINTs_mul().
1596 * Removed FIPS_mode() and FIPS_mode_set().
1600 * The SSL option SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF is introduced.
1604 * Deprecated EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() and
1605 EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp().
1609 * Added OSSL_PARAM_BLD to the public interface. This allows OSSL_PARAM
1610 arrays to be more easily constructed via a series of utility functions.
1611 Create a parameter builder using OSSL_PARAM_BLD_new(), add parameters using
1612 the various push functions and finally convert to a passable OSSL_PARAM
1613 array using OSSL_PARAM_BLD_to_param().
1617 * The security strength of SHA1 and MD5 based signatures in TLS has been
1622 * Added EVP_PKEY_set_type_by_keymgmt(), to initialise an EVP_PKEY to
1623 contain a provider side internal key.
1627 * ASN1_verify(), ASN1_digest() and ASN1_sign() have been deprecated.
1631 * Project text documents not yet having a proper file name extension
1632 (`HACKING`, `LICENSE`, `NOTES*`, `README*`, `VERSION`) have been renamed to
1633 `*.md` as far as reasonable, else `*.txt`, for better use with file managers.
1637 * The main project documents (README, NEWS, CHANGES, INSTALL, SUPPORT)
1638 have been converted to Markdown with the goal to produce documents
1639 which not only look pretty when viewed online in the browser, but
1640 remain well readable inside a plain text editor.
1642 To achieve this goal, a 'minimalistic' Markdown style has been applied
1643 which avoids formatting elements that interfere too much with the
1644 reading flow in the text file. For example, it
1646 * avoids [ATX headings][] and uses [setext headings][] instead
1647 (which works for `<h1>` and `<h2>` headings only).
1648 * avoids [inline links][] and uses [reference links][] instead.
1649 * avoids [fenced code blocks][] and uses [indented code blocks][] instead.
1651 [ATX headings]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#atx-headings
1652 [setext headings]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#setext-headings
1653 [inline links]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#inline-link
1654 [reference links]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#reference-link
1655 [fenced code blocks]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#fenced-code-blocks
1656 [indented code blocks]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#indented-code-blocks
1658 *Matthias St. Pierre*
1660 * The test suite is changed to preserve results of each test recipe.
1661 A new directory test-runs/ with subdirectories named like the
1662 test recipes are created in the build tree for this purpose.
1666 * Added an implementation of CMP and CRMF (RFC 4210, RFC 4211 RFC 6712).
1667 This adds `crypto/cmp/`, `crpyto/crmf/`, `apps/cmp.c`, and `test/cmp_*`.
1668 See L<openssl-cmp(1)> and L<OSSL_CMP_exec_IR_ses(3)> as starting points.
1670 *David von Oheimb, Martin Peylo*
1672 * Generalized the HTTP client code from `crypto/ocsp/` into `crpyto/http/`.
1673 It supports arbitrary request and response content types, GET redirection,
1674 TLS, connections via HTTP(S) proxies, connections and exchange via
1675 user-defined BIOs (allowing implicit connections), persistent connections,
1676 and timeout checks. See L<OSSL_HTTP_transfer(3)> etc. for details.
1677 The legacy OCSP-focused (and only partly documented) API
1678 is retained for backward compatibility, while most of it is deprecated.
1682 * Added `util/check-format.pl`, a tool for checking adherence to the
1683 OpenSSL coding style <https://www.openssl.org/policies/codingstyle.html>.
1684 The checks performed are incomplete and yield some false positives.
1685 Still the tool should be useful for detecting most typical glitches.
1689 * `BIO_do_connect()` and `BIO_do_handshake()` have been extended:
1690 If domain name resolution yields multiple IP addresses all of them are tried
1691 after `connect()` failures.
1695 * All of the low-level RSA functions have been deprecated.
1699 * X509 certificates signed using SHA1 are no longer allowed at security
1704 * The command line utilities dhparam, dsa, gendsa and dsaparam have been
1705 modified to use PKEY APIs. These commands are now in maintenance mode
1706 and no new features will be added to them.
1710 * The command line utility rsautl has been deprecated.
1714 * The command line utilities genrsa and rsa have been modified to use PKEY
1715 APIs. They now write PKCS#8 keys by default. These commands are now in
1716 maintenance mode and no new features will be added to them.
1720 * All of the low-level DH functions have been deprecated.
1722 *Paul Dale and Matt Caswell*
1724 * All of the low-level DSA functions have been deprecated.
1728 * Reworked the treatment of EC EVP_PKEYs with the SM2 curve to
1729 automatically become EVP_PKEY_SM2 rather than EVP_PKEY_EC.
1733 * Deprecated low-level ECDH and ECDSA functions.
1737 * Deprecated EVP_PKEY_decrypt_old() and EVP_PKEY_encrypt_old().
1741 * Enhanced the documentation of EVP_PKEY_get_size(), EVP_PKEY_get_bits()
1742 and EVP_PKEY_get_security_bits(). Especially EVP_PKEY_get_size() needed
1743 a new formulation to include all the things it can be used for,
1744 as well as words of caution.
1748 * The SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_cb(3) function has been deprecated.
1752 * All of the low-level HMAC functions have been deprecated.
1754 *Paul Dale and David von Oheimb*
1756 * Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
1757 - Common options (such as -rand/-writerand, TLS version control, etc)
1758 were refactored and point to newly-enhanced descriptions in openssl.pod.
1759 - Added style conformance for all options (with help from Richard Levitte),
1760 documented all reported missing options, added a CI build to check
1761 that all options are documented and that no unimplemented options
1763 - Documented some internals, such as all use of environment variables.
1764 - Addressed all internal broken L<> references.
1768 * All of the low-level CMAC functions have been deprecated.
1772 * The low-level MD2, MD4, MD5, MDC2, RIPEMD160 and Whirlpool digest
1773 functions have been deprecated.
1775 *Paul Dale and David von Oheimb*
1777 * Corrected the documentation of the return values from the `EVP_DigestSign*`
1778 set of functions. The documentation mentioned negative values for some
1779 errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
1782 Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
1783 like `EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0` will continue to work undisturbed.
1787 * All of the low-level cipher functions have been deprecated.
1789 *Matt Caswell and Paul Dale*
1791 * Removed include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in and replaced it with
1792 include/openssl/configuration.h.in, which differs in not including
1793 <openssl/macros.h>. A short header include/openssl/opensslconf.h
1794 was added to include both.
1796 This allows internal hacks where one might need to modify the set
1797 of configured macros, for example this if deprecated symbols are
1798 still supposed to be available internally:
1800 #include <openssl/configuration.h>
1802 #undef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
1803 #define OPENSSL_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED
1805 #include <openssl/macros.h>
1807 This should not be used by applications that use the exported
1808 symbols, as that will lead to linking errors.
1812 * Fixed an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
1813 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
1814 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
1815 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
1816 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
1817 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
1818 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
1819 Also applications directly using the low-level API BN_mod_exp may be
1820 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1825 * Most memory-debug features have been deprecated, and the functionality
1826 replaced with no-ops.
1830 * Added documentation for the STACK API.
1834 * Introduced a new method type and API, OSSL_ENCODER, to represent
1835 generic encoders. These do the same sort of job that PEM writers
1836 and d2i functions do, but with support for methods supplied by
1837 providers, and the possibility for providers to support other
1842 * Introduced a new method type and API, OSSL_DECODER, to represent
1843 generic decoders. These do the same sort of job that PEM readers
1844 and i2d functions do, but with support for methods supplied by
1845 providers, and the possibility for providers to support other
1850 * Added a .pragma directive to the syntax of configuration files, to
1851 allow varying behavior in a supported and predictable manner.
1852 Currently added pragma:
1856 This allows dollar signs to be a keyword character unless it's
1857 followed by a opening brace or parenthesis. This is useful for
1858 platforms where dollar signs are commonly used in names, such as
1859 volume names and system directory names on VMS.
1863 * Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY from user data.
1867 * Change the interpretation of the '--api' configuration option to
1868 mean that this is a desired API compatibility level with no
1869 further meaning. The previous interpretation, that this would
1870 also mean to remove all deprecated symbols up to and including
1871 the given version, no requires that 'no-deprecated' is also used
1872 in the configuration.
1874 When building applications, the desired API compatibility level
1875 can be set with the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT macro like before. For
1876 API compatibility version below 3.0, the old style numerical
1877 value is valid as before, such as -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L.
1878 For version 3.0 and on, the value is expected to be the decimal
1879 value calculated from the major and minor version like this:
1881 MAJOR * 10000 + MINOR * 100
1885 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30000 For 3.0
1886 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30200 For 3.2
1888 To hide declarations that are deprecated up to and including the
1889 given API compatibility level, -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED must be
1890 given when building the application as well.
1894 * Added the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD called X509_LOOKUP_store, to allow
1895 access to certificate and CRL stores via URIs and OSSL_STORE
1898 This adds the following functions:
1900 - X509_LOOKUP_store()
1901 - X509_STORE_load_file()
1902 - X509_STORE_load_path()
1903 - X509_STORE_load_store()
1904 - SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack()
1905 - SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_store()
1906 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_file()
1907 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir()
1908 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_store()
1912 * Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
1913 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
1917 * Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY context based on data
1918 for methods from providers. This takes an algorithm name and a
1919 property query string and simply stores them, with the intent
1920 that any operation that uses this context will use those strings
1921 to fetch the needed methods implicitly, thereby making the port
1922 of application written for pre-3.0 OpenSSL easier.
1926 * The undocumented function NCONF_WIN32() has been deprecated; for
1927 conversion details see the HISTORY section of doc/man5/config.pod
1931 * Introduced the new functions EVP_DigestSignInit_ex() and
1932 EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex(). The macros EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and
1933 EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() have been converted to functions. See the man
1934 pages for further details.
1938 * Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
1939 adding missing command flags, better style conformance, documentation
1942 *Rich Salz, Richard Levitte*
1944 * s390x assembly pack: add hardware-support for P-256, P-384, P-521,
1945 X25519, X448, Ed25519 and Ed448.
1949 * Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
1954 * Deprecated the public definition of `ERR_STATE` as well as the function
1955 `ERR_get_state()`. This is done in preparation of making `ERR_STATE` an
1960 * Added ERR functionality to give callers access to the stored function
1961 names that have replaced the older function code based functions.
1963 New functions are ERR_peek_error_func(), ERR_peek_last_error_func(),
1964 ERR_peek_error_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_data(), ERR_get_error_all(),
1965 ERR_peek_error_all() and ERR_peek_last_error_all().
1967 Deprecate ERR functions ERR_get_error_line(), ERR_get_error_line_data(),
1968 ERR_peek_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() and
1969 ERR_func_error_string().
1973 * Extended testing to be verbose for failing tests only. The make variables
1974 VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF can be used to enable this:
1976 $ make VF=1 test # Unix
1977 $ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
1978 $ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
1982 * Added the `-copy_extensions` option to the `x509` command for use with
1983 `-req` and `-x509toreq`. When given with the `copy` or `copyall` argument,
1984 all extensions in the request are copied to the certificate or vice versa.
1986 *David von Oheimb*, *Kirill Stefanenkov <kirill_stefanenkov@rambler.ru>*
1988 * Added the `-copy_extensions` option to the `req` command for use with
1989 `-x509`. When given with the `copy` or `copyall` argument,
1990 all extensions in the certification request are copied to the certificate.
1994 * The `x509`, `req`, and `ca` commands now make sure that X.509v3 certificates
1995 they generate are by default RFC 5280 compliant in the following sense:
1996 There is a subjectKeyIdentifier extension with a hash value of the public key
1997 and for not self-signed certs there is an authorityKeyIdentifier extension
1998 with a keyIdentifier field or issuer information identifying the signing key.
1999 This is done unless some configuration overrides the new default behavior,
2000 such as `subjectKeyIdentifier = none` and `authorityKeyIdentifier = none`.
2004 * Added several checks to `X509_verify_cert()` according to requirements in
2005 RFC 5280 in case `X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT` is set
2006 (which may be done by using the CLI option `-x509_strict`):
2007 * The basicConstraints of CA certificates must be marked critical.
2008 * CA certificates must explicitly include the keyUsage extension.
2009 * If a pathlenConstraint is given the key usage keyCertSign must be allowed.
2010 * The issuer name of any certificate must not be empty.
2011 * The subject name of CA certs, certs with keyUsage crlSign,
2012 and certs without subjectAlternativeName must not be empty.
2013 * If a subjectAlternativeName extension is given it must not be empty.
2014 * The signatureAlgorithm field and the cert signature must be consistent.
2015 * Any given authorityKeyIdentifier and any given subjectKeyIdentifier
2016 must not be marked critical.
2017 * The authorityKeyIdentifier must be given for X.509v3 certs
2018 unless they are self-signed.
2019 * The subjectKeyIdentifier must be given for all X.509v3 CA certs.
2023 * Certificate verification using `X509_verify_cert()` meanwhile rejects EC keys
2024 with explicit curve parameters (specifiedCurve) as required by RFC 5480.
2028 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
2029 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a encoded key
2030 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
2031 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
2032 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
2033 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
2034 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
2035 encoded, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
2036 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
2040 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
2041 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
2042 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
2043 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
2048 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
2049 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
2050 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
2051 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
2052 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
2053 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
2054 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
2055 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
2056 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
2057 certificate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
2058 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
2059 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
2063 * Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
2064 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
2065 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
2066 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
2067 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
2068 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
2069 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
2073 * Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
2074 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
2075 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
2076 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
2077 `N = p*q = 1 (mod 3)`, but `N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3)`. Therefore, fingerprinting
2078 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
2079 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
2083 * Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
2084 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
2085 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
2086 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
2087 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
2091 * Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
2092 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
2093 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
2094 `OPENSSL_init_crypto()` to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
2098 * Introduced new error raising macros, `ERR_raise()` and `ERR_raise_data()`,
2099 where the former acts as a replacement for `ERR_put_error()`, and the
2100 latter replaces the combination `ERR_put_error()` + `ERR_add_error_data()`.
2101 `ERR_raise_data()` adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
2102 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
2107 * Introduced a new function, `OSSL_PROVIDER_available()`, which can be used
2108 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
2109 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
2113 * Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
2117 * Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
2118 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
2119 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
2120 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
2124 * Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
2128 * `{CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop}` are now no-ops and have been
2133 * A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
2134 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
2135 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
2136 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
2137 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
2138 functions for further details.
2142 * The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
2146 * Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
2151 * Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
2155 * Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
2156 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
2157 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
2158 variables, only functions.
2162 * RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
2163 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
2164 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
2169 * Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
2173 * Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the `ts` app.
2177 * Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
2181 * Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
2182 #defines are deprecated.
2186 * Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
2187 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
2188 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
2192 * Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
2196 * Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
2200 * Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
2204 * Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
2205 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
2206 for scripting purposes.
2210 * The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
2215 * Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
2219 * Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
2220 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
2224 * Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
2225 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the `*sum`
2226 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
2228 *Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale*
2230 * Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
2231 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
2232 The configuration option is now deprecated.
2236 * Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
2237 digest name in its output.
2241 * Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
2242 instrumentation through trace output.
2244 *Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre*
2246 * Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
2247 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
2248 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
2250 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
2251 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
2255 * Added KB KDF (EVP_KDF_KB) to EVP_KDF.
2259 * Added SSH KDF (EVP_KDF_SSHKDF) and KRB5 KDF (EVP_KDF_KRB5KDF) to EVP_KDF.
2263 * Added Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS), X963 KDF, and X942 KDF to EVP_KDF.
2267 * Added KMAC to EVP_MAC.
2271 * Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
2276 * Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
2277 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
2278 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
2279 to affine coordinates.
2281 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri*
2283 * Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
2284 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
2285 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
2286 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
2287 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
2291 * Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
2293 *Eneas U de Queiroz*
2295 * Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
2299 * Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
2300 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
2301 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
2302 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
2303 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
2304 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
2306 * Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
2307 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
2311 * Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
2315 * Changed the license to the Apache License v2.0.
2319 * Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
2321 - Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
2322 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
2323 - Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
2324 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
2325 - Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
2326 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
2327 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
2328 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
2332 * Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
2336 * Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
2337 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
2338 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
2342 * Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
2343 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
2347 * Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
2348 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
2353 * Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
2357 * Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
2361 * Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
2362 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
2363 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
2364 functionality such as `EVP_DigestSign*` and `EVP_DigestVerify*`.
2368 * Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62().
2372 * Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
2373 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
2374 are retained for backwards compatibility.
2378 * AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
2379 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
2380 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
2381 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
2382 <http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf>
2386 * Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
2387 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
2388 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
2392 * Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
2393 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
2397 * Added the options `-crl_lastupdate` and `-crl_nextupdate` to `openssl ca`,
2398 allowing the `lastUpdate` and `nextUpdate` fields in the generated CRL to
2403 * Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
2404 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
2405 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
2409 * The SSL option SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT is introduced.
2413 * `PKCS12_parse` now maintains the order of the parsed certificates
2414 when outputting them via `*ca` (rather than reversing it).
2418 * Deprecated pthread fork support methods.
2422 * Added support for FFDHE key exchange in TLS 1.3.
2426 * Added a new concept for OpenSSL plugability: providers. This
2427 functionality is designed to replace the ENGINE API and ENGINE
2428 implementations, and to be much more dynamic, allowing provider
2429 authors to introduce new algorithms among other things, as long as
2430 there's an API that supports the algorithm type.
2432 With this concept comes a new core API for interaction between
2433 libcrypto and provider implementations. Public libcrypto functions
2434 that want to use providers do so through this core API.
2436 The main documentation for this core API is found in
2437 doc/man7/provider.pod, doc/man7/provider-base.pod, and they in turn
2438 refer to other manuals describing the API specific for supported
2439 algorithm types (also called operations).
2446 ### Changes between 1.1.1l and 1.1.1m [xx XXX xxxx]
2448 * Avoid loading of a dynamic engine twice.
2452 * Prioritise DANE TLSA issuer certs over peer certs
2456 * Fixed random API for MacOS prior to 10.12
2458 These MacOS versions don't support the CommonCrypto APIs
2462 ### Changes between 1.1.1k and 1.1.1l [24 Aug 2021]
2464 * Fixed an SM2 Decryption Buffer Overflow.
2466 In order to decrypt SM2 encrypted data an application is expected to
2467 call the API function EVP_PKEY_decrypt(). Typically an application will
2468 call this function twice. The first time, on entry, the "out" parameter
2469 can be NULL and, on exit, the "outlen" parameter is populated with the
2470 buffer size required to hold the decrypted plaintext. The application
2471 can then allocate a sufficiently sized buffer and call EVP_PKEY_decrypt()
2472 again, but this time passing a non-NULL value for the "out" parameter.
2474 A bug in the implementation of the SM2 decryption code means that the
2475 calculation of the buffer size required to hold the plaintext returned
2476 by the first call to EVP_PKEY_decrypt() can be smaller than the actual
2477 size required by the second call. This can lead to a buffer overflow
2478 when EVP_PKEY_decrypt() is called by the application a second time with
2479 a buffer that is too small.
2481 A malicious attacker who is able present SM2 content for decryption to
2482 an application could cause attacker chosen data to overflow the buffer
2483 by up to a maximum of 62 bytes altering the contents of other data held
2484 after the buffer, possibly changing application behaviour or causing
2485 the application to crash. The location of the buffer is application
2486 dependent but is typically heap allocated.
2491 * Fixed various read buffer overruns processing ASN.1 strings
2493 ASN.1 strings are represented internally within OpenSSL as an ASN1_STRING
2494 structure which contains a buffer holding the string data and a field
2495 holding the buffer length. This contrasts with normal C strings which
2496 are represented as a buffer for the string data which is terminated
2497 with a NUL (0) byte.
2499 Although not a strict requirement, ASN.1 strings that are parsed using
2500 OpenSSL's own "d2i" functions (and other similar parsing functions) as
2501 well as any string whose value has been set with the ASN1_STRING_set()
2502 function will additionally NUL terminate the byte array in the
2503 ASN1_STRING structure.
2505 However, it is possible for applications to directly construct valid
2506 ASN1_STRING structures which do not NUL terminate the byte array by
2507 directly setting the "data" and "length" fields in the ASN1_STRING
2508 array. This can also happen by using the ASN1_STRING_set0() function.
2510 Numerous OpenSSL functions that print ASN.1 data have been found to
2511 assume that the ASN1_STRING byte array will be NUL terminated, even
2512 though this is not guaranteed for strings that have been directly
2513 constructed. Where an application requests an ASN.1 structure to be
2514 printed, and where that ASN.1 structure contains ASN1_STRINGs that have
2515 been directly constructed by the application without NUL terminating
2516 the "data" field, then a read buffer overrun can occur.
2518 The same thing can also occur during name constraints processing
2519 of certificates (for example if a certificate has been directly
2520 constructed by the application instead of loading it via the OpenSSL
2521 parsing functions, and the certificate contains non NUL terminated
2522 ASN1_STRING structures). It can also occur in the X509_get1_email(),
2523 X509_REQ_get1_email() and X509_get1_ocsp() functions.
2525 If a malicious actor can cause an application to directly construct an
2526 ASN1_STRING and then process it through one of the affected OpenSSL
2527 functions then this issue could be hit. This might result in a crash
2528 (causing a Denial of Service attack). It could also result in the
2529 disclosure of private memory contents (such as private keys, or
2530 sensitive plaintext).
2535 ### Changes between 1.1.1j and 1.1.1k [25 Mar 2021]
2537 * Fixed a problem with verifying a certificate chain when using the
2538 X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag. This flag enables additional security checks of
2539 the certificates present in a certificate chain. It is not set by default.
2541 Starting from OpenSSL version 1.1.1h a check to disallow certificates in
2542 the chain that have explicitly encoded elliptic curve parameters was added
2543 as an additional strict check.
2545 An error in the implementation of this check meant that the result of a
2546 previous check to confirm that certificates in the chain are valid CA
2547 certificates was overwritten. This effectively bypasses the check
2548 that non-CA certificates must not be able to issue other certificates.
2550 If a "purpose" has been configured then there is a subsequent opportunity
2551 for checks that the certificate is a valid CA. All of the named "purpose"
2552 values implemented in libcrypto perform this check. Therefore, where
2553 a purpose is set the certificate chain will still be rejected even when the
2554 strict flag has been used. A purpose is set by default in libssl client and
2555 server certificate verification routines, but it can be overridden or
2556 removed by an application.
2558 In order to be affected, an application must explicitly set the
2559 X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT verification flag and either not set a purpose
2560 for the certificate verification or, in the case of TLS client or server
2561 applications, override the default purpose.
2566 * Fixed an issue where an OpenSSL TLS server may crash if sent a maliciously
2567 crafted renegotiation ClientHello message from a client. If a TLSv1.2
2568 renegotiation ClientHello omits the signature_algorithms extension (where it
2569 was present in the initial ClientHello), but includes a
2570 signature_algorithms_cert extension then a NULL pointer dereference will
2571 result, leading to a crash and a denial of service attack.
2573 A server is only vulnerable if it has TLSv1.2 and renegotiation enabled
2574 (which is the default configuration). OpenSSL TLS clients are not impacted by
2578 *Peter Kästle and Samuel Sapalski*
2580 ### Changes between 1.1.1i and 1.1.1j [16 Feb 2021]
2582 * Fixed the X509_issuer_and_serial_hash() function. It attempts to
2583 create a unique hash value based on the issuer and serial number data
2584 contained within an X509 certificate. However, it was failing to correctly
2585 handle any errors that may occur while parsing the issuer field (which might
2586 occur if the issuer field is maliciously constructed). This may subsequently
2587 result in a NULL pointer deref and a crash leading to a potential denial of
2593 * Fixed the RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() function and the RSA_SSLV23_PADDING
2594 padding mode to correctly check for rollback attacks. This is considered a
2595 bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1 because it does not support SSLv2. In 1.0.2 this is
2600 Fixed the EVP_CipherUpdate, EVP_EncryptUpdate and EVP_DecryptUpdate
2601 functions. Previously they could overflow the output length argument in some
2602 cases where the input length is close to the maximum permissible length for
2603 an integer on the platform. In such cases the return value from the function
2604 call would be 1 (indicating success), but the output length value would be
2605 negative. This could cause applications to behave incorrectly or crash.
2610 * Fixed SRP_Calc_client_key so that it runs in constant time. The previous
2611 implementation called BN_mod_exp without setting BN_FLG_CONSTTIME. This
2612 could be exploited in a side channel attack to recover the password. Since
2613 the attack is local host only this is outside of the current OpenSSL
2614 threat model and therefore no CVE is assigned.
2616 Thanks to Mohammed Sabt and Daniel De Almeida Braga for reporting this
2621 ### Changes between 1.1.1h and 1.1.1i [8 Dec 2020]
2623 * Fixed NULL pointer deref in the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function
2624 This function could crash if both GENERAL_NAMEs contain an EDIPARTYNAME.
2625 If an attacker can control both items being compared then this could lead
2626 to a possible denial of service attack. OpenSSL itself uses the
2627 GENERAL_NAME_cmp function for two purposes:
2628 1) Comparing CRL distribution point names between an available CRL and a
2629 CRL distribution point embedded in an X509 certificate
2630 2) When verifying that a timestamp response token signer matches the
2631 timestamp authority name (exposed via the API functions
2632 TS_RESP_verify_response and TS_RESP_verify_token)
2637 ### Changes between 1.1.1g and 1.1.1h [22 Sep 2020]
2639 * Certificates with explicit curve parameters are now disallowed in
2640 verification chains if the X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag is used.
2644 * The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now silently
2645 ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configuring DTLS-based contexts, and
2646 conversely, silently ignore DTLS protocol version bounds when configuring
2647 TLS-based contexts. The commands can be repeated to set bounds of both
2648 types. The same applies with the corresponding "min_protocol" and
2649 "max_protocol" command-line switches, in case some application uses both TLS
2652 SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version (e.g.
2653 TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
2654 attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions would result in an
2655 error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX instances are subject to
2656 limits in configuration files in command-line options.
2660 * Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped
2665 * The Oracle Developer Studio compiler will start reporting deprecated APIs
2667 ### Changes between 1.1.1f and 1.1.1g [21 Apr 2020]
2669 * Fixed segmentation fault in SSL_check_chain()
2670 Server or client applications that call the SSL_check_chain() function
2671 during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer
2672 dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the
2673 "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid
2674 or unrecognised signature algorithm is received from the peer. This could
2675 be exploited by a malicious peer in a Denial of Service attack.
2680 * Added AES consttime code for no-asm configurations
2681 an optional constant time support for AES was added
2682 when building openssl for no-asm.
2683 Enable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_AES_CONST_TIME
2684 Disable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_NO_AES_CONST_TIME
2685 At this time this feature is by default disabled.
2686 It will be enabled by default in 3.0.
2690 ### Changes between 1.1.1e and 1.1.1f [31 Mar 2020]
2692 * Revert the change of EOF detection while reading in libssl to avoid
2693 regressions in applications depending on the current way of reporting
2694 the EOF. As the existing method is not fully accurate the change to
2695 reporting the EOF via SSL_ERROR_SSL is kept on the current development
2696 branch and will be present in the 3.0 release.
2700 * Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 3..17863 in p-1
2701 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
2702 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
2703 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
2704 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore, fingerprinting
2705 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
2706 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
2710 ### Changes between 1.1.1d and 1.1.1e [17 Mar 2020]
2712 * Properly detect EOF while reading in libssl. Previously if we hit an EOF
2713 while reading in libssl then we would report an error back to the
2714 application (SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL) but errno would be 0. We now add
2715 an error to the stack (which means we instead return SSL_ERROR_SSL) and
2716 therefore give a hint as to what went wrong.
2720 * Check that ed25519 and ed448 are allowed by the security level. Previously
2721 signature algorithms not using an MD were not being checked that they were
2722 allowed by the security level.
2726 * Fixed SSL_get_servername() behaviour. The behaviour of SSL_get_servername()
2727 was not quite right. The behaviour was not consistent between resumption
2728 and normal handshakes, and also not quite consistent with historical
2729 behaviour. The behaviour in various scenarios has been clarified and
2730 it has been updated to make it match historical behaviour as closely as
2735 * *[VMS only]* The header files that the VMS compilers include automatically,
2736 `__DECC_INCLUDE_PROLOGUE.H` and `__DECC_INCLUDE_EPILOGUE.H`, use pragmas
2737 that the C++ compiler doesn't understand. This is a shortcoming in the
2738 compiler, but can be worked around with `__cplusplus` guards.
2740 C++ applications that use OpenSSL libraries must be compiled using the
2741 qualifier `/NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORTENED)` to be able to use all the OpenSSL
2742 functions. Otherwise, only functions with symbols of less than 31
2743 characters can be used, as the linker will not be able to successfully
2744 resolve symbols with longer names.
2748 * Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
2749 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
2753 * Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
2758 ### Changes between 1.1.1c and 1.1.1d [10 Sep 2019]
2760 * Fixed a fork protection issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a rewritten random
2761 number generator (RNG). This was intended to include protection in the
2762 event of a fork() system call in order to ensure that the parent and child
2763 processes did not share the same RNG state. However, this protection was not
2764 being used in the default case.
2766 A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a high
2767 precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the likelihood of a parent
2768 and child process sharing state is significantly reduced.
2770 If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly using
2771 OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at all.
2774 *Matthias St. Pierre*
2776 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
2777 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a encoded key
2778 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
2779 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
2780 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
2781 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
2782 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
2783 encoded, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
2784 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
2788 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
2789 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
2790 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
2791 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
2796 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
2797 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
2798 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
2799 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
2800 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
2801 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
2802 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
2803 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
2804 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
2805 certificate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
2806 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
2807 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
2812 * Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
2813 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
2814 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
2815 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
2816 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
2817 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
2818 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
2822 * Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
2823 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
2824 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
2825 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
2826 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
2830 * Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
2832 Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
2833 paths should be used for installation.
2838 * Changed DH_check to accept parameters with order q and 2q subgroups.
2839 With order 2q subgroups the bit 0 of the private key is not secret
2840 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
2841 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
2845 * Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
2849 * Revert the DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
2851 The DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature added a select() call to wait for the
2852 /dev/random device to become readable before reading from the
2853 /dev/urandom device.
2855 It turned out that this change had negative side effects on
2856 performance which were not acceptable. After some discussion it
2857 was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
2858 resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
2859 during early boot time.
2861 *Matthias St. Pierre*
2863 ### Changes between 1.1.1b and 1.1.1c [28 May 2019]
2865 * Add build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
2866 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
2867 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
2869 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
2870 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
2874 * Enable SHA3 pre-hashing for ECDSA and DSA.
2878 * Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
2879 This changes the size when using the `genpkey` command when no size is given.
2880 It fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
2881 generation commands to use 2048 bits by default.
2885 * Reorganize the manual pages to consistently have RETURN VALUES,
2886 EXAMPLES, SEE ALSO and HISTORY come in that order, and adjust
2887 util/fix-doc-nits accordingly.
2889 *Paul Yang, Joshua Lock*
2891 * Add the missing accessor EVP_PKEY_get0_engine()
2895 * Have commands like `s_client` and `s_server` output the signature scheme
2896 along with other cipher suite parameters when debugging.
2900 * Make OPENSSL_config() error agnostic again.
2904 * Do the error handling in RSA decryption constant time.
2908 * Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
2910 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
2911 for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
2912 (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
2913 and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
2914 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
2915 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
2916 additional leading bytes are ignored.
2918 It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
2919 unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
2920 serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
2921 the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
2922 change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
2923 new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
2924 messages with a reused nonce.
2926 Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
2927 integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
2928 integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
2929 affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
2930 is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
2931 applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
2932 length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
2934 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
2940 * Add DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
2942 On older Linux systems where the getrandom() system call is not available,
2943 OpenSSL normally uses the /dev/urandom device for seeding its CSPRNG.
2944 Contrary to getrandom(), the /dev/urandom device will not block during
2945 early boot when the kernel CSPRNG has not been seeded yet.
2947 To mitigate this known weakness, use select() to wait for /dev/random to
2948 become readable before reading from /dev/urandom.
2950 * Ensure that SM2 only uses SM3 as digest algorithm
2954 ### Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [26 Feb 2019]
2956 * Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
2957 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
2958 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
2959 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
2960 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
2961 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
2962 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
2963 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
2968 ### Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
2970 * Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
2972 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
2973 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
2974 algorithm to recover the private key.
2976 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
2981 * Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
2983 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
2984 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
2985 algorithm to recover the private key.
2987 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
2992 * Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
2993 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
2994 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
2996 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
2997 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
2998 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
2999 provided by the application.
3001 ### Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
3003 * Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
3004 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
3005 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
3006 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
3007 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
3012 * Add SM2 base algorithm support.
3016 * s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
3017 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
3018 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
3022 * Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
3023 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
3024 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
3028 * Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
3029 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
3030 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
3031 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
3032 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
3033 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
3034 to work in projective coordinates.
3036 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri*
3038 * Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
3039 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
3040 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
3041 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
3044 *Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar*
3046 * Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
3050 * The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
3051 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
3052 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
3053 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
3057 * Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
3058 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
3062 * Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
3063 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
3064 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
3065 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
3067 *Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri*
3069 * Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
3070 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
3071 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
3072 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
3073 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
3075 *Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri*
3077 * Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
3078 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
3079 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
3080 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
3081 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
3085 * Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
3086 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
3087 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
3092 * AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
3093 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
3094 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
3095 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
3096 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
3097 multi-version installation is managed.
3101 * Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
3102 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
3103 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
3104 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
3105 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
3109 * Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
3110 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
3111 chosen point SCA attacks.
3113 *Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley*
3115 * Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
3116 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
3120 * Enforce checking in the `pkeyutl` command to ensure that the input
3121 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
3122 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
3126 * SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
3127 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
3128 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
3129 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
3130 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
3131 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
3132 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
3133 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
3134 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
3138 * When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
3139 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
3143 * Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
3144 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
3148 * Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
3149 binary and prime elliptic curves.
3153 * Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
3154 constant time fixed point multiplication.
3158 * Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
3159 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
3160 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
3161 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
3162 ECDH derive operations).
3163 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
3166 * Updated CONTRIBUTING
3170 * Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
3171 randomness from the system.
3173 *Matthias St. Pierre*
3175 * Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
3179 * Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
3180 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
3184 * Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
3188 * Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
3190 *Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz*
3192 * Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
3196 * Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
3197 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
3198 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
3202 * Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
3207 * Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
3208 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
3212 * Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
3216 * Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
3217 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
3219 *Matthias St. Pierre*
3221 * QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
3222 for the license change).
3226 * TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
3227 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
3231 * Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
3232 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
3233 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
3234 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
3235 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
3236 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
3237 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
3241 * On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
3242 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
3243 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
3244 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
3245 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
3246 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
3247 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
3248 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
3249 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
3250 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
3251 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
3256 * Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
3261 * Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
3262 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
3263 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
3264 get the search data out of them.
3268 * Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
3269 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
3270 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
3271 <https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3>
3275 * Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
3277 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
3278 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
3279 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
3280 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
3281 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
3282 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
3284 Some of its new features are:
3285 - Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
3286 - The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
3287 - There is a public and private DRBG instance.
3288 - The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
3289 - Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
3290 - The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
3293 *Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre*
3295 * Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
3296 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
3297 to display all sorts of configuration data.
3301 * Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
3305 * Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
3309 * The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
3314 * Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
3315 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
3316 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
3317 debug (or make silent).
3321 * Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
3322 arguments to config / Configure.
3326 * Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
3330 * Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
3331 *Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,*
3332 *Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,*
3333 *Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com>*
3335 * Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
3336 as documented in RFC6066.
3337 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
3339 *Filipe Raimundo da Silva*
3341 * Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
3342 *Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,*
3343 *Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,*
3344 *Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com>*
3346 * Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
3347 original author does not agree with the license change.
3351 * Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
3355 * Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
3356 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
3360 * Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
3361 without clearing the errors.
3365 * Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
3366 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
3367 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
3375 * The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
3376 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
3377 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
3380 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
3381 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
3382 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
3383 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
3387 * Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
3388 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
3389 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
3390 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
3391 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
3392 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
3393 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
3397 * Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
3398 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
3399 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
3400 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
3404 * Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
3405 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
3406 error code calls like this:
3408 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
3410 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
3411 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
3414 *Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson*
3416 * Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
3420 * Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
3421 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
3422 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
3423 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
3427 * In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
3428 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
3429 than just the call where this user data is passed.
3433 * Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
3436 *Tomáš Mráz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>*
3438 * Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
3439 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
3440 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
3441 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
3442 prohibits this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
3443 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
3444 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause interoperability
3449 * Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
3450 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
3451 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
3456 * Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
3457 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
3459 *Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov*
3461 * Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
3466 * Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
3467 platform rather than 'mingw'.
3471 * The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
3472 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
3473 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
3474 certificates and CRLs.
3478 * x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
3479 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
3483 * Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
3484 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
3488 * Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
3489 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
3490 which is the minimum version we support.
3494 * Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
3495 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
3496 are no longer allowed.
3500 * Add support for ARIA
3504 * s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
3505 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
3506 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
3507 using "-servername".
3511 * Add support for SipHash
3515 * OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
3516 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
3517 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
3518 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
3522 * 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
3523 using the algorithm defined in
3524 <https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt>
3528 * Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
3530 *Richard Levitte, Rich Salz*
3532 * Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
3536 * The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
3537 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
3544 ### Changes between 1.1.0k and 1.1.0l [10 Sep 2019]
3546 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
3547 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a encoded key
3548 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
3549 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
3550 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
3551 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
3552 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
3553 encoded, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
3554 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
3558 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
3559 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
3560 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
3561 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
3566 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
3567 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
3568 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
3569 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
3570 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
3571 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
3572 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
3573 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
3574 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
3575 certificate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
3576 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3577 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
3582 * Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
3584 Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
3585 paths should be used for installation.
3590 ### Changes between 1.1.0j and 1.1.0k [28 May 2019]
3592 * Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
3593 This changes the size when using the `genpkey` command when no size is given.
3594 It fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
3595 generation commands to use 2048 bits by default.
3599 * Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
3601 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
3602 for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
3603 (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
3604 and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
3605 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
3606 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
3607 additional leading bytes are ignored.
3609 It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
3610 unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
3611 serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
3612 the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
3613 change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
3614 new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
3615 messages with a reused nonce.
3617 Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
3618 integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
3619 integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
3620 affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
3621 is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
3622 applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
3623 length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
3625 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
3631 * Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
3632 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
3633 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
3634 to affine coordinates.
3636 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri*
3638 * Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
3639 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
3643 * Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
3647 * Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
3648 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
3649 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
3653 ### Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.0j [20 Nov 2018]
3655 * Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
3657 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
3658 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
3659 algorithm to recover the private key.
3661 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
3666 * Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
3668 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
3669 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
3670 algorithm to recover the private key.
3672 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
3677 * Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
3678 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
3679 chosen point SCA attacks.
3681 *Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley*
3683 ### Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [14 Aug 2018]
3685 * Client DoS due to large DH parameter
3687 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
3688 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
3689 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
3690 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
3691 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
3693 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
3698 * Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
3700 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
3701 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
3702 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
3703 recover the private key.
3705 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
3706 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
3711 * Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
3712 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
3713 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
3717 * Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
3718 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
3722 * Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
3723 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
3724 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
3725 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
3728 *Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar*
3730 * Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
3734 * Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
3735 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
3739 * When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
3740 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
3744 * Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
3745 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
3746 are no longer allowed.
3750 * Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
3752 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
3753 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
3754 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
3755 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
3756 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
3757 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
3758 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
3759 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
3760 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
3761 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
3762 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
3763 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
3764 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
3768 ### Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
3770 * Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
3772 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
3773 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
3774 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
3775 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
3776 so this is considered safe.
3778 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
3784 * Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
3786 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
3787 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
3788 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
3789 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
3790 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
3791 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
3793 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
3799 * Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
3800 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
3801 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
3802 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
3806 * Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
3808 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
3809 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
3810 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore, the new
3811 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
3812 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
3814 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
3815 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
3816 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
3820 * Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
3825 * rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
3827 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
3828 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
3829 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
3830 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
3831 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
3832 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
3833 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
3834 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
3835 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
3836 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
3838 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
3839 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
3841 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
3842 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
3847 ### Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
3849 * bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
3851 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
3852 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
3853 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
3854 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
3855 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
3856 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
3857 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
3858 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
3859 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
3860 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
3861 key that is shared between multiple clients.
3863 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
3864 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
3866 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
3871 * Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
3873 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
3874 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
3875 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
3877 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
3882 ### Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
3884 * Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
3885 platform rather than 'mingw'.
3889 * Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
3890 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
3891 which is the minimum version we support.
3895 ### Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
3897 * Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
3899 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
3900 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
3901 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependent on ciphersuite). Both clients
3902 and servers are affected.
3904 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
3909 ### Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
3911 * Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
3913 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
3914 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
3915 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
3917 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
3922 * Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
3924 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
3925 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
3926 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
3929 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
3934 * BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
3936 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
3937 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
3938 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
3939 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
3940 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
3941 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
3942 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
3943 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
3944 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
3945 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
3946 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
3947 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
3948 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
3950 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
3955 ### Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
3957 * ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
3959 TLS connections using `*-CHACHA20-POLY1305` ciphersuites are susceptible to
3960 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
3961 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
3963 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
3968 * CMS Null dereference
3970 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
3971 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
3972 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
3973 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
3974 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
3977 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
3982 * Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
3984 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
3985 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
3986 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
3987 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
3988 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
3989 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
3990 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
3991 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
3992 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
3993 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
3994 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
3995 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
3996 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
3997 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
3999 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
4000 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
4001 providing reproducible case.
4006 * Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
4007 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
4011 ### Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
4013 * Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
4015 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
4016 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
4017 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
4018 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
4019 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
4020 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
4022 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
4024 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
4029 ### Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
4031 * OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
4033 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
4034 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
4035 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
4036 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
4037 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
4038 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
4039 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
4041 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4046 * SSL_peek() hang on empty record
4048 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
4049 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
4050 Denial Of Service attack.
4052 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
4057 * Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
4058 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
4060 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
4061 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
4062 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
4063 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
4064 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
4065 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
4066 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
4067 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
4068 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
4069 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
4070 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
4071 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
4072 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
4073 again. Therefore, the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
4074 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
4076 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
4077 that the connection fails
4079 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
4080 very little free memory
4082 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
4083 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
4084 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
4085 memory to service the multiple requests.
4087 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
4088 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
4089 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
4090 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
4091 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
4093 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4094 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
4098 * solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
4099 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
4100 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
4101 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
4102 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
4103 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
4104 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
4108 ### Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
4110 * Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
4111 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
4112 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
4113 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
4114 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
4119 * To mitigate the SWEET32 attack ([CVE-2016-2183]), 3DES cipher suites
4120 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
4121 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
4125 * The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
4126 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
4127 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
4128 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
4132 * The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
4133 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
4138 * The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
4139 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
4140 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
4141 no-ops and deprecated.
4145 * Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
4146 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
4149 *Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz*
4151 * The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with `OPENSSL_SK_`
4152 and `OPENSSL_LH_`, respectively. The old names are available
4153 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
4157 * Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
4158 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
4159 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
4160 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
4161 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
4162 and the validity of object reference counter.
4164 *fdasilvayy@gmail.com*
4166 * With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
4167 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
4168 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
4169 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
4173 * Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
4177 * Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
4178 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
4179 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
4180 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
4182 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
4186 * Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
4187 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
4191 * Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
4195 * Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
4199 * To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
4200 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
4201 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
4202 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
4203 name and is used as is.
4207 * The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
4208 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
4209 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
4213 * "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
4214 the "no-shared" Configure option.
4218 * Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
4219 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
4224 * Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
4225 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
4226 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
4227 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
4228 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
4229 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
4230 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
4231 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
4232 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
4236 * --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
4237 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
4238 enabled with '--debug' builds.
4240 *Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper*
4242 * Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
4243 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
4244 these have been added.
4248 * Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
4249 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
4250 functions for managing these have been added.
4254 * Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
4255 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
4256 these have been added.
4260 * Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
4261 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
4266 * Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
4270 * Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
4274 * Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
4275 it is always safe to #include a header now.
4279 * Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
4283 * Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
4287 * Add support for HKDF.
4289 *Alessandro Ghedini*
4291 * Add support for blake2b and blake2s
4295 * Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
4296 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
4297 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
4298 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
4299 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
4300 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
4301 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
4305 * Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
4306 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
4307 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
4311 * OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
4312 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
4313 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
4314 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
4315 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
4316 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
4318 *Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell*
4320 * Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
4321 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
4325 * Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
4329 * Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
4330 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
4331 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
4332 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
4333 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
4334 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
4339 * Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
4340 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
4344 * RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
4345 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
4346 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
4350 * If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
4351 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
4352 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
4353 implemented by other servers.
4357 * Add X25519 support.
4358 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
4359 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
4360 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
4361 key generation and key derivation.
4363 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
4368 * Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
4369 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
4370 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak ([CVE-2016-0798]),
4371 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
4372 seed, even if the seed is configured.
4374 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
4375 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
4376 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
4377 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
4378 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
4379 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
4380 that of a valid user.
4384 * Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
4385 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
4386 only applies to the engines in `engines/`, those in `crypto/engine/`
4387 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
4389 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
4390 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
4392 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
4393 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
4394 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
4395 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
4397 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
4398 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
4403 * Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
4404 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
4405 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
4406 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
4407 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
4408 of how OpenSSL was configured.
4410 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
4411 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
4412 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
4416 * Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
4420 * The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
4421 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
4422 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
4427 * Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
4428 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
4429 old #define's might need to be updated.
4431 *Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz*
4433 * Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
4437 * New "unified" build system
4439 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
4440 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
4442 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
4443 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
4444 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
4446 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
4447 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
4448 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
4449 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
4452 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
4453 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
4454 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
4455 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
4456 libraries" in INSTALL.
4458 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
4462 * Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
4463 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
4464 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
4465 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
4469 * The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
4470 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
4472 * Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
4473 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
4474 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
4475 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
4476 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
4477 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
4478 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
4479 have been adapted accordingly.
4483 * RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
4488 * CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
4489 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
4490 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
4491 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
4495 * The signature of the session callback configured with
4496 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
4497 was explicitly marked as `const unsigned char*` instead of
4502 * Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
4503 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
4507 * Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
4508 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
4509 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
4511 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
4512 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
4514 *Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov*
4516 * Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
4518 *Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov*
4520 * Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
4521 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
4522 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
4523 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
4526 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
4527 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
4528 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
4529 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
4530 configuration in one of the `Configurations/*.conf` files (in
4535 * To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
4536 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
4537 straightforward and less interdependent.
4539 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
4540 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
4541 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
4543 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
4544 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
4545 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
4547 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
4548 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
4549 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
4550 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
4552 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
4553 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
4557 * The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
4558 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
4559 See: <https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries>. Libssl still retains
4560 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
4565 * EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
4568 *Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz*
4570 * The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
4571 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
4572 before trying to build now.*
4576 * The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
4581 * Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
4583 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
4584 the application's responsibility. The application provides
4585 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
4586 used to authenticate the peer.
4588 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
4589 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
4590 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
4591 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
4592 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
4596 * Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
4597 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
4598 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
4599 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
4600 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
4601 or the 1.1.0 releases.
4603 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
4604 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
4605 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
4606 support for the deprecated features from the library and
4607 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
4608 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
4609 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
4610 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
4613 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
4614 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
4615 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
4616 compile with later releases.
4618 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
4619 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
4620 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
4621 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
4622 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
4626 * Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
4627 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
4628 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
4629 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
4630 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
4631 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
4632 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
4633 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
4637 * Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
4641 * New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
4642 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
4643 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
4646 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
4647 include the ec.h header file instead.
4651 * Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
4652 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
4653 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
4657 * Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
4658 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
4661 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
4662 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
4664 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
4665 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
4666 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
4669 1) `EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()`, `EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup()` and
4670 `HMAC_CTX_cleanup()` were removed. `HMAC_CTX_reset()` and
4671 `EVP_MD_CTX_reset()` should be called instead to reinitialise
4672 an already created structure.
4673 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
4674 destructors, `EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy)` were renamed to
4675 `EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free)`. The old names are retained as macros
4676 for deprecated builds.
4680 * Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
4681 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
4682 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
4683 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
4684 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
4685 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
4686 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
4690 * SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
4691 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
4692 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
4693 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
4697 * SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
4698 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
4702 * Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
4703 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
4707 * State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
4708 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
4709 with the old code (see [ssl/statem/README.md](ssl/statem/README.md) for
4710 further details). This change does have some associated API changes.
4711 Notably the SSL_state() function has been removed and replaced by
4712 SSL_get_state which now returns an "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int.
4713 SSL_set_state() has been removed altogether. The previous handshake states
4714 defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have also been removed.
4718 * All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
4719 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
4720 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
4724 * The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
4728 * Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
4731 *Matt Caswell, Rich Salz*
4733 * New ASN.1 embed macro.
4735 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
4736 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
4744 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
4745 set a mandatory field to NULL.
4747 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
4748 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
4749 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
4754 * Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
4758 * Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
4759 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
4760 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
4761 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
4765 * Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
4766 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
4767 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
4768 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
4772 * Fix no-stdio build.
4773 *David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also*
4774 *Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com>*
4776 * New testing framework
4777 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
4778 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
4779 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
4780 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
4781 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
4782 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
4784 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
4786 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
4787 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
4791 * Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
4792 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
4793 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
4794 and others were changed. All are now documented.
4798 * In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
4801 *Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>*
4803 * Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
4804 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
4806 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
4807 original RSA_PSK patch.
4811 * Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
4812 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
4813 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
4814 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
4818 * Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
4819 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
4823 * Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
4824 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
4825 hasn't been working properly for a while.
4829 * The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
4830 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
4831 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
4832 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
4837 * Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
4838 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
4839 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
4840 not well tested). Therefore, the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
4844 * Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
4845 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
4846 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
4847 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
4848 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
4849 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
4853 * Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
4854 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
4855 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
4856 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
4857 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
4858 header file has been removed.
4862 * Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
4863 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
4867 * RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
4868 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
4869 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
4871 * Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
4876 * Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
4880 * Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
4885 * RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
4889 * Added support for TLS extended master secret from
4890 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
4891 initial patch which was a great help during development.
4895 * All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
4896 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
4897 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
4898 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
4902 * config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
4903 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
4904 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
4905 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
4906 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
4907 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
4911 * Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
4912 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
4913 at <https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf>. Support
4914 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
4918 * SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving an SSLv2
4919 compatible client hello.
4923 * Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
4924 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
4926 *Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>*
4928 * CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
4932 * Removed old DES API.
4936 * Remove various unsupported platforms:
4942 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
4947 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
4951 * Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
4952 - Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
4953 - Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
4954 - OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
4955 - OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
4956 - OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
4957 - Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
4958 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
4959 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
4960 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
4961 - Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
4965 * Cleaned up dead code
4966 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
4970 * Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
4971 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
4972 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
4976 * Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
4977 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
4978 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
4982 * Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
4983 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
4985 *Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>*
4987 * New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
4988 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
4990 *Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>*
4992 * Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
4995 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
4997 * Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
4998 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
5000 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
5002 * Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
5004 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
5006 * A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
5007 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
5010 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
5011 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
5012 preparing the fix ([CVE-2014-0160])
5014 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
5016 * Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
5017 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
5018 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
5019 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140>
5021 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
5022 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix ([CVE-2014-0076])
5024 *Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger*
5026 * Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
5027 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
5031 * Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
5033 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
5034 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
5036 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
5037 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
5039 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
5042 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
5046 * Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
5047 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
5048 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
5049 algorithms and include tests cases.
5053 * Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
5058 * Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
5059 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
5063 * Make openssl verify return errors.
5065 *Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie*
5067 * New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
5068 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
5072 * Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
5073 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
5078 * Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
5079 sign or verify all in one operation.
5083 * Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
5084 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
5085 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
5089 * Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
5093 * Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
5097 * Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
5098 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
5099 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
5100 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
5101 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
5105 * New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
5110 * More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
5111 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
5112 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
5116 * Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
5119 * Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
5120 POST to handle HMAC cases.
5124 * Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
5125 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
5129 * Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
5130 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
5131 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
5135 * Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
5136 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
5137 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
5138 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
5139 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
5140 requested amount of entropy.
5144 * Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
5145 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
5149 * CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
5150 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
5151 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
5156 * Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
5157 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
5158 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
5162 * XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
5163 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
5164 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
5165 will never use XTS mode.
5169 * Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
5170 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
5171 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
5172 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
5173 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
5174 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
5178 * Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form `FIPS_rand*` to `FIPS_x931*`.
5179 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
5180 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
5181 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
5185 * Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
5186 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
5187 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
5191 * Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
5195 * New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
5199 * New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
5200 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
5204 * Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
5205 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
5209 * Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
5210 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
5214 * Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
5215 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
5216 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
5217 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
5218 and rename any affected symbols.
5222 * Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
5223 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
5227 * Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
5228 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
5229 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
5233 * New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
5237 * New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
5238 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
5239 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
5243 * Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
5244 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
5248 * Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
5249 setting output buffer to NULL. The `*Final` function must be
5250 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
5251 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
5252 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
5253 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
5258 * New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
5259 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
5260 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
5261 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
5262 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
5263 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
5264 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
5265 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
5269 * If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
5270 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
5274 * Improve forward-security support: add functions
5276 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(
5277 SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
5278 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(
5279 SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
5281 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
5282 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
5283 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
5284 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
5285 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
5286 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
5288 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
5289 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
5290 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
5293 *Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)*
5295 * New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
5300 * Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
5301 Add CMAC pkey methods.
5305 * Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
5306 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
5307 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
5311 * Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
5312 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
5313 multi-process servers.
5317 * Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
5318 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
5319 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
5320 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
5321 RAND_METHOD structure.
5325 * New macro `__owur` for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
5326 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
5327 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
5328 whose return value is often ignored.
5332 * New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
5333 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
5334 validated when establishing a connection.
5336 *Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>*
5341 ### Changes between 1.0.2s and 1.0.2t [10 Sep 2019]
5343 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
5344 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a encoded key
5345 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
5346 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
5347 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
5348 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
5349 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
5350 encoded, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
5351 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
5355 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
5356 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
5357 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
5358 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
5363 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
5364 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
5365 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
5366 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
5367 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
5368 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
5369 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
5370 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
5371 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
5372 certificate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
5373 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
5374 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
5379 * Document issue with installation paths in diverse Windows builds
5381 '/usr/local/ssl' is an unsafe prefix for location to install OpenSSL
5382 binaries and run-time config file.
5387 ### Changes between 1.0.2r and 1.0.2s [28 May 2019]
5389 * Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
5390 This changes the size when using the `genpkey` command when no size is given.
5391 It fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
5392 generation commands to use 2048 bits by default.
5396 * Add FIPS support for Android Arm 64-bit
5398 Support for Android Arm 64-bit was added to the OpenSSL FIPS Object
5399 Module in Version 2.0.10. For some reason, the corresponding target
5400 'android64-aarch64' was missing OpenSSL 1.0.2, whence it could not be
5401 built with FIPS support on Android Arm 64-bit. This omission has been
5404 *Matthias St. Pierre*
5406 ### Changes between 1.0.2q and 1.0.2r [26 Feb 2019]
5408 * 0-byte record padding oracle
5410 If an application encounters a fatal protocol error and then calls
5411 SSL_shutdown() twice (once to send a close_notify, and once to receive one)
5412 then OpenSSL can respond differently to the calling application if a 0 byte
5413 record is received with invalid padding compared to if a 0 byte record is
5414 received with an invalid MAC. If the application then behaves differently
5415 based on that in a way that is detectable to the remote peer, then this
5416 amounts to a padding oracle that could be used to decrypt data.
5418 In order for this to be exploitable "non-stitched" ciphersuites must be in
5419 use. Stitched ciphersuites are optimised implementations of certain
5420 commonly used ciphersuites. Also the application must call SSL_shutdown()
5421 twice even if a protocol error has occurred (applications should not do
5422 this but some do anyway).
5424 This issue was discovered by Juraj Somorovsky, Robert Merget and Nimrod
5425 Aviram, with additional investigation by Steven Collison and Andrew
5426 Hourselt. It was reported to OpenSSL on 10th December 2018.
5431 * Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
5435 ### Changes between 1.0.2p and 1.0.2q [20 Nov 2018]
5437 * Microarchitecture timing vulnerability in ECC scalar multiplication
5439 OpenSSL ECC scalar multiplication, used in e.g. ECDSA and ECDH, has been
5440 shown to be vulnerable to a microarchitecture timing side channel attack.
5441 An attacker with sufficient access to mount local timing attacks during
5442 ECDSA signature generation could recover the private key.
5444 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th October 2018 by Alejandro
5445 Cabrera Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Cesar Pereida Garcia and
5451 * Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
5453 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
5454 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
5455 algorithm to recover the private key.
5457 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
5462 * Resolve a compatibility issue in EC_GROUP handling with the FIPS Object
5463 Module, accidentally introduced while backporting security fixes from the
5464 development branch and hindering the use of ECC in FIPS mode.
5468 ### Changes between 1.0.2o and 1.0.2p [14 Aug 2018]
5470 * Client DoS due to large DH parameter
5472 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
5473 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
5474 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
5475 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
5476 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
5478 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
5483 * Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
5485 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
5486 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
5487 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
5488 recover the private key.
5490 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
5491 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
5496 * Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
5497 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
5498 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
5502 * Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
5503 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
5507 * Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
5508 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
5509 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
5510 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
5513 *Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar*
5515 * Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
5519 * Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
5520 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
5524 * When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
5525 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
5529 * Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
5530 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
5531 are no longer allowed.
5535 ### Changes between 1.0.2n and 1.0.2o [27 Mar 2018]
5537 * Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
5539 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
5540 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
5541 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
5542 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
5543 so this is considered safe.
5545 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
5551 ### Changes between 1.0.2m and 1.0.2n [7 Dec 2017]
5553 * Read/write after SSL object in error state
5555 OpenSSL 1.0.2 (starting from version 1.0.2b) introduced an "error state"
5556 mechanism. The intent was that if a fatal error occurred during a handshake
5557 then OpenSSL would move into the error state and would immediately fail if
5558 you attempted to continue the handshake. This works as designed for the
5559 explicit handshake functions (SSL_do_handshake(), SSL_accept() and
5560 SSL_connect()), however due to a bug it does not work correctly if
5561 SSL_read() or SSL_write() is called directly. In that scenario, if the
5562 handshake fails then a fatal error will be returned in the initial function
5563 call. If SSL_read()/SSL_write() is subsequently called by the application
5564 for the same SSL object then it will succeed and the data is passed without
5565 being decrypted/encrypted directly from the SSL/TLS record layer.
5567 In order to exploit this issue an application bug would have to be present
5568 that resulted in a call to SSL_read()/SSL_write() being issued after having
5569 already received a fatal error.
5571 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google).
5576 * rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
5578 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
5579 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
5580 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
5581 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
5582 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
5583 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
5584 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
5585 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
5586 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
5587 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
5589 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
5590 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
5592 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
5593 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
5598 ### Changes between 1.0.2l and 1.0.2m [2 Nov 2017]
5600 * bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
5602 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
5603 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
5604 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
5605 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
5606 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
5607 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
5608 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
5609 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
5610 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
5611 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
5612 key that is shared between multiple clients.
5614 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
5615 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
5617 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
5622 * Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
5624 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
5625 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
5626 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
5628 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
5632 ### Changes between 1.0.2k and 1.0.2l [25 May 2017]
5634 * Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
5635 platform rather than 'mingw'.
5639 ### Changes between 1.0.2j and 1.0.2k [26 Jan 2017]
5641 * Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
5643 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
5644 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
5645 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
5647 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
5652 * BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
5654 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
5655 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
5656 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
5657 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
5658 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
5659 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
5660 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
5661 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
5662 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
5663 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
5664 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
5665 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
5666 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
5668 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
5673 * Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
5675 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
5676 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
5677 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
5678 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
5679 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
5680 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
5681 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
5682 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
5683 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
5684 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
5685 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
5686 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
5687 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
5688 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
5690 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
5691 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
5692 providing reproducible case.
5697 * OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
5698 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
5699 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
5700 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
5704 ### Changes between 1.0.2i and 1.0.2j [26 Sep 2016]
5706 * Missing CRL sanity check
5708 A bug fix which included a CRL sanity check was added to OpenSSL 1.1.0
5709 but was omitted from OpenSSL 1.0.2i. As a result any attempt to use
5710 CRLs in OpenSSL 1.0.2i will crash with a null pointer exception.
5712 This issue only affects the OpenSSL 1.0.2i
5717 ### Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.0.2i [22 Sep 2016]
5719 * OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
5721 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
5722 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
5723 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
5724 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
5725 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
5726 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
5727 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
5729 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5734 * In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
5737 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
5743 * OOB write in MDC2_Update()
5745 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
5746 through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
5747 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
5748 call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
5749 can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
5751 The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
5754 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5759 * Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
5761 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
5762 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
5765 The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
5766 a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
5768 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5773 * OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
5775 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
5776 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
5777 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
5778 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
5779 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
5781 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5786 * OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
5788 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
5789 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
5790 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
5793 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5798 * Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
5800 Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
5802 A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
5805 Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
5808 "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
5811 The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
5812 defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is actually
5813 undefined behaviour.
5815 For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
5816 provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
5817 values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
5819 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
5824 * Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
5826 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
5827 order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
5828 implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
5829 certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
5830 attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
5832 This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
5833 (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
5834 Adelaide and NICTA).
5839 * DTLS buffered message DoS
5841 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
5842 those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
5843 for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
5844 those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
5845 has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
5846 remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
5847 be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
5848 a message is 100k. Therefore, the attacker could force an additional 1500k
5849 to be consumed per connection. By opening many simultaneous connections an
5850 attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
5852 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
5857 * DTLS replay protection DoS
5859 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
5860 that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
5861 the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
5862 attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
5863 decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
5864 that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
5865 service for a specific DTLS connection.
5867 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
5872 * Certificate message OOB reads
5874 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
5875 in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
5876 theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
5879 The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
5880 and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
5881 against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
5883 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5888 ### Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
5890 * Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
5892 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
5893 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
5896 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
5897 attack ([CVE-2013-0169]). The padding check was rewritten to be in
5898 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
5899 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
5900 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
5903 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
5907 * Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
5909 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
5910 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
5911 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
5914 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
5915 the `PEM_write_bio*` family of functions. These are mainly used within the
5916 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
5917 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
5918 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
5919 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
5921 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
5926 * Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
5928 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
5929 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
5930 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
5931 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
5932 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
5933 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
5934 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
5935 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
5936 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
5937 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
5938 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
5939 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
5940 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
5941 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
5942 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
5943 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
5945 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
5950 * Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
5952 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
5953 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
5954 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
5956 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
5957 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
5958 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
5959 applications are not affected.
5961 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
5968 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
5969 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
5970 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
5972 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
5977 * Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
5978 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
5982 * Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
5987 * Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
5988 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
5992 ### Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
5994 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
5995 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
5996 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
6000 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
6001 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
6002 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
6003 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
6004 will need to explicitly call either of:
6006 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
6008 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
6010 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
6011 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
6012 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
6013 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
6014 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
6019 * Fix a double-free in DSA code
6021 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
6022 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
6023 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
6026 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
6032 * Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
6034 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
6036 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
6037 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
6038 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
6041 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
6042 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
6043 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
6044 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
6045 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
6046 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
6047 that of a valid user.
6052 * Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
6054 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
6055 int value `i`. Later `bn_expand` is called with a value of `i * 4`. For
6056 large values of `i` this can result in `bn_expand` not allocating any
6057 memory because `i * 4` is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
6058 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
6059 of `i`, the calculation `i * 4` could be a positive value smaller than `i`.
6060 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
6061 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
6062 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
6063 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
6064 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
6066 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
6067 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
6068 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
6069 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
6070 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
6072 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
6077 * Fix memory issues in `BIO_*printf` functions
6079 The internal `fmtstr` function used in processing a "%s" format string in
6080 the `BIO_*printf` functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
6081 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
6083 Additionally the internal `doapr_outch` function can attempt to write to an
6084 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
6085 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
6086 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
6087 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
6090 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
6091 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
6092 is passed to the `BIO_*printf` functions. If applications use these functions
6093 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
6094 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
6095 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
6096 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
6097 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
6098 as command line arguments.
6100 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
6101 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
6102 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
6104 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
6109 * Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
6111 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
6112 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
6113 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
6114 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
6115 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
6117 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
6118 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
6119 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
6120 <http://cachebleed.info>.
6125 * Change the `req` command to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
6126 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
6127 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
6128 commands to use 2048 bits by default.
6132 ### Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
6134 * DH small subgroups
6136 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
6137 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
6138 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
6139 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
6140 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
6141 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
6142 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
6143 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
6144 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
6145 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
6147 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
6148 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
6149 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
6150 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
6151 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
6153 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
6154 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
6155 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
6156 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
6158 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
6159 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
6161 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
6166 * SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
6168 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
6169 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
6170 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
6173 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
6174 and Sebastian Schinzel.
6179 ### Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
6181 * BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
6183 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
6184 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
6185 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
6186 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
6187 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
6188 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
6189 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
6190 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
6191 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
6192 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
6193 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
6194 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
6196 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
6201 * Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
6203 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
6204 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
6205 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
6206 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
6207 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
6208 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
6209 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
6212 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
6217 * X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
6219 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
6220 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
6221 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
6222 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
6224 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
6230 * Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
6231 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
6232 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
6233 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
6237 * In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,

6242 ### Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
6244 * Alternate chains certificate forgery
6246 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
6247 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
6248 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
6249 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
6250 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
6251 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
6253 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
6258 ### Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
6260 * Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
6261 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
6266 ### Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
6268 * Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
6270 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
6271 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
6274 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
6275 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
6276 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
6277 client authentication enabled.
6279 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
6284 * Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
6286 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
6287 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
6288 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
6291 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
6292 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
6293 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
6294 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
6295 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
6298 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
6299 independently by Hanno Böck.
6304 * PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
6306 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
6307 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
6308 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
6310 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
6311 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
6312 servers are not affected.
6314 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
6319 * CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
6321 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
6322 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
6323 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
6325 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
6330 * Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
6332 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
6333 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
6334 a double free of the ticket data.
6339 * Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
6340 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
6341 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
6345 ### Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
6347 * ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
6349 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
6350 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
6351 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
6353 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
6357 *Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell*
6359 * Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
6361 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
6362 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
6363 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
6364 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
6365 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
6366 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
6367 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
6368 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
6370 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
6375 * Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
6377 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
6378 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
6379 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
6380 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
6381 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
6382 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
6383 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
6384 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
6387 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
6392 * Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
6394 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
6395 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
6396 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
6397 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
6398 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
6399 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
6404 * Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
6406 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
6407 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
6408 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
6409 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
6410 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
6411 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
6412 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
6414 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
6419 * ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
6421 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
6422 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
6423 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
6425 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
6426 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
6427 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
6433 * PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
6435 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
6436 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
6437 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
6439 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
6440 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
6441 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
6443 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
6448 * DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
6450 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
6451 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
6452 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
6454 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
6455 (OpenSSL development team).
6460 * Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
6462 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
6463 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
6464 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
6469 * Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
6471 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
6472 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
6473 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
6474 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
6475 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
6476 SSL_client_methodv23)
6477 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
6478 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
6480 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
6481 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
6482 output may be predictable.
6484 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
6485 succeed on an unpatched platform:
6487 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
6492 * Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
6494 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
6495 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
6496 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
6497 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
6498 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
6499 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
6501 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
6507 * X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
6509 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
6510 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
6512 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
6517 * Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
6521 ### Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
6523 * Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
6524 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
6525 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
6526 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
6527 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
6528 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
6532 * Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
6533 (other platforms pending).
6535 *Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov*
6537 * Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
6538 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
6542 * Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
6543 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
6544 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
6548 * Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
6549 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
6550 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
6551 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
6555 * Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
6557 *Marcelo Cerri (IBM)*
6559 * Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
6560 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
6561 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
6562 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
6564 *Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)*
6566 * Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
6570 * Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
6571 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
6572 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
6574 *Andy Polyakov, David Miller*
6576 * Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
6579 *Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)*
6581 * Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
6582 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
6583 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
6586 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
6590 * Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
6591 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
6592 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
6596 * Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
6597 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
6601 * Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
6602 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
6606 * Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
6607 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
6608 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
6609 algorithms and include tests cases.
6613 * Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
6616 *Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson*
6618 * New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
6619 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
6623 * Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
6624 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
6625 summary of the connection parameters.
6629 * New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
6630 of connection parameters.
6634 * Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
6636 *Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie*
6638 * New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
6639 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
6643 * New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
6647 * New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
6648 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
6652 * New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
6653 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
6657 * Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
6662 * Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
6663 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
6664 CRLs using the OCSP API.
6668 * Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
6672 * `SSL_CONF*` functions. These provide a common framework for application
6673 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
6677 * SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
6678 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
6679 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
6684 * New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
6685 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
6689 * New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
6694 * Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
6699 * New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
6700 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
6701 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
6702 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
6706 * New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
6707 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
6711 * Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
6712 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
6713 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
6718 * If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
6719 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
6720 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
6721 use the certificate.
6725 * If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
6729 * Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
6730 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
6731 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
6732 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
6733 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
6734 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
6735 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
6737 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
6738 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
6742 * New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
6743 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
6744 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
6748 * New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
6749 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
6750 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
6751 supported signature algorithms.
6755 * Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
6759 * Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
6760 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
6761 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
6762 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
6763 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
6764 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
6765 certificate and specify the whole chain.
6769 * Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
6770 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
6771 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
6772 to have similar checks in it.
6774 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
6775 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
6776 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
6777 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
6778 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
6782 * Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
6783 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
6784 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
6785 shared signature algorithms.
6789 * Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
6790 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
6795 * New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
6796 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
6797 it couldn't be removed.
6801 * Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
6802 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
6806 * Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
6807 functions. Add manual page.
6809 *Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)*
6811 * New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
6812 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
6817 * Fix OCSP checking.
6819 *Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie*
6821 * Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
6822 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
6823 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
6824 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
6829 * Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
6830 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
6834 * MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
6835 platform support for Linux and Android.
6839 * Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
6843 * Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
6844 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
6845 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
6846 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
6847 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
6851 * Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
6852 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
6853 the new parameter format automatically.
6857 * Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
6858 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
6862 * Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
6866 * Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
6867 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
6868 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
6869 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
6870 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
6874 * Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
6875 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
6876 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
6877 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
6878 to set list of supported curves.
6882 * New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
6883 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
6884 to print out received values.
6888 * Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
6889 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
6890 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
6894 * Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
6895 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
6899 * Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
6900 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
6904 * Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
6909 * New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
6911 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
6912 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
6913 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
6918 ### Changes between 1.0.1t and 1.0.1u [22 Sep 2016]
6920 * OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
6922 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
6923 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
6924 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
6925 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
6926 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
6927 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
6928 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
6930 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
6935 * In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
6938 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
6944 * OOB write in MDC2_Update()
6946 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
6947 through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
6948 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
6949 call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
6950 can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
6952 The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
6955 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
6960 * Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
6962 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
6963 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
6966 The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
6967 a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
6969 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
6974 * OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
6976 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
6977 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
6978 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
6979 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
6980 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
6982 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
6987 * OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
6989 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
6990 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
6991 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
6994 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
6999 * Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
7001 Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
7003 A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
7006 Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
7009 "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
7012 The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
7013 defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore, the above idiom is actually
7014 undefined behaviour.
7016 For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
7017 provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
7018 values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
7020 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
7025 * Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
7027 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
7028 order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
7029 implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
7030 certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
7031 attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
7033 This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
7034 (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
7035 Adelaide and NICTA).
7040 * DTLS buffered message DoS
7042 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
7043 those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
7044 for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
7045 those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
7046 has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
7047 remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
7048 be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
7049 a message is 100k. Therefore, the attacker could force an additional 1500k
7050 to be consumed per connection. By opening many simultaneous connections an
7051 attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
7053 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
7058 * DTLS replay protection DoS
7060 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
7061 that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
7062 the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
7063 attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
7064 decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
7065 that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
7066 service for a specific DTLS connection.
7068 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
7073 * Certificate message OOB reads
7075 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
7076 in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
7077 theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
7080 The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
7081 and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
7082 against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
7084 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
7089 ### Changes between 1.0.1s and 1.0.1t [3 May 2016]
7091 * Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
7093 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
7094 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
7097 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
7098 attack ([CVE-2013-0169]). The padding check was rewritten to be in
7099 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
7100 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
7101 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
7104 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
7109 * Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
7111 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
7112 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
7113 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
7116 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
7117 the `PEM_write_bio*` family of functions. These are mainly used within the
7118 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
7119 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
7120 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
7121 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
7123 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
7128 * Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
7130 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
7131 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
7132 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
7133 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
7134 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
7135 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
7136 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
7137 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
7138 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
7139 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
7140 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
7141 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
7142 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
7143 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
7144 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
7145 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
7147 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
7152 * Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
7154 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
7155 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
7156 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
7158 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
7159 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
7160 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
7161 applications are not affected.
7163 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
7170 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
7171 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
7172 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
7174 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
7179 * Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
7180 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
7184 * Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
7189 * Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
7190 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
7194 ### Changes between 1.0.1r and 1.0.1s [1 Mar 2016]
7196 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
7197 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
7198 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
7202 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
7203 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
7204 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
7205 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
7206 will need to explicitly call either of:
7208 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
7210 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
7212 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
7213 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
7214 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
7215 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
7216 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
7221 * Fix a double-free in DSA code
7223 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
7224 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
7225 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
7228 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
7234 * Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
7236 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
7238 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
7239 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
7240 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
7243 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
7244 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
7245 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
7246 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
7247 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
7248 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
7249 that of a valid user.
7254 * Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
7256 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
7257 int value `i`. Later `bn_expand` is called with a value of `i * 4`. For
7258 large values of `i` this can result in `bn_expand` not allocating any
7259 memory because `i * 4` is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
7260 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
7261 of `i`, the calculation `i * 4` could be a positive value smaller than `i`.
7262 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
7263 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
7264 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
7265 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
7266 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
7268 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
7269 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
7270 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
7271 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
7272 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
7274 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
7279 * Fix memory issues in `BIO_*printf` functions
7281 The internal `fmtstr` function used in processing a "%s" format string in
7282 the `BIO_*printf` functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
7283 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
7285 Additionally the internal `doapr_outch` function can attempt to write to an
7286 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
7287 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
7288 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
7289 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
7292 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
7293 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
7294 is passed to the `BIO_*printf` functions. If applications use these functions
7295 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
7296 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
7297 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
7298 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
7299 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
7300 as command line arguments.
7302 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
7303 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
7304 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
7306 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
7311 * Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
7313 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
7314 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
7315 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
7316 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
7317 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
7319 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
7320 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
7321 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
7322 <http://cachebleed.info>.
7327 * Change the req command to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
7328 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
7329 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
7330 commands to use 2048 bits by default.
7334 ### Changes between 1.0.1q and 1.0.1r [28 Jan 2016]
7336 * Protection for DH small subgroup attacks
7338 As a precautionary measure the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been
7339 switched on by default and cannot be disabled. This could have some
7344 * SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
7346 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
7347 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
7348 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
7351 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
7352 and Sebastian Schinzel.
7357 * Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024 bits.
7361 ### Changes between 1.0.1p and 1.0.1q [3 Dec 2015]
7363 * Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
7365 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
7366 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
7367 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
7368 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
7369 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
7370 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
7371 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
7374 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
7379 * X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
7381 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
7382 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
7383 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
7384 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
7386 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
7392 * Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
7393 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
7394 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
7395 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
7399 * In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
7400 use a random seed, as already documented.
7402 *Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>*
7404 ### Changes between 1.0.1o and 1.0.1p [9 Jul 2015]
7406 * Alternate chains certificate forgery
7408 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
7409 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
7410 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
7411 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
7412 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
7413 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
7415 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
7421 * Race condition handling PSK identify hint
7423 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
7424 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
7425 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
7431 ### Changes between 1.0.1n and 1.0.1o [12 Jun 2015]
7433 * Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
7434 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
7437 ### Changes between 1.0.1m and 1.0.1n [11 Jun 2015]
7439 * Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
7441 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
7442 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
7445 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
7446 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
7447 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
7448 client authentication enabled.
7450 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
7455 * Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
7457 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
7458 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
7459 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
7462 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
7463 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
7464 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
7465 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
7466 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
7469 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
7470 independently by Hanno Böck.
7475 * PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
7477 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
7478 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
7479 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
7481 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
7482 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
7483 servers are not affected.
7485 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
7490 * CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
7492 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
7493 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
7494 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
7496 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
7501 * Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
7503 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
7504 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
7505 a double free of the ticket data.
7510 * Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 768 bits.
7512 *Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper*
7514 * dhparam: generate 2048-bit parameters by default.
7516 *Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper*
7518 ### Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.1m [19 Mar 2015]
7520 * Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
7522 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
7523 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
7524 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
7525 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
7526 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
7527 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
7532 * ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
7534 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
7535 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
7536 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
7538 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
7539 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
7540 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
7546 * PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
7548 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
7549 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
7550 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
7552 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
7553 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
7554 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
7556 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
7561 * DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
7563 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
7564 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
7565 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
7567 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
7568 (OpenSSL development team).
7573 * Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
7575 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
7576 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
7577 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
7578 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
7579 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
7580 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
7582 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
7588 * X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
7590 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
7591 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
7593 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
7598 * Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
7602 ### Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
7604 * Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
7606 *Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte*
7608 ### Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
7610 * Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
7611 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
7612 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
7613 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
7618 * Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
7619 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
7620 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
7621 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
7622 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
7623 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
7628 * Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
7629 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
7630 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
7631 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
7636 * Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
7639 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
7640 reporting this issue.
7645 * Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
7646 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
7647 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
7648 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
7649 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
7650 INRIA or reporting this issue.
7655 * Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
7656 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
7657 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
7658 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
7659 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
7660 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
7661 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
7667 * Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
7668 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
7670 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
7671 and can vary with the CTX.
7675 * Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
7677 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
7678 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
7679 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
7680 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
7681 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
7683 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
7685 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
7686 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
7688 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
7690 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
7691 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
7692 errors for some broken certificates.
7694 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
7696 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
7698 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
7699 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
7701 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
7702 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
7703 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
7704 (negative or with leading zeroes).
7706 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
7707 of the OpenSSL core team.
7713 * Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
7714 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
7715 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
7716 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
7717 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
7718 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
7719 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
7720 the OpenSSL core team.
7725 * Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
7726 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
7727 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
7728 sanity and breaks all known clients.
7730 *David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper*
7732 * Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
7733 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
7734 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
7738 * Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
7739 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
7740 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
7741 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
7742 announced in the initial ServerHello.
7744 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
7745 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
7746 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
7750 ### Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
7754 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
7755 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
7756 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
7757 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
7758 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
7759 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
7760 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
7762 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
7767 * Session Ticket Memory Leak.
7769 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
7770 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
7771 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
7772 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
7773 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
7779 * Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
7781 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
7782 could accept and complete an SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
7783 configured to send them.
7786 *Akamai and the OpenSSL team*
7788 * Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
7789 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
7790 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
7793 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
7795 * Add additional DigestInfo checks.
7797 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
7798 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
7799 DigestInfo structures.
7801 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
7805 ### Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
7807 * Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
7808 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
7809 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
7811 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
7812 Group for discovering this issue.
7817 * A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
7818 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
7819 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
7820 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
7821 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
7823 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
7824 researching this issue.
7829 * OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
7830 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
7831 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
7832 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
7834 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
7840 * By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
7841 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
7842 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
7847 * An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
7848 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
7849 Denial of Service attack.
7850 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
7855 * An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
7856 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
7857 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
7858 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
7864 * If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
7865 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
7866 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
7868 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
7874 * A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
7875 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
7876 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
7877 Denial of Service attack.
7879 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
7880 discovering and researching this issue.
7885 * A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
7886 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
7887 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
7888 output to the attacker.
7890 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
7893 *Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson*
7895 * Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
7896 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
7897 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
7901 ### Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
7903 * Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
7904 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
7905 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
7907 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
7908 researching this issue. ([CVE-2014-0224])
7910 *KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson*
7912 * Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
7913 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
7916 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
7919 *Imre Rad, Steve Henson*
7921 * Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
7922 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
7923 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
7924 code on a vulnerable client or server.
7926 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. ([CVE-2014-0195])
7928 *Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson*
7930 * Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
7931 are subject to a denial of service attack.
7933 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
7934 this issue. ([CVE-2014-3470])
7936 *Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson*
7938 * Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
7941 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
7943 * Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
7944 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
7946 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
7948 * Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
7950 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
7952 ### Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
7954 * A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
7955 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
7958 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
7959 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
7960 preparing the fix ([CVE-2014-0160])
7962 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
7964 * Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
7965 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
7966 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
7967 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140>
7969 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
7970 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix ([CVE-2014-0076])
7972 *Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger*
7974 * TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
7976 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
7977 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
7978 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
7979 is at least 512 bytes long.
7981 *Adam Langley, Steve Henson*
7983 ### Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
7985 * Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
7986 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
7987 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
7990 * Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
7991 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
7992 to be resent. ([CVE-2013-6450])
7996 * Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
7997 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
7998 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
7999 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
8000 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
8001 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
8003 *Rob Stradling, Adam Langley*
8005 ### Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
8007 * Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
8008 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
8010 *Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
8012 ### Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
8014 * Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
8016 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
8017 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
8018 at: <http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/>
8020 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
8021 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
8022 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
8023 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
8026 *Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
8028 * Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
8029 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
8030 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
8031 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
8032 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
8037 * Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
8038 This fixes a DoS attack. ([CVE-2013-0166])
8042 * Make openssl verify return errors.
8044 *Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie*
8046 * Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
8047 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
8048 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
8049 See <http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836>.
8051 *Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>*
8053 * Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
8057 * Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
8062 ### Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
8064 * Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
8065 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
8067 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
8068 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
8073 * Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
8074 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
8078 * In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
8083 ### Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
8085 * OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
8086 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
8087 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
8088 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
8089 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
8090 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
8091 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
8092 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
8093 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
8094 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
8098 * In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
8099 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
8100 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
8101 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
8102 above, it's not sufficient to pass `SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1`, one has to pass
8103 `SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2`. This applies to
8108 ### Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
8110 * Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
8111 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
8112 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
8114 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
8115 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
8118 *Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team*
8120 * Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
8124 * Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
8125 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
8127 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
8128 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
8129 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
8130 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
8131 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
8132 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
8133 Most broken servers should now work.
8134 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
8135 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
8139 * Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
8143 ### Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
8145 * Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
8146 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
8150 * The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
8151 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
8152 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
8153 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
8154 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
8158 * Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
8159 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
8160 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
8161 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
8162 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
8166 * Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
8168 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>*
8170 * Add support for SCTP.
8172 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>*
8174 * Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
8176 *Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>*
8178 * Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
8180 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
8181 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
8182 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
8183 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
8184 - s390x: z196 support;
8185 - `*`: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
8189 * Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
8190 (removal of unnecessary code)
8192 *Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>*
8194 * Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
8198 * Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
8202 * Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
8203 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00>. Can be
8204 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
8207 *Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie*
8209 * Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
8210 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
8211 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type `__uint128_t` is
8212 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
8213 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
8215 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
8216 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
8217 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
8219 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
8220 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
8221 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
8223 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
8224 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
8227 *Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)*
8229 * Use type ossl_ssize_t instead of ssize_t which isn't available on
8230 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
8231 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
8235 * New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
8236 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
8241 * Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
8242 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
8243 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
8247 * Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
8248 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
8249 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
8250 the appropriate parameters.
8254 * Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
8255 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
8256 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
8257 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
8258 against a number of sample certificates.
8262 * Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
8264 *Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>*
8266 * Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
8267 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
8269 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
8270 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
8275 * Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
8280 * Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
8281 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
8282 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
8283 password based CMS).
8287 * Session-handling fixes:
8288 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
8289 but also support Session Tickets.
8290 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
8291 presented a ticket with an expired session.
8292 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
8293 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
8294 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
8296 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)*
8298 * Fix PSK session representation.
8302 * Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
8304 This work was sponsored by Intel.
8308 * Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
8309 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
8310 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
8311 RFC5289. Generalise some `AES*` cipherstrings to include GCM and
8312 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
8316 * Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
8317 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
8321 * Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
8322 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
8323 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
8327 * For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
8328 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
8329 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
8330 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
8334 * Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
8335 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
8336 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
8340 * Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
8342 *Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson*
8344 * Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
8348 * Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
8349 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
8353 * New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
8357 * Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
8358 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
8362 * Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
8363 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
8367 * Add similar low-level API blocking to ciphers.
8371 * low-level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
8372 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
8373 to use them can use the `private_*` version instead.
8377 * Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
8381 * Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
8385 * Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
8386 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
8390 * Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
8391 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
8392 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
8396 * Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
8400 * Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
8405 * Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
8406 FIPS modules versions.
8410 * Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
8411 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
8412 until after the certificate request message is received.
8416 * Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
8417 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
8418 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
8419 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
8423 * Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
8424 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
8425 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
8426 support yet and no support for client certificates.
8430 * Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
8431 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
8432 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
8433 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
8434 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
8435 and version checking.
8439 * New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
8440 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
8441 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
8442 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
8446 * A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
8447 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
8448 *Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
8449 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
8452 * Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
8456 * Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
8457 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
8459 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>*
8461 * Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
8462 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
8463 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
8467 * Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
8469 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson*
8471 * Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
8472 a few changes are required:
8474 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
8475 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
8476 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
8477 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
8478 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
8485 ### Changes between 1.0.0s and 1.0.0t [3 Dec 2015]
8487 * X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
8489 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
8490 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
8491 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
8492 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
8494 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
8500 * Race condition handling PSK identify hint
8502 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
8503 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
8504 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
8510 ### Changes between 1.0.0r and 1.0.0s [11 Jun 2015]
8512 * Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
8514 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
8515 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
8518 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
8519 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
8520 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
8521 client authentication enabled.
8523 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
8528 * Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
8530 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
8531 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
8532 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
8535 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
8536 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
8537 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
8538 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
8539 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
8542 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
8543 independently by Hanno Böck.
8548 * PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
8550 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
8551 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
8552 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
8554 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
8555 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
8556 servers are not affected.
8558 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
8563 * CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
8565 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
8566 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
8567 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
8569 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
8574 * Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
8576 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
8577 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
8578 a double free of the ticket data.
8583 ### Changes between 1.0.0q and 1.0.0r [19 Mar 2015]
8585 * Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
8587 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
8588 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
8589 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
8590 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
8591 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
8592 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
8597 * ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
8599 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
8600 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
8601 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
8603 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
8604 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
8605 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
8611 * PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
8613 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
8614 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
8615 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
8617 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
8618 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
8619 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
8621 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
8626 * DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
8628 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
8629 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
8630 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
8632 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
8633 (OpenSSL development team).
8638 * Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
8640 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
8641 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
8642 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
8643 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
8644 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
8645 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
8647 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
8653 * X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
8655 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
8656 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
8658 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
8663 * Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
8667 ### Changes between 1.0.0p and 1.0.0q [15 Jan 2015]
8669 * Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
8671 *Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte*
8673 ### Changes between 1.0.0o and 1.0.0p [8 Jan 2015]
8675 * Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
8676 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
8677 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
8678 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
8683 * Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
8684 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
8685 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
8686 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
8687 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
8688 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
8693 * Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
8694 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
8695 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
8696 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
8701 * Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
8704 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
8705 reporting this issue.
8710 * Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
8711 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
8712 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
8713 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
8714 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
8715 INRIA or reporting this issue.
8720 * Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
8721 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
8722 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
8723 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
8724 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
8725 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
8726 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
8732 * Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
8733 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
8734 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
8735 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
8736 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
8737 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
8738 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
8739 the OpenSSL core team.
8744 * Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
8746 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
8747 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
8748 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
8749 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
8750 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
8752 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
8754 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
8755 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
8757 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
8759 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
8760 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
8761 errors for some broken certificates.
8763 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
8765 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
8767 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
8768 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
8770 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
8771 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
8772 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
8773 (negative or with leading zeroes).
8775 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
8776 of the OpenSSL core team.
8782 ### Changes between 1.0.0n and 1.0.0o [15 Oct 2014]
8784 * Session Ticket Memory Leak.
8786 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
8787 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
8788 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
8789 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
8790 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
8796 * Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
8798 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
8799 could accept and complete an SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
8800 configured to send them.
8803 *Akamai and the OpenSSL team*
8805 * Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
8806 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
8807 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
8810 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
8812 * Add additional DigestInfo checks.
8814 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
8815 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
8816 DigestInfo structures.
8818 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
8822 ### Changes between 1.0.0m and 1.0.0n [6 Aug 2014]
8824 * OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
8825 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
8826 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
8827 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
8829 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
8835 * By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
8836 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
8837 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
8842 * An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
8843 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
8844 Denial of Service attack.
8845 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
8850 * An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
8851 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
8852 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
8853 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
8859 * If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
8860 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
8861 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
8863 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
8869 * A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
8870 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
8871 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
8872 output to the attacker.
8874 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
8877 *Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson*
8879 * Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
8880 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
8881 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
8885 ### Changes between 1.0.0l and 1.0.0m [5 Jun 2014]
8887 * Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
8888 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
8889 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
8891 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
8892 researching this issue. ([CVE-2014-0224])
8894 *KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson*
8896 * Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
8897 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
8900 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
8903 *Imre Rad, Steve Henson*
8905 * Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
8906 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
8907 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
8908 code on a vulnerable client or server.
8910 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. ([CVE-2014-0195])
8912 *Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson*
8914 * Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
8915 are subject to a denial of service attack.
8917 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
8918 this issue. ([CVE-2014-3470])
8920 *Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson*
8922 * Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
8925 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
8927 * Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
8928 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
8930 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
8932 * Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
8934 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
8936 * Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
8937 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
8938 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
8939 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140>
8941 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
8942 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix ([CVE-2014-0076])
8944 *Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger*
8946 ### Changes between 1.0.0k and 1.0.0l [6 Jan 2014]
8948 * Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
8949 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
8950 to be resent. ([CVE-2013-6450])
8954 * Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
8955 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
8956 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
8957 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
8958 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
8959 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
8961 *Rob Stradling, Adam Langley*
8963 ### Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
8965 * Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
8967 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
8968 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
8969 at: <http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/>
8971 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
8972 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
8973 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
8974 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
8977 *Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
8979 * Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
8980 This fixes a DoS attack. ([CVE-2013-0166])
8984 * Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
8985 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
8986 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
8987 See <http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836>.
8988 (This is a backport)
8990 *Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>*
8992 * Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
8996 ### Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
8998 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
9001 * Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
9004 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
9005 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
9010 * Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
9011 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
9015 ### Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
9017 * Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
9018 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
9019 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
9021 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
9022 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
9025 *Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team*
9027 ### Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
9029 * Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
9030 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
9031 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
9032 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
9033 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
9034 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
9035 an MMA defence is not necessary.
9036 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
9037 this issue. ([CVE-2012-0884])
9041 * Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
9042 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
9043 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
9047 ### Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
9049 * Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
9050 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
9051 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
9052 preparing a fix. ([CVE-2012-0050])
9056 ### Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
9058 * Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
9059 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
9060 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
9061 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
9062 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
9063 paper describing this attack can be found at:
9064 <http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf>
9065 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
9066 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
9067 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
9068 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
9069 for preparing the fix. ([CVE-2011-4108])
9071 *Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen*
9073 * Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
9076 *Adam Langley (Google)*
9078 * Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
9079 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
9080 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. ([CVE-2011-4619])

9084 * Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. ([CVE-2012-0027])
9086 *Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>*
9088 * Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
9089 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
9090 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. ([CVE-2011-4577])
9092 *Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>*
9094 * Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
9096 *Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>*
9098 * Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
9100 *Adam Langley (Google)*
9102 * Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
9104 *Emilia Käsper (Google)*
9106 * Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
9107 interpretations of the `..._len` fields).
9109 *Adam Langley (Google)*
9111 * Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
9112 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
9113 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
9115 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
9116 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
9117 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
9118 the last update always remained unused).

9122 * In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.

9126 ### Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
9128 * Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
9129 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. ([CVE-2011-3207])
9131 *Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>*
9133 * Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
9134 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. ([CVE-2011-3210])
9136 *Adam Langley (Google)*
9138 * Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
9142 * Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
9143 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
9144 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
9148 * Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
9149 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
9150 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf>
9152 *Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri*
9154 ### Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
9156 * Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
9158 *Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)*
9160 * Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
9161 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
9166 ### Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
9168 * Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
9169 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
9170 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
9174 * Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
9175 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
9176 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
9180 ### Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
9182 * Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
9183 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
9184 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
9188 * Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
9193 ### Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
9195 * Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
9198 *Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>*
9200 ### Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
9202 * Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
9203 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
9204 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
9208 * Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
9212 * Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
9213 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
9215 *Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>*
9217 * Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
9218 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
9219 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
9223 * Add load_crls() function to commands tidying load_certs() too. Add option
9224 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
9228 * Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
9229 some responders need this.
9233 * The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
9236 *Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>*
9238 * Update verify callback code in `apps/s_cb.c` and `apps/verify.c`, it
9239 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
9240 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
9244 * Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
9248 * In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
9249 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
9250 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
9251 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
9252 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
9253 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
9254 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
9255 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
9259 * Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
9260 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
9261 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
9263 *Guenter <lists@gknw.net>*
9265 * Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
9267 *Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>*
9269 * Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
9274 * Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
9275 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
9276 `EVP_MD_do_all*()` and `EVP_CIPHER_do_all*()` to include the name a digest
9277 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
9278 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
9279 attempting to work them out.
9283 * If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
9284 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
9285 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
9286 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
9290 * Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
9291 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
9292 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
9293 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
9294 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
9298 * Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
9299 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
9306 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
9308 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
9312 * Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
9314 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>*
9316 * Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
9318 *Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson*
9320 * Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
9321 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
9322 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
9323 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
9324 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
9328 * Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
9329 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
9330 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
9334 * Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
9335 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
9339 * Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
9341 *Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>*
9343 * Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
9344 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
9348 * Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
9352 * Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
9353 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
9354 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
9359 * New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
9360 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
9361 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
9362 as the year 2038 bug. New `*_adj()` functions for ASN1 time structures
9363 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
9364 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
9368 * Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
9369 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
9371 This work was sponsored by Google.
9375 * Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
9376 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
9377 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
9378 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
9379 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
9380 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
9381 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
9384 This work was sponsored by Google.
9388 * Support for freshest CRL extension.
9390 This work was sponsored by Google.
9394 * Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
9395 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
9396 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
9397 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
9399 This work was sponsored by Google.
9403 * Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
9404 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
9405 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
9406 CRL functionality in future.
9408 This work was sponsored by Google.
9412 * Add support for policy mappings extension.
9414 This work was sponsored by Google.
9418 * Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
9419 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
9421 This work was sponsored by Google.
9425 * Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
9426 and URI types are currently supported.
9428 This work was sponsored by Google.
9432 * To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
9433 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
9434 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
9435 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
9436 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
9437 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
9438 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
9439 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
9441 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
9442 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
9443 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
9445 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
9446 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
9447 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
9448 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
9450 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
9451 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
9452 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
9453 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
9454 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
9455 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
9456 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
9457 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
9460 *Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller*
9462 * Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
9463 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
9464 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
9466 This work was sponsored by Google.
9470 * Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
9474 * Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
9475 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
9476 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
9480 * Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
9481 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
9485 * Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
9486 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
9490 * Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
9491 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
9492 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
9493 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
9494 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
9495 content types and variants.
9499 * Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
9503 * Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
9504 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
9505 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
9506 files from the associated perl scripts.
9510 * Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
9511 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
9513 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>*
9515 * s390x assembler pack.
9519 * ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
9524 * Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
9525 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
9526 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
9527 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
9528 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
9529 to use. For example, specify an option
9531 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
9533 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
9534 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
9535 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
9536 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
9537 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
9538 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
9540 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
9541 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
9542 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
9543 return non-zero for success.
9545 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
9548 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
9549 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
9553 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
9556 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
9557 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
9558 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
9559 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
9560 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
9561 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
9562 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
9563 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
9564 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
9566 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
9567 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
9568 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
9569 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
9570 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
9571 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
9573 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
9574 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
9575 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
9576 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
9577 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
9578 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
9582 * Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
9585 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>*
9587 * Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
9588 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
9589 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
9592 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
9593 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
9596 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
9597 protection in servers so again support should be possible
9598 with no application modification.
9600 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
9601 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
9603 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
9604 or server extensions to be examined.
9606 This work was sponsored by Google.
9610 * Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
9611 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
9613 *Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson*
9615 * Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
9616 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
9617 ciphersuite support.
9619 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson*
9621 * Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
9622 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
9623 to output in BER and PEM format.
9627 * Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
9628 allows HMAC to be handled via the `EVP_DigestSign*()` interface. The
9629 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
9630 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
9631 -macopt options to dgst utility.
9635 * New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
9636 `EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*`. These two changes make it possible to use
9637 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
9642 * Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
9643 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
9644 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
9645 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
9646 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
9647 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
9648 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
9649 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
9652 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
9653 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
9654 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
9655 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
9657 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
9658 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
9659 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
9664 * Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
9665 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
9666 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
9667 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
9668 remains equivalent to `"AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH"`.
9669 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
9670 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
9671 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
9673 *Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni*
9675 * Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
9676 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
9677 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
9678 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
9679 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
9680 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
9681 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
9682 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
9683 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
9684 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
9685 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
9688 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
9689 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
9690 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
9692 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
9693 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
9698 * Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
9699 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
9700 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
9704 * Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
9705 it yet and it is largely untested.
9709 * Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
9713 * Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
9714 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
9715 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
9719 * Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
9723 * Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
9724 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
9725 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
9726 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
9730 * Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
9731 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
9732 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
9733 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
9734 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
9738 * GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
9739 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
9743 * Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
9744 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
9745 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
9746 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
9750 * New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
9751 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
9752 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
9753 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
9757 * Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
9758 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
9762 * New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
9763 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
9764 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
9765 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
9769 * Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
9770 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
9771 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
9775 * Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
9780 * Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
9781 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
9785 * During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
9786 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
9787 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
9792 * New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
9793 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
9794 to free up any added signature OIDs.
9798 * New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
9799 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
9800 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
9801 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
9805 * Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
9806 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
9807 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
9808 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
9809 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
9810 the array representation useful in a more general context.
9814 * Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
9815 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
9816 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
9817 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
9818 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
9820 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
9821 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
9822 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
9823 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
9824 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
9827 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
9828 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
9829 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
9830 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
9832 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
9833 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
9834 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
9835 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
9836 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
9842 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
9843 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
9847 * Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
9848 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
9852 * Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
9853 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
9857 * Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
9858 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
9859 functional reference processing.
9863 * New functions `EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*`. These are enhanced versions of
9864 `EVP_{Sign,Verify}*` which allow an application to customise the signature
9869 * New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
9870 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
9871 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
9875 * Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
9876 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
9877 application to support multiple signers.
9881 * New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
9886 * Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
9887 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
9888 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
9889 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
9890 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
9894 * Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
9899 * Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
9900 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
9901 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
9902 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
9907 * Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
9908 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
9909 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
9910 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
9911 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
9912 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
9913 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
9914 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
9918 * Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
9919 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
9920 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
9921 between digests and public key types.
9925 * Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
9926 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
9927 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
9928 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
9932 * Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
9933 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
9938 * Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
9942 * Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
9947 * Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
9948 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
9949 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
9950 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
9957 *Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>*
9959 * New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
9962 *Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>*
9964 * New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
9965 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
9966 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
9967 functionality for RSA.
9971 * Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
9972 functions `EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}` have been renamed to
9973 `EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old`.
9977 * Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
9978 key API, doesn't do much yet.
9982 * New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
9983 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
9984 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
9988 * Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
9989 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
9993 * Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
9994 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
9998 * New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
9999 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
10004 * Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
10005 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
10006 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
10011 * Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
10012 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
10013 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
10014 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
10015 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
10016 of public and private key structures.
10020 * Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
10021 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
10025 * Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
10026 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
10027 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
10030 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
10034 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
10035 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
10036 SSL_get_psk_identity
10037 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
10039 *Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation*
10041 * Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
10042 and response verification functionality.
10044 *Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project*
10046 * Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
10047 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
10048 have new members for a hostname. The SSL data structure has an
10049 additional member `SSL_CTX *initial_ctx` so that new sessions can be
10050 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
10051 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
10052 server_name extension.
10054 New functions (subject to change):
10056 SSL_get_servername()
10057 SSL_get_servername_type()
10060 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
10062 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
10063 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
10064 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
10065 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
10066 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
10068 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
10070 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
10071 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
10072 testing the HostName extension for a specific single hostname ('-cert'
10073 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
10074 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
10075 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
10078 *Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou*
10080 * Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
10084 * BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
10085 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
10086 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
10087 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
10088 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
10092 * Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
10093 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
10098 * New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
10099 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
10100 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
10101 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
10105 * New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
10106 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
10107 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
10108 using the maximum available value.
10112 * New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
10113 in addition to the text details.
10117 * Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
10118 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
10119 handle several customised structures at all.
10123 * Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
10124 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
10125 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
10129 * Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
10133 * Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
10134 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
10135 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
10139 * Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
10140 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
10141 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
10145 * Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
10146 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
10151 * Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
10155 * Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
10162 ### Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
10164 * When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
10165 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
10166 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
10167 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
10168 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
10169 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
10170 protection is active. ([CVE-2010-0740])
10172 *Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>*
10174 * Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
10175 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
10177 *Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>*
10179 ### Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
10181 * Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. ([CVE-2009-3245])
10183 *Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta*
10185 * Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
10186 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
10190 * On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
10191 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
10192 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
10196 * The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
10197 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
10198 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
10199 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
10200 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
10201 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
10205 * Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
10206 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
10207 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
10211 * Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
10212 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
10213 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
10214 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
10215 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
10216 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
10221 * Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
10222 change when encrypting or decrypting.
10226 * Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
10227 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
10228 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
10232 * Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
10236 * If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
10237 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
10238 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
10239 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
10240 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
10241 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
10242 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
10243 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
10244 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
10248 * Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
10249 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
10250 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
10254 * Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
10255 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
10259 * Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
10260 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
10261 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
10262 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
10263 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
10264 know what you are doing.
10266 *Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson*
10268 * Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
10269 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
10270 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
10271 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
10272 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
10273 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
10278 * The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
10279 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
10280 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
10283 *Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>*
10285 * Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
10286 warnings in other configurations.
10290 * Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
10291 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
10292 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
10295 *Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley*
10297 * Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
10298 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
10300 *Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky*
10302 * Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
10303 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
10304 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
10305 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
10309 * Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
10314 * Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
10315 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
10318 *Guenter <lists@gknw.net>*
10320 * Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
10321 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
10322 other than a simple chain.
10324 *David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson*
10326 * Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
10327 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
10328 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
10329 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
10333 * In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
10334 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
10335 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
10336 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
10337 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
10338 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
10339 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
10340 buffered. ([CVE-2009-1378])
10342 *Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz*
10344 * Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
10345 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
10346 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
10347 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
10348 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
10349 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
10352 *Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz*
10354 * Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
10355 parent structure is freed. ([CVE-2009-1379])
10359 * Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
10361 *Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>*
10363 * Add `2.5.4.*` OIDs
10365 *Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>*
10367 ### Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
10369 * Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
10370 problem ([CVE-2009-3555]) at the cost of breaking all
10371 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
10372 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
10373 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
10378 ### Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
10380 * Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
10381 underlying code. If `sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long)` this can result in
10382 zeroing past the valid field. ([CVE-2009-0789])
10384 *Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>*
10386 * Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
10387 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
10388 appear to verify correctly. ([CVE-2009-0591])
10390 *Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>*
10392 * Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
10393 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
10394 a legal length. ([CVE-2009-0590])
10398 * Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
10399 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
10404 * Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
10405 to handle some structures.
10409 * Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
10412 *Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>*
10414 * New -hex option for openssl rand.
10418 * Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
10422 * Support NumericString type for name components.
10426 * Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
10427 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
10432 ### Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
10434 * Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
10437 *Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team*
10439 * Enable TLS extensions by default.
10443 * Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
10444 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
10445 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
10447 *Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>*
10449 * Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
10451 *Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger*
10453 * Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
10454 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
10458 * Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
10459 s_client and s_server.
10463 * Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
10465 *Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>*
10467 * Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
10469 *Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>*
10471 * Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
10472 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
10473 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
10474 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
10475 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
10479 ### Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
10481 * Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
10482 ChangeCipherSpec as first record ([CVE-2009-1386]).
10486 * Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
10487 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be `..._ST_SW_SRVR_...`).
10489 *Nagendra Modadugu*
10491 * The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
10492 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
10493 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
10494 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
10496 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
10497 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
10499 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder*
10501 * Various precautionary measures:
10503 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
10505 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
10506 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
10507 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
10509 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
10510 outside the expected range.
10512 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
10515 *Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller*
10517 * Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
10518 the load fails. Useful for distros.
10520 *Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team*
10522 * Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
10526 * Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
10530 * Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
10532 This work was sponsored by Logica.
10536 * Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
10537 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
10538 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
10540 This work was sponsored by Logica.
10544 * Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
10545 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
10546 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
10551 ### Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
10553 * Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
10554 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
10555 Codenomicon TLS test suite ([CVE-2008-1672])
10557 *Steve Henson, Mark Cox*
10559 * Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
10560 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite ([CVE-2008-0891])
10564 * Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
10566 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
10567 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
10569 *Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo*
10571 * Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
10573 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
10574 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
10575 Therefore, it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
10576 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
10580 * RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
10581 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
10582 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
10583 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
10584 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
10585 invalid read after the end of 'db').
10587 *Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>*
10589 * Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
10591 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
10592 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
10593 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
10594 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
10595 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
10597 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
10598 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
10600 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
10601 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
10602 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
10603 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
10604 e.g. x86_64, try `-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD`.)
10606 *Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)*
10608 * Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
10609 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
10610 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
10611 sets may exist with different names.
10615 * Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
10616 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
10617 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
10618 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
10619 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
10620 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
10621 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
10622 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
10623 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
10626 *Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)*
10628 * Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
10629 implementation in the following ways:
10631 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
10634 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
10635 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
10636 ignored for embedded content.
10638 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
10639 with the enable-cms configuration option.
10643 * Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
10644 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
10645 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
10647 *Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>*
10649 * Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
10650 uncompresses any data passed through it.
10654 * Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
10655 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
10659 * Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
10660 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
10661 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
10662 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
10663 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
10664 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
10669 * Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
10670 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
10672 *Bodo Moeller (Google)*
10676 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
10677 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
10678 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
10679 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
10680 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
10681 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
10682 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
10683 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
10685 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
10686 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
10687 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
10688 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
10689 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
10690 - fixed order of includes in `apps/ocsp.c` so that `e_os.h` settings apply
10692 *Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>*
10694 * Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
10695 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
10696 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
10697 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
10698 to s_client and s_server.
10702 ### Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
10704 * Fix various bugs:
10705 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
10706 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
10707 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
10708 + Fix ia64 assembler code
10710 *Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
10712 ### Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
10714 * DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
10715 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
10716 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
10717 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
10718 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
10719 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
10720 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
10721 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
10725 * Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
10726 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
10727 *Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
10730 * Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
10731 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
10732 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
10735 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
10736 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
10739 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
10740 protection in servers so again support should be possible
10741 with no application modification.
10743 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
10744 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
10746 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
10747 or server extensions to be examined.
10749 This work was sponsored by Google.
10753 * Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
10754 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
10755 have new members for a hostname. The SSL data structure has an
10756 additional member `SSL_CTX *initial_ctx` so that new sessions can be
10757 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
10758 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
10759 server_name extension.
10761 New functions (subject to change):
10763 SSL_get_servername()
10764 SSL_get_servername_type()
10767 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
10769 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
10770 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
10771 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
10772 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
10773 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
10775 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
10777 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
10778 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
10779 testing the HostName extension for a specific single hostname ('-cert'
10780 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
10781 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
10782 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
10785 *Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson*
10787 * Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
10791 * Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
10795 * Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
10796 (which previously caused an internal error).
10800 * Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
10804 * AES IGE mode speedup.
10806 *Dean Gaudet (Google)*
10808 * Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
10809 <http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp>) and
10810 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
10812 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
10813 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
10814 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
10815 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
10817 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
10818 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
10819 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
10821 *KISA, Bodo Moeller*
10823 * Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
10824 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
10825 information. For detailed background information, see
10826 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039> (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
10827 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
10828 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
10829 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
10830 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
10831 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
10832 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
10833 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
10834 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
10835 remove a conditional branch.
10837 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
10838 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
10839 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
10840 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
10841 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
10842 remains as a deprecated alias.
10844 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
10845 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
10846 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
10847 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
10849 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
10850 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
10851 modulus. This means that the previous `BIGNUM *m` argument to
10852 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
10853 essentially becomes `const BIGNUM *m`, although we can't actually
10854 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
10855 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
10856 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
10858 *Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)*
10860 * In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
10861 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
10862 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
10863 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
10864 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
10865 with applications using a single external cache for quite
10866 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
10867 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
10868 in a different context.
10872 * Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
10873 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
10874 authentication-only ciphersuites.
10878 * Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
10879 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
10880 ([CVE-2007-5135]) [Ben Laurie]
10882 ### Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
10884 * Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
10885 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
10886 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
10887 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
10888 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
10892 * Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
10893 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
10894 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
10895 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
10896 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
10897 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
10901 * Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
10902 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
10903 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
10904 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
10905 message has informed the client about his choice.)
10909 * Add RFC 3779 support.
10911 *Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie*
10913 * Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
10914 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
10915 Improve header file function name parsing.
10919 * extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
10920 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
10922 *Goetz Babin-Ebell*
10924 ### Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
10926 * Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
10927 cause a denial of service. ([CVE-2006-2940])
10929 *Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller*
10931 * Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
10932 in a denial of service. ([CVE-2006-2937]) [Steve Henson]
10934 * Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
10935 ([CVE-2006-3738]) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
10937 * Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
10938 malicious SSLv2 server. ([CVE-2006-4343])
10940 *Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team*
10942 * Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
10943 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
10944 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
10945 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
10946 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
10947 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
10948 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
10949 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
10950 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
10952 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
10953 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
10954 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
10955 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
10956 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
10958 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
10959 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
10960 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
10961 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
10962 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
10963 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
10964 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
10965 multiple values to extend the available space.
10969 ### Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
10971 * Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
10972 ([CVE-2006-4339]) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
10974 * Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
10978 * Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
10979 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
10980 undesirable limitations.
10982 *Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller*
10984 * Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
10985 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
10986 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
10987 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
10988 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
10989 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
10990 to avoid potential handshake problems.
10994 * Disable rogue ciphersuites:
10996 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
10997 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
10998 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
11000 The latter two were purportedly from
11001 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
11004 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
11005 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
11006 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
11010 * Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
11011 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
11015 * Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
11016 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
11017 (see <http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html>).
11018 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
11020 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
11021 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
11022 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
11026 * Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
11027 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
11028 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
11029 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
11030 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
11031 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
11035 ### Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
11037 * When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
11038 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
11042 * Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
11044 *Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>*
11046 * Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
11047 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
11048 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
11049 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
11053 * New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
11054 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
11058 * Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
11059 "zlib1.dll" and use the default `__cdecl` calling convention on Win32
11060 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
11061 <http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt>
11062 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
11063 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
11064 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
11069 * Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
11070 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
11071 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
11072 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
11076 * Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
11077 under VC++ build system.
11081 * Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
11082 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
11086 ### Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
11088 * Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
11089 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
11090 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
11091 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
11092 idea. ([CVE-2005-2969])
11094 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
11095 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
11096 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)*
11098 * Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
11102 * Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
11103 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
11107 * Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
11109 *Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie*
11111 * Add functions for well-known primes.
11115 * Extended Windows CE support.
11117 *Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov*
11119 * Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
11120 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
11124 * Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
11125 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
11130 ### Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
11132 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
11135 * Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
11139 * Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
11140 key into the same file any more.
11144 * Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
11148 * Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
11150 *Stefan <stf@udoma.org*
11152 * Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
11153 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
11157 * Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
11158 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
11159 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
11160 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
11161 this only applies when building 'shared'.
11163 *Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe*
11165 * Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
11166 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
11167 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
11171 * Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
11172 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
11173 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
11174 - add new function for parameter creation
11175 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
11176 BN_BLINDING parameters
11177 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
11178 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
11179 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
11184 * Add support for DTLS.
11186 *Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie*
11188 * Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
11189 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
11193 * Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
11194 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
11198 * Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
11199 the `apps/openssl` commands.
11203 * Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
11204 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
11205 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
11209 * Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
11210 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
11212 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
11213 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
11215 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
11216 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
11217 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
11218 avoid this algorithm.)
11222 * Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
11223 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
11224 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
11228 * RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
11229 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
11233 * New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
11234 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
11235 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
11238 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
11240 The blank line is mandatory.
11244 * New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
11245 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
11250 * New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
11251 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
11253 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
11254 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
11255 to support policy checking and print out.
11259 * Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
11260 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
11261 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
11263 *Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov*
11265 * Deprecate `BN_[get|set]_params()` functions (they were ignored internally).
11269 * New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
11271 *Andy Polyakov and a number of other people*
11273 * Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
11274 implementation contributed by IBM.
11276 *Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov*
11278 * The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
11279 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
11280 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
11282 *Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe*
11284 * Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
11285 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
11287 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
11288 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
11289 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
11290 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
11291 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
11292 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
11296 * Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
11297 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
11298 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
11299 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
11300 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
11301 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
11302 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
11306 * New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
11310 * Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
11311 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
11312 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
11313 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
11314 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
11315 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
11316 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
11317 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
11321 * Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
11322 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
11323 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
11324 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
11328 * Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
11331 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
11335 * Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
11336 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
11337 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
11338 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
11339 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
11340 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
11341 BN_CTX's "bundling".
11345 * Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
11346 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
11350 * Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
11351 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
11352 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
11356 * bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
11357 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
11358 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
11363 * Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
11364 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
11368 * BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
11369 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
11370 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
11371 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
11375 * BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
11376 initialised value as BN_new().
11378 *Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller*
11380 * Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
11384 * An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
11385 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
11386 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
11387 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
11388 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
11389 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
11390 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
11391 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
11392 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
11393 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
11394 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
11395 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
11396 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
11397 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
11399 *Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller*
11401 * BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
11402 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
11403 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
11404 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
11408 * Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
11409 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
11410 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
11411 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
11412 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
11413 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
11414 objects as "const" and the `lh_doall[_arg]` callback wrappers are not
11415 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
11416 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
11420 * The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
11421 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
11422 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
11423 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from
11424 `char *`. This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and
11426 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
11427 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
11431 * Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
11432 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
11433 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
11434 these have been updated also.
11438 * Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
11439 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
11440 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
11441 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
11442 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
11447 * New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
11448 structure of type "other".
11452 * Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
11453 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
11454 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
11455 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
11456 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
11457 situation in the script.
11459 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
11461 * Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
11462 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
11463 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
11464 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
11465 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
11466 used as premaster secret.
11468 *Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
11470 * Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
11471 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
11473 *Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
11475 * Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
11477 *Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte*
11479 * Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
11480 control of the error stack.
11484 * Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
11488 * Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
11489 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
11490 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
11491 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
11495 * Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
11496 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
11497 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
11501 * Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
11502 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
11503 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
11508 * Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
11509 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
11510 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
11511 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
11515 * Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
11516 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
11517 the following flags are defined:
11519 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
11520 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
11521 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
11524 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
11525 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
11526 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
11527 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
11532 * Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
11533 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
11534 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
11535 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
11536 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
11540 * Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
11541 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
11542 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
11546 * Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
11547 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
11548 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
11549 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
11550 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
11551 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
11555 * Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
11560 * Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
11564 * Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
11568 * Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
11572 * Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
11573 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
11574 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
11575 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
11576 default implementation more easily.
11580 * Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
11585 * Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
11586 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
11590 * Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
11591 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
11592 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
11593 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
11595 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
11596 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
11597 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
11598 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
11602 * Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
11603 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
11608 * In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
11609 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
11610 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
11611 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
11612 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
11613 scalar * generator).
11615 *Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller*
11617 * IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
11618 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
11619 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
11624 * Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
11625 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
11626 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
11627 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
11628 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
11629 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
11630 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
11631 linker additions, eg;
11632 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
11636 * "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
11637 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
11638 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
11642 * ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
11643 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
11644 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
11649 * Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
11650 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
11651 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
11652 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
11656 * Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
11657 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
11658 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have `_ex`
11659 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
11660 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
11661 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
11662 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
11663 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
11664 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
11665 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
11667 Example for using the new callback interface:
11669 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
11670 void *my_arg = ...;
11673 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
11675 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
11676 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
11677 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
11678 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
11679 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
11680 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
11685 * Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
11686 available to TLS with the number defined in
11687 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
11691 * Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
11692 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
11694 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
11695 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
11696 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
11697 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
11699 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
11700 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
11702 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
11703 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
11708 * Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
11709 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
11713 * Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
11714 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
11715 and a macro that behave like
11716 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
11718 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
11722 * Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
11723 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
11724 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
11727 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
11729 * Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
11733 * Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
11734 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
11735 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
11736 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
11737 directory engines/.
11738 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
11739 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
11740 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
11741 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
11742 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
11743 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
11744 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
11746 *Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte*
11748 * Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
11749 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
11753 * Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
11755 *Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>*
11757 * Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
11758 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
11759 files while avoiding the low-level API.
11761 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
11762 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
11763 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
11764 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
11766 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
11767 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
11768 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
11769 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
11770 instead of the low-level API.
11774 * Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
11775 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
11776 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
11777 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
11778 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
11781 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
11782 down to the template encoder.
11786 * Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
11787 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
11791 * Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
11792 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
11793 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
11795 *Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
11797 * Add ECDH engine support.
11799 *Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
11801 * Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
11803 *Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
11805 * Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
11806 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
11810 * Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
11811 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
11812 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
11816 * Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
11817 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
11819 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
11821 * Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
11822 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
11825 EC_GF2m_simple_method
11829 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
11830 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
11831 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
11832 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
11833 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
11834 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
11836 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
11837 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
11840 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
11841 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
11842 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
11843 the above `..._GF2m functions` (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
11844 are essentially identical to their `..._GFp` counterparts.
11845 (For simplicity, the `..._GFp` prefix has been dropped from
11846 various internal method names.)
11848 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
11849 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
11851 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
11853 * Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
11854 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
11856 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
11857 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
11858 methods are undefined.
11860 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
11862 * New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
11863 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
11864 length of the modulus.
11866 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
11868 * New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
11869 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
11871 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
11873 * Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
11874 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
11875 used) in the following functions [macros]:
11878 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
11879 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
11880 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
11881 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
11883 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
11884 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
11885 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
11886 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
11888 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
11889 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
11891 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
11892 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
11893 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
11894 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
11895 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
11897 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
11898 This applies to the following functions:
11901 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
11902 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
11903 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
11904 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
11905 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
11906 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
11907 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
11911 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
11916 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
11918 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
11919 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
11920 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
11921 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
11922 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
11924 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
11926 * Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
11927 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
11929 *Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>*
11931 * Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
11932 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
11934 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
11935 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
11936 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
11937 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
11939 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
11941 * Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
11943 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
11944 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
11945 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
11946 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
11947 These control ASN1 encoding details:
11948 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
11949 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
11950 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
11951 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
11952 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
11953 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
11954 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
11956 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
11958 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
11959 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
11960 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
11961 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
11963 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
11965 * Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
11966 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
11967 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
11969 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
11972 EC_POINT_point2bn()
11973 EC_POINT_bn2point()
11974 EC_POINT_point2hex()
11975 EC_POINT_hex2point()
11976 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
11977 EC_POINT_oct2point().
11979 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
11981 * Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
11982 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
11983 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
11984 EC_GROUP_get_order()
11985 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
11986 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
11987 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
11988 adding different types of curves.
11990 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller*
11992 * Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
11993 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
11994 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
11998 * Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
11999 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
12001 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
12002 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
12003 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
12005 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
12007 * Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
12009 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
12010 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
12012 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
12013 library. Most notably,
12014 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
12015 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
12016 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
12017 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
12018 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
12019 extracted before the specific public key;
12020 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
12022 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
12024 * Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
12025 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
12027 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
12028 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
12029 EC_get_builtin_curves().
12030 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
12032 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
12033 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
12035 *Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller*
12037 * Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
12038 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
12039 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
12040 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
12041 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
12042 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
12047 ### Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
12049 * Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
12052 *Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>*
12054 * Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
12055 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
12056 authentication-only ciphersuites.
12060 * Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
12061 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
12062 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
12066 * Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
12070 * Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
12071 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
12075 * New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
12076 run algorithm test programs.
12080 * Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
12084 * Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
12085 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
12086 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
12087 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
12088 message has informed the client about his choice.)
12092 * Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
12093 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
12097 ### Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
12099 * Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
12100 cause a denial of service. ([CVE-2006-2940])
12102 *Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller*
12104 * Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
12105 in a denial of service. ([CVE-2006-2937]) [Steve Henson]
12107 * Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
12108 ([CVE-2006-3738]) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
12110 * Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
12111 malicious SSLv2 server. ([CVE-2006-4343])
12113 *Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team*
12115 * Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
12116 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
12117 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
12118 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
12119 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
12120 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
12121 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
12125 ### Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
12127 * Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
12128 ([CVE-2006-4339]) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
12130 * Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
12131 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
12132 undesirable limitations.
12134 *Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller*
12136 * Disable rogue ciphersuites:
12138 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
12139 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
12140 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
12142 The latter two were purportedly from
12143 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
12146 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
12147 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
12148 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
12152 * Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
12153 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
12157 ### Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
12159 * Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
12160 module in FIPS mode.
12164 * Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
12168 * Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
12169 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
12170 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
12171 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
12175 ### Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
12177 * Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
12178 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
12179 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
12180 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
12181 the difference induced by this change.
12185 ### Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
12187 * Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
12188 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
12189 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
12190 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
12191 idea. ([CVE-2005-2969])
12193 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
12194 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
12195 Science and Technology [AIST, Japan)]*
12197 * Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
12198 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
12202 * For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
12203 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
12204 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
12205 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
12210 * Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
12211 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
12212 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
12213 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
12214 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
12216 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
12217 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
12218 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
12219 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
12220 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
12221 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
12223 *Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller*
12225 * Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
12226 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
12227 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
12228 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
12229 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
12233 * Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
12238 * New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
12239 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
12240 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
12244 * Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
12245 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
12246 structures constant.
12250 ### Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
12252 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
12255 * Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
12256 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
12257 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
12258 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
12259 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
12260 some needed definitions.
12264 * Undo Cygwin change.
12268 * Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
12269 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
12270 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
12271 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
12275 ### Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
12277 * Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
12278 server and client random values. Previously
12279 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
12280 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
12282 This change has negligible security impact because:
12284 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
12287 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
12290 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
12291 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
12294 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
12297 *Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC*
12299 * Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
12303 * Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
12304 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
12306 *Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014*
12308 * Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
12312 * Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
12313 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
12317 * Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
12318 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
12320 *Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson*
12322 * Add new -passin argument to dgst.
12326 * Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
12327 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
12328 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
12333 * Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
12334 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
12335 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
12336 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
12338 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
12339 has chosen to ignore this fault)
12340 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
12341 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
12346 ### Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
12348 * Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
12349 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
12350 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
12351 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
12352 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
12356 * Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
12360 * Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
12362 *David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>*
12364 * Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
12365 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
12366 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
12367 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
12368 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
12369 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
12370 rather than being initialized to 1.
12374 ### Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
12376 * Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
12377 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool ([CVE-2004-0079])
12379 *Joe Orton, Steve Henson*
12381 * Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
12384 *Joe Orton, Steve Henson*
12386 * Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
12387 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
12388 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
12389 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
12390 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
12391 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
12395 * X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
12396 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
12397 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
12398 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
12399 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
12404 * When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
12405 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
12406 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
12407 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
12408 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
12412 * New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
12413 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
12414 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
12419 * Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
12421 *Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>*
12423 * Use the correct content when signing type "other".
12427 ### Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
12429 * Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
12431 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
12432 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
12434 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid ([CVE-2003-0545]).
12436 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
12437 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
12441 * New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
12442 exiting on the first error in a request.
12446 * In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
12447 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
12452 * In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
12453 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
12454 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
12456 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe*
12458 * Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
12459 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
12463 * Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
12464 blocks during encryption.
12468 * Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
12469 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
12470 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
12471 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
12476 * Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
12477 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
12478 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
12479 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
12480 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
12485 ### Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
12487 * Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
12488 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
12489 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
12490 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
12494 * Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
12495 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
12496 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
12497 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
12499 *Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller*
12501 * Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
12502 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
12503 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
12504 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
12505 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
12506 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
12507 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
12508 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
12509 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
12513 * Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
12514 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
12515 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
12516 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
12520 * Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
12521 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
12525 ### Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
12527 * In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
12528 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
12529 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
12530 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
12531 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. ([CVE-2003-0078])
12533 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
12534 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
12535 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)*
12537 * Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
12538 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
12539 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
12540 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
12541 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
12543 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
12544 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
12545 used by default when no-err is given.
12549 * Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
12551 *dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454*
12553 * Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
12554 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
12555 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
12556 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
12558 *Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte*
12560 * Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
12561 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
12562 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
12563 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
12565 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
12567 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12569 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
12571 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
12572 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
12573 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
12574 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
12579 * Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
12581 *Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte*
12583 * Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
12584 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
12588 * DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
12589 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
12590 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
12591 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
12595 * Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
12596 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
12597 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
12598 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
12599 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
12600 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
12601 followup to PR #377.
12605 * IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
12606 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
12610 * Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
12611 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
12612 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
12614 *Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>*
12616 ### Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
12618 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
12621 * Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
12622 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
12623 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
12624 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
12626 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
12631 * Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
12632 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
12637 * The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
12638 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
12639 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
12640 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
12641 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
12642 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
12644 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
12645 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
12646 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
12647 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
12648 have to be made anyway).
12652 * In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
12653 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
12654 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
12658 * Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
12659 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
12660 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
12664 * Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
12665 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
12667 *Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte*
12669 * Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
12670 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
12671 edit numbers of the version.
12673 *Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte*
12675 * Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
12676 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
12678 *Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte*
12680 * Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
12682 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12684 * Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
12685 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
12687 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12689 * Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
12691 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12693 * Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
12695 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12697 * Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
12699 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12701 * Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
12703 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12705 * Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
12708 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12710 * Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
12711 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
12713 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12715 * Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
12716 representations in a platform independent manner.
12718 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12720 * Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
12721 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
12723 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12725 * Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
12728 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12730 * Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
12732 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12734 * buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
12737 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12739 * Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
12740 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
12742 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12744 * New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
12747 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12749 * Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
12751 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12753 * Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
12755 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12757 * Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
12759 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12761 * If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
12763 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12765 * Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
12768 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12770 * Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
12772 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12774 * Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
12776 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12778 * Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
12779 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
12782 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12784 * Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
12785 the 0.9.6 release series:
12787 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
12788 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
12791 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
12793 * Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
12797 * Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
12799 *Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson*
12801 * The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
12803 *Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>*
12805 * Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
12806 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
12807 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
12809 *Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>*
12811 * Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
12812 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
12813 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
12815 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
12816 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
12817 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
12819 *Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller*
12821 * Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
12822 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
12823 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
12826 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
12827 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
12828 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
12829 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
12830 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
12831 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
12832 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
12833 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
12836 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
12837 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
12838 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
12842 * Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
12843 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
12844 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
12845 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
12847 *Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>*
12849 * Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
12851 *Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>*
12853 * Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
12854 error in AES-CFB decryption.
12858 * Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
12859 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
12860 calling `EVP_*Final()`. This behaviour is used by encryption
12861 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
12862 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
12863 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
12867 * Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
12868 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
12869 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
12873 * Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
12874 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
12878 * Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
12879 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
12880 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
12881 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
12882 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
12883 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
12884 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
12888 * Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
12889 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
12890 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
12891 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
12892 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
12893 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
12897 * Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
12898 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
12899 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
12900 declaration has been changed from
12903 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
12904 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
12905 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
12906 has been changed into
12907 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
12909 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
12910 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
12912 *D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>*
12914 * Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
12916 *Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe*
12918 * Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
12919 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
12920 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
12921 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
12922 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
12923 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
12924 always load it have also been added.
12928 * Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
12929 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
12931 *Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte*
12933 * Config modules support in openssl utility.
12935 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
12936 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
12937 because it couldn't be used for anything.
12939 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
12940 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
12941 command line option can be used to specify an
12946 * Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
12947 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
12951 * Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
12952 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
12953 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
12957 * Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
12958 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
12959 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
12960 to work with the new engine framework.
12962 *AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte*
12964 * Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
12965 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
12966 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
12967 to work with the new engine framework.
12971 * Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
12972 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
12974 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte*
12976 * Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
12978 *Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte*
12980 * Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
12981 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
12982 implemented in `apps.c`, and make those routines able to
12983 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
12986 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte*
12988 * Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
12990 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte*
12992 * Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
12994 *Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>*
12996 * Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
12997 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
12998 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
13002 * Add new functions
13003 ERR_peek_last_error
13004 ERR_peek_last_error_line
13005 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
13006 These are similar to
13008 ERR_peek_error_line
13009 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
13010 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
13011 still in the error queue.
13013 *Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller*
13015 * default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
13017 default_algorithms = ALL
13018 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
13022 * Preliminary ENGINE config module.
13026 * New experimental application configuration code.
13030 * Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
13031 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
13032 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
13034 *Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte*
13036 * SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
13038 *Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt*
13040 * Add option to output public keys in req command.
13042 *Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org*
13044 * Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
13045 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
13049 * New functions/macros
13051 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
13052 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
13053 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
13054 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
13056 to request calling a callback function
13058 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
13059 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
13061 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
13062 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
13063 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
13064 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
13065 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
13066 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
13067 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
13068 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
13069 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
13070 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
13072 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
13073 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
13077 * Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
13078 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
13079 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
13080 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
13081 the configuration scripts.
13083 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
13084 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
13086 *"Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte*
13088 * Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
13090 *Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>*
13092 * Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
13093 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
13094 when reusing an existing buffer.
13098 * New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
13099 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
13103 * Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
13104 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
13108 * Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
13109 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
13110 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
13111 has the same effect.
13113 *Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org*
13115 * Change all functions with names starting with `des_` to be starting
13116 with `DES_` instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
13117 but are named `_ossl_old_des_*`. Finally, add macros that map the
13118 `des_*` symbols to the corresponding `_ossl_old_des_*` if libdes
13119 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
13120 desired, the `des_*` symbols will be mapped to `DES_*`, with one
13123 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
13124 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
13125 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
13126 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
13128 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
13129 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
13130 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
13131 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
13133 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
13134 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
13137 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
13138 authors are encouraged to switch to the `DES_` style functions. Some
13139 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
13140 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
13141 default), and then completely removed.
13145 * Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
13146 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
13147 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
13148 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
13149 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
13150 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
13151 particular extension is supported.
13155 * Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
13156 to retain compatibility with existing code.
13160 * Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
13161 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
13162 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
13163 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
13164 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
13165 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
13166 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
13167 requires the destination to be valid.
13169 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
13170 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
13174 * Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
13175 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
13176 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
13180 * Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
13182 *Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte*
13184 * Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
13185 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
13186 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
13187 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
13188 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
13189 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
13190 implementations of their own. This is detailed in
13191 [crypto/engine/README.md](crypto/engine/README.md)
13192 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
13193 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
13194 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
13195 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
13196 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
13197 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
13198 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
13199 functions dealing with `BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT]` handlers have been removed -
13200 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
13201 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
13202 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
13203 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
13208 * Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
13212 * Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
13213 and make sure the automatically generated functions `ERR_load_*`
13214 become part of libeay.num as well.
13218 * New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
13219 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
13220 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
13221 false once a handshake has been completed.
13222 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
13223 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
13224 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
13225 client has followed the request.)
13229 * New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
13230 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
13231 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
13232 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
13234 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
13235 more bits available for options that should not be part of
13236 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
13240 * Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
13244 * Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
13245 settable (`SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()`), as proposed by
13246 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
13250 * Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
13251 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
13255 * Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
13256 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
13257 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
13258 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
13262 * Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
13263 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
13264 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
13265 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
13266 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
13267 shared-libraries easier (see [README-Engine.md](README-Engine.md)).
13271 * Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
13272 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
13273 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
13274 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
13275 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
13276 the [README-Engine.md](README-Engine.md) file
13277 that brings its information up-to-date and
13278 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
13279 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
13283 * Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
13284 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
13288 * Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
13292 * Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
13293 md_data void pointer.
13297 * Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
13298 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
13299 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
13300 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
13301 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
13302 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
13306 * As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
13307 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
13308 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
13309 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
13310 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
13311 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
13312 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
13313 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
13314 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
13315 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
13316 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
13317 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
13318 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
13319 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
13320 rather than letting it slide.
13322 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
13323 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
13324 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
13328 * Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
13329 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
13330 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
13331 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
13332 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
13333 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
13334 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
13335 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
13336 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
13340 * Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own `*_up_ref()` function to increment
13341 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
13342 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
13343 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
13344 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
13346 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
13350 * Add EVP test program.
13354 * Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
13358 * New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
13359 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
13360 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
13361 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
13362 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
13366 * Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
13367 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
13368 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
13369 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
13370 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
13371 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
13373 *Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke*
13375 * Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
13376 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
13377 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
13382 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
13383 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
13384 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
13385 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
13386 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
13390 * Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
13391 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
13392 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
13393 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
13396 des_key_schedule ks;
13398 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
13399 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
13401 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
13405 * Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
13406 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
13407 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
13408 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
13409 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
13410 functions prevents this.
13414 * Cleanup of EVP macros.
13418 * Change historical references to `{NID,SN,LN}_des_ede` and ede3 to add the
13419 correct `_ecb suffix`.
13423 * Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
13424 revocation information is handled using the text based index
13425 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
13426 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
13427 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
13431 * Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
13435 * Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
13436 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
13437 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
13438 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
13440 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
13441 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
13443 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
13444 *Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>, Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
13445 via Richard Levitte*
13447 * Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
13448 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
13449 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
13450 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
13454 * Speed up EVP routines.

13473 * Added the OS2-EMX target.
13475 *"Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte*
13477 * Rewrite commands to use `NCONF` routines instead of the old `CONF`.
13478 New functions to support `NCONF` routines in extension code.
13479 New function `CONF_set_nconf()`
13480 to allow functions which take an `NCONF` to also handle the old `LHASH`
13481 structure: this means that the old `CONF` compatible routines can be
13482 retained (in particular w.rt. extensions) without having to duplicate the
13483 code. New function `X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk()` to add extensions to a stack.
13487 * Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
13488 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
13492 * Change all calls to low-level digest routines in the library and
13493 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
13494 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
13496 *Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson*
13498 * Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
13499 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
13500 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
13501 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
13502 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
13503 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
13508 * Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
13509 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
13510 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
13511 and interrupts/cancellations.
13515 * Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
13516 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
13520 * Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
13521 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
13523 *Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>*
13525 * Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
13526 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
13531 * Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
13532 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
13533 than this minimum value is recommended.
13537 * New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
13538 that are easily reachable.
13542 * Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
13543 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
13545 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
13547 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
13548 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
13549 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
13550 needed for static libraries under Win32.
13554 * New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
13555 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
13556 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
13560 * Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
13561 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
13562 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
13563 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
13564 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
13565 internally such as S/MIME.
13567 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
13568 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
13569 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
13571 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
13576 * Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
13577 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
13578 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
13579 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
13581 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
13583 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
13585 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
13586 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
13587 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
13592 * Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
13593 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
13594 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
13595 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
13596 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
13597 a window system and the like.
13601 * Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
13602 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
13606 * Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
13607 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
13608 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
13609 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
13610 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
13611 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
13612 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
13613 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
13614 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
13619 * Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
13620 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
13625 * Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
13626 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
13627 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
13628 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
13629 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
13630 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
13631 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
13632 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
13636 * New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
13637 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
13638 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
13639 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
13640 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
13641 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
13642 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
13643 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
13644 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
13645 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
13646 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
13647 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
13648 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
13649 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
13650 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
13651 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
13652 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
13656 * Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
13657 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
13658 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
13659 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
13660 internal engine_int.h header.
13664 * Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
13665 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
13666 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
13667 modify their own ones).
13671 * Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
13672 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
13673 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
13674 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
13675 later on via ctrl() commands.
13676 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
13677 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
13678 structural references.
13679 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
13680 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
13681 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
13682 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
13683 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
13684 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
13685 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
13686 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
13687 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
13688 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
13689 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
13690 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
13694 * Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
13695 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
13696 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
13697 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
13698 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
13699 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
13700 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
13701 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
13705 * Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
13706 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
13710 * Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
13711 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
13715 * Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
13716 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
13717 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
13718 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
13719 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
13720 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
13721 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
13725 * Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
13726 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
13727 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
13728 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
13729 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
13731 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
13732 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
13737 * First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
13739 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
13740 operations and provides various method functions that can also
13741 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
13743 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
13744 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
13746 *Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
13747 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
13748 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>*
13750 * Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
13751 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
13753 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
13754 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
13756 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
13758 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
13759 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
13760 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
13764 * Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
13765 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
13769 * Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
13770 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
13771 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
13772 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
13773 is 40 of more characters long.
13777 * Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
13778 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
13783 * Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
13784 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
13788 * Modify `EVP_Digest*()` routines so they now return values. Although the
13789 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
13794 * Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
13796 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
13797 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
13800 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
13802 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
13803 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
13804 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
13806 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
13807 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
13809 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
13813 * Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
13818 * New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
13819 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
13820 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
13821 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
13823 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
13825 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
13827 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>*
13829 * Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
13830 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
13831 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
13832 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
13833 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
13834 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
13836 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
13837 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
13839 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
13840 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
13842 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
13843 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
13845 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
13846 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
13847 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
13848 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
13850 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
13851 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
13853 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
13854 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
13856 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
13857 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
13858 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
13859 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
13860 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
13864 * In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
13865 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
13866 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
13867 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
13871 * Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
13872 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
13873 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
13878 * Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
13879 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
13880 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
13881 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
13882 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
13883 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
13884 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
13885 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
13890 * If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
13891 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
13895 * Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
13896 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
13897 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
13898 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
13902 * New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
13903 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
13904 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
13905 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
13906 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
13907 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
13908 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
13909 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
13910 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
13911 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
13915 * Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
13916 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
13917 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
13918 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
13919 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
13920 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
13921 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
13923 *Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke*
13925 * Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
13926 of the form `#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...` and
13927 `#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...`. This also avoids
13928 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
13932 * Make all configuration macros available for application by making
13933 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
13934 with `OPENSSL_` to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
13935 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
13937 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
13938 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
13939 are prefixed with `OPENSSL_SYSNAME_`. e_os2.h will create another
13940 macro with the name beginning with `OPENSSL_SYS_`, which is determined
13941 from `OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*` or compiler-specific macros depending on
13946 * New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
13947 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
13948 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
13949 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
13954 * New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
13955 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
13956 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
13960 * New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
13961 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
13962 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
13963 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
13964 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
13968 * Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
13972 * New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
13973 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
13974 option to ocsp utility.
13978 * New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
13979 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
13980 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
13981 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
13982 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
13983 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
13984 the request is nonce-less.
13988 * Disable stdin buffering in `load_cert()` (`apps/apps.c`) so that no certs are
13989 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
13990 e.g. `(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs`.
13994 * Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
13995 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
13996 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
14000 * New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
14001 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
14002 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
14003 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
14004 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
14008 * Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
14009 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
14014 * Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
14015 additional certificates supplied.
14019 * Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
14020 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
14025 * Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
14026 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
14029 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
14030 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
14031 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
14032 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
14033 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
14034 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
14035 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
14036 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
14038 *Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller*
14040 * New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
14041 request to response.
14045 * Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
14046 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
14047 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
14048 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
14049 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
14050 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
14051 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
14052 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
14053 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
14054 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
14055 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
14059 * Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
14060 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
14061 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
14062 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
14066 * Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
14068 *Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>*
14070 * New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
14071 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
14072 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
14076 * In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
14077 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
14078 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
14079 *Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
14080 <support@securenetterm.com>*
14082 * Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
14083 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
14084 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
14088 * Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
14089 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
14090 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
14091 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
14092 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
14093 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
14094 *Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
14095 <support@securenetterm.com>*
14097 * Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
14098 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
14099 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
14100 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
14101 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
14102 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
14106 * Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
14107 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
14108 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
14109 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
14110 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
14111 printout format cleaned up.
14115 * Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
14116 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
14117 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
14118 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
14119 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
14120 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
14121 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
14122 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
14126 * Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
14127 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
14128 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
14129 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
14130 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
14131 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
14132 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
14133 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
14137 * New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
14138 extensions from a separate configuration file.
14139 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
14140 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
14143 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>*
14145 * New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
14146 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
14147 parsed, outputted or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
14148 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
14152 * New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
14153 `openssl ca -status <serial>` prints the status of the cert with
14154 the given serial number (according to the index file).
14155 `openssl ca -updatedb` updates the expiry status of certificates
14158 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>*
14160 * New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
14161 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
14162 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
14164 *Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>*
14166 * New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
14168 *Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte*
14170 * Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
14171 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
14172 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
14176 * New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
14177 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
14178 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
14182 * Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
14183 file name and line number information in additional arguments
14184 (a `const char*` and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
14185 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
14186 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
14187 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
14188 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
14189 functions are provided:
14191 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
14192 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
14193 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
14194 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
14196 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
14197 `CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions` now writes 0 where such an
14198 extended allocation function is enabled.
14199 Similarly, `CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions` writes 0 where
14200 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
14202 *Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller*
14204 * Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
14205 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
14206 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
14207 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
14208 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
14212 * Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
14213 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
14214 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
14216 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
14217 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
14218 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
14222 * Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
14223 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
14224 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
14225 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
14226 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
14227 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
14228 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
14229 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
14230 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
14234 * Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
14235 provide utility functions which an application needing
14236 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
14237 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
14238 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
14240 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
14241 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
14242 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
14243 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
14244 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
14245 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
14246 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
14247 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
14248 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
14250 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
14251 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
14252 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
14253 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
14257 * Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
14258 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
14259 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
14260 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
14261 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
14262 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
14263 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
14264 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
14265 will be added elsewhere.
14269 * Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
14270 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
14271 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
14272 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
14276 * Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
14277 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
14278 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
14279 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
14280 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
14281 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
14282 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
14283 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
14284 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
14285 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
14286 to produce the required SET OF.
14290 * Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
14291 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
14292 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
14296 * Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
14297 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
14298 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
14299 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
14300 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
14301 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
14305 * New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
14306 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
14307 the `*_d2i_bio()` and `*_d2i_fp()` functions to use these.
14311 * Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
14312 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
14313 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
14317 * New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
14318 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
14319 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
14320 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
14321 code will still work when these eventually go away.
14325 * New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
14326 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
14330 * New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
14331 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
14332 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
14333 certificates and CRLs.
14337 * Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
14338 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
14339 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
14343 * Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
14344 entries for variables.
14348 * Add functionality to `apps/openssl.c` for detecting locking
14349 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
14350 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
14351 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
14355 * Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
14356 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
14357 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
14358 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
14359 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
14360 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
14364 * Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
14366 *Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe*
14368 * Move common extension printing code to new function
14369 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
14370 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
14374 * New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
14379 * Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
14380 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
14381 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
14382 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
14383 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
14384 order did not reflect the encoded order.
14388 * Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
14392 * Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
14393 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
14394 for now but they will eventually go away.
14398 * Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
14399 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
14400 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
14401 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
14402 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
14403 has also been converted to the new form.
14407 * Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
14408 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
14409 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
14410 for negative moduli.
14414 * Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
14415 of not touching the result's sign bit.
14419 * BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
14424 * Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
14425 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
14426 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
14427 type-specific callbacks.
14431 * Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
14433 *Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
14434 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte*
14436 * Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
14437 in sections depending on the subject.
14441 * Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
14446 * New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
14447 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
14448 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
14449 be handled deterministically).
14451 *Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller*
14453 * Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
14454 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
14455 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
14459 * New function BN_kronecker.
14463 * Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
14464 positive unless both parameters are zero.
14465 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
14466 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
14467 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
14471 * Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
14472 sign of the number in question.
14474 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
14476 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
14477 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
14478 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
14479 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
14480 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
14484 * New function BN_swap.
14488 * Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
14489 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
14490 results on negative inputs.
14494 * Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
14495 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
14496 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
14500 * Move `BN_mod_...` functions into new file `crypto/bn/bn_mod.c`
14501 (except for exponentiation, which stays in `crypto/bn/bn_exp.c`,
14502 and `BN_mod_mul_reciprocal`, which stays in `crypto/bn/bn_recp.c`)
14503 and add new functions:
14512 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
14514 BN_mod_lshift_quick
14516 These functions always generate non-negative results.
14518 `BN_nnmod` otherwise is `like BN_mod` (if `BN_mod` computes a remainder `r`
14519 such that `|m| < r < 0`, `BN_nnmod` will output `rem + |m|` instead).
14521 `BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m)` generates the same result as
14522 `BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx)`, but requires that `a` [and `b`]
14523 be reduced modulo `m`.
14525 *Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller*
14528 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
14529 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
14530 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
14532 * Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
14533 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
14534 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
14535 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
14536 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
14537 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
14543 * In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
14544 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
14545 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
14546 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
14547 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
14549 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
14550 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
14551 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
14552 cause any problems.
14556 * Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
14560 * Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
14561 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
14565 * Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
14566 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
14567 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
14568 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
14573 * Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
14577 * Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
14581 * Add the following functions:
14583 ENGINE_load_cswift()
14585 ENGINE_load_atalla()
14586 ENGINE_load_nuron()
14587 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
14589 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
14590 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
14591 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
14592 libraries unless it's really needed.
14594 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
14595 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
14596 declarations (they differed!).
14600 * 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
14604 * Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
14608 * Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
14612 * Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
14613 identity, and test if they are actually available.
14617 * Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
14618 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
14620 *Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>*
14622 * Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
14623 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
14627 * Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
14631 * Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
14635 * Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
14639 * Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
14640 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
14642 *Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte*
14644 * Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
14645 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
14646 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
14647 different shared library filenames on each system.
14651 * Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
14655 * Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
14656 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
14657 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
14660 *Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson*
14663 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
14664 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (`_e` for "error checking") and is
14665 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
14666 binary backward compatibility.
14667 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
14668 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
14669 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
14674 * Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
14675 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
14676 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
14677 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
14682 * Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
14686 * Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
14687 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
14688 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
14689 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
14694 * Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
14698 ### Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
14700 * Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
14701 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool ([CVE-2004-0079])
14703 *Joe Orton, Steve Henson*
14705 ### Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
14707 * Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
14709 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
14710 certain ASN.1 tags ([CVE-2003-0851])
14714 ### Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
14716 * Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
14718 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
14719 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
14721 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
14722 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
14726 * In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
14727 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
14732 * In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
14733 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
14734 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
14736 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe*
14738 * Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
14739 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
14743 ### Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
14745 * Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
14746 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
14747 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
14748 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
14752 * Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
14753 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
14754 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
14755 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
14757 *Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller*
14759 * Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
14760 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
14761 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
14762 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
14763 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
14764 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
14765 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
14766 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
14767 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
14771 ### Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
14773 * In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
14774 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
14775 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
14776 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
14777 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. ([CVE-2003-0078])
14779 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
14780 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
14781 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)*
14783 ### Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
14785 * New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
14786 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
14787 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
14788 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
14789 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
14790 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
14794 * Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
14795 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
14796 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
14797 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
14798 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
14802 * Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
14803 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
14805 *Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>*
14807 * Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
14808 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
14809 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
14814 * Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
14815 being properly terminated.
14819 * Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
14820 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
14821 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
14823 *stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte*
14825 * Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
14826 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
14827 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
14828 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
14829 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
14830 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
14831 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
14834 *Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El*
14836 * Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
14837 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
14841 * Fix initialization code race conditions in
14842 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
14843 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
14844 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
14845 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
14846 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
14847 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
14849 *Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller*
14851 * Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
14852 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
14853 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
14854 (see [openssl.org #212]).
14856 *Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke*
14858 * Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
14859 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
14863 ### Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
14865 * [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
14866 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use `_stdcall`).
14868 *Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>*
14870 ### Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
14872 * Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
14873 and get fix the header length calculation.
14874 *Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
14875 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others), Steve Henson*
14877 * Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
14878 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
14879 assertions could call abort()).
14881 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller*
14883 ### Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
14885 * Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
14886 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
14887 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
14890 *Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>*
14892 * Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
14893 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
14894 by the selection routines (PR #130).
14898 * Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
14903 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
14904 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
14905 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
14907 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
14908 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
14909 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
14910 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
14911 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
14916 * Changes in security patch:
14918 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
14919 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
14920 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
14923 * Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
14924 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
14925 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
14926 supplied buffer. ([CVE-2002-0659])
14928 *Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>*
14930 * Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
14931 happen in practice.
14933 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
14935 * Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
14936 too small for 64 bit platforms. ([CVE-2002-0655])
14937 *Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>*
14939 * Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
14940 supply an oversized session ID to a client. ([CVE-2002-0656])
14942 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
14944 * Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
14945 supply an oversized client master key. ([CVE-2002-0656])
14947 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
14949 ### Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
14951 * Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
14952 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
14954 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller*
14956 * Check various `X509_...()` return values in `apps/req.c`.
14958 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
14960 * Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
14961 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
14962 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
14963 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
14964 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
14965 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
14969 * Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
14970 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
14971 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
14972 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
14976 * Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
14980 * TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
14981 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
14982 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
14983 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
14984 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
14986 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
14988 * Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
14989 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
14990 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
14991 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
14992 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
14996 * Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
14997 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
14998 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
14999 BN_generate_prime().)
15001 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
15002 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
15003 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
15008 * Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
15009 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
15013 * Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
15014 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
15015 when using non-blocking I/O.
15017 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes*
15019 * Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
15021 *Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke*
15023 * Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
15024 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
15028 * Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
15029 configuration for the versions before that.
15031 *Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte*
15033 * Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
15034 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
15035 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
15036 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
15040 * Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
15041 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
15042 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
15046 * Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
15051 * [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
15052 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
15054 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte*
15056 * Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
15058 *Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte*
15060 * The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
15061 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
15062 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
15063 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
15064 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
15065 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
15066 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
15069 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
15070 using a local variable.
15072 *Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller*
15074 * Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
15075 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
15077 *Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller*
15079 * New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
15083 * Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
15085 *"Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>*
15087 * Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
15088 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
15090 *D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>*
15092 ### Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
15094 * Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
15095 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
15096 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = `10..._2` and
15097 `3*range` is two bits longer than range.)
15101 * Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
15106 * Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
15107 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
15108 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
15109 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
15111 *Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller*
15113 * Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
15114 returns early because it has nothing to do.
15116 *Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>*
15118 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
15119 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
15121 *Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>*
15123 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
15124 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
15125 (Use engine 'keyclient')
15127 *Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe*
15129 * Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
15130 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
15131 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
15134 *Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>*
15136 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
15137 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
15140 *Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox*
15142 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
15143 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
15144 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
15146 *Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox*
15148 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
15149 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
15150 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
15152 *AEP Inc. and Mark Cox*
15154 * Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
15156 *Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>*
15158 * Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
15159 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
15160 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
15164 * Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
15165 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
15166 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
15168 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>*
15170 * Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
15171 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
15172 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
15173 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
15174 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
15175 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
15176 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
15180 * Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
15181 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
15182 one of the SSL handshake functions.
15184 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric*
15186 * In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
15187 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
15188 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
15189 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
15190 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
15191 the client will at least see that alert.
15195 * Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
15200 * Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
15201 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
15203 *Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>*
15205 * Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
15206 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
15207 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
15208 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
15211 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
15212 before just sending a HelloRequest.
15214 *Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>*
15216 * Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
15217 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
15218 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
15219 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
15220 may leak via logfiles.)
15222 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
15223 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
15224 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
15225 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
15230 * Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
15231 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
15235 * Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
15236 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
15237 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
15238 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
15239 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
15243 * BN_sqr() bug fix.
15245 *Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>*
15247 * Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
15248 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
15249 followed by modular reduction.
15251 *Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>*
15253 * Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
15254 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
15258 * s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
15259 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
15260 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
15261 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
15265 * Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to `SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]()`.
15269 * Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
15270 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
15274 * Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
15275 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
15276 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
15277 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
15278 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
15279 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
15282 *Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte*
15284 * In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
15285 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
15286 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
15287 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
15289 *Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>*
15291 * Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
15295 * Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
15296 specifically for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
15297 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
15298 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
15299 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
15300 to allow the necessary settings.
15304 * Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
15305 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
15306 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
15307 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
15311 * In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
15312 dh->length and always used
15314 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
15316 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
15317 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
15318 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
15319 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
15320 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
15325 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
15327 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
15334 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
15335 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
15336 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
15337 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
15339 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
15340 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
15341 always reject numbers >= n.
15345 * In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
15346 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
15347 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
15348 variable) is not atomic.
15352 * In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
15353 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
15354 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
15356 *Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>*
15358 * Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
15360 *Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>*
15362 * Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
15363 little-endian MIPS.
15365 *Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>*
15367 * Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
15371 ### Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
15373 * Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
15374 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
15375 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
15376 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
15377 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
15378 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
15379 to traverse all of 'state'.
15381 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
15382 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
15383 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
15385 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
15386 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
15388 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
15389 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
15390 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
15391 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
15392 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
15393 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
15394 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
15395 further strengthens the PRNG.
15399 * Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
15403 * When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
15404 an error message in this case.
15408 * Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
15412 * In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
15413 positive and less than q.
15417 * Don't change `*pointer` in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
15418 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
15421 *Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>*
15423 * Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
15424 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
15430 *Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller*
15432 * The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
15433 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
15434 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
15435 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
15436 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
15437 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
15438 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
15441 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
15442 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
15443 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
15444 detect the supposedly ignored error.
15446 Both problems are now fixed.
15450 * In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
15451 (previously it was 1024).
15455 * Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
15456 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
15460 * Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
15464 * Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
15465 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
15466 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
15470 * In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
15471 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
15472 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
15473 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
15474 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
15475 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
15476 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
15477 environment variables.
15479 * Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
15480 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
15481 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
15485 * In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
15486 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
15487 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
15488 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
15489 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
15490 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
15494 * Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
15495 versions of 'test'.
15499 ### Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
15501 * Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
15503 *Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>*
15505 * Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
15506 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
15507 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
15508 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
15513 * Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
15514 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
15515 amount of data available.
15517 *Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org*
15519 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
15521 * Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
15522 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
15523 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
15524 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
15528 * Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
15529 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
15534 * Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
15535 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
15536 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
15537 <http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz>).
15541 * MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
15545 * Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
15549 * Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
15550 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
15554 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
15556 * Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
15557 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
15558 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
15559 (but broken) behaviour.
15563 * Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
15566 *Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte*
15568 * Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
15569 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
15573 * Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
15578 * Replace rdtsc with `_emit` statements for VC++ version 5.
15580 *Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>*
15582 * Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
15586 * In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
15587 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
15589 *Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>*
15591 * Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
15592 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
15593 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
15597 * Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
15598 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
15602 * Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
15603 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
15605 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
15607 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
15609 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
15610 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
15611 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
15612 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
15616 * Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
15620 * Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
15621 *Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
15622 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>*
15624 * Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
15629 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
15631 * Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
15632 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
15633 but the code is actually correct.
15637 * Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
15638 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
15639 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
15640 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
15641 and leaves the highest bit random.
15643 *Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller*
15645 * In the `NCONF_...`-based implementations for `CONF_...` queries
15646 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
15647 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
15648 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
15649 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
15650 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
15651 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
15655 * Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
15659 * Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
15660 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
15664 * Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
15665 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
15666 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
15667 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
15672 * Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
15673 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
15674 and break the signature.
15678 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
15680 * Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
15685 * Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
15686 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
15687 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
15688 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
15689 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
15693 * Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
15695 *"Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>*
15697 * ./config script fixes.
15699 *Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte*
15701 * Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
15705 * Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
15706 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
15707 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
15708 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
15710 *Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>*
15712 * Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
15713 call failed, free the DSA structure.
15717 * Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
15718 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
15722 * Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
15723 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
15724 when writing a 32767 byte record.
15726 *Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>*
15728 * In `RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt` and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
15729 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting `rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}`.
15731 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
15732 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
15733 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
15734 *Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
15735 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>*
15737 * Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
15741 * Use better test patterns in bntest.
15745 * rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
15749 * BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
15753 * Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
15754 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
15758 * Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
15759 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
15760 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
15761 result of the server certificate verification.)
15765 * Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
15766 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
15767 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
15772 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
15773 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
15774 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
15775 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
15776 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
15777 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
15778 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
15779 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
15783 * Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
15784 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
15785 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
15786 happening the other way round.
15790 * Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
15791 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
15795 * Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
15796 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
15797 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
15798 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
15802 * Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
15804 *Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>*
15806 * Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
15808 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
15809 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
15810 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
15813 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
15815 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
15817 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
15822 * Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
15824 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
15825 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
15826 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
15827 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
15829 *Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>*
15831 * Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
15832 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
15837 * Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
15841 ### Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
15843 * In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
15844 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
15845 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
15846 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
15847 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
15848 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
15849 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
15850 by the Finished messages.
15854 * More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
15856 *Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>*
15858 * For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
15859 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
15860 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
15861 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
15862 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
15867 * Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
15868 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
15869 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
15870 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
15871 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
15872 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
15873 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
15874 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
15875 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
15880 * On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
15881 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
15882 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
15883 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
15885 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
15886 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
15887 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
15888 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
15889 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
15892 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
15893 been tested well enough.
15897 * Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
15898 it can return incorrect results.
15899 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
15900 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
15904 * Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
15905 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
15906 include zero length content when signing messages.
15910 * New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
15911 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
15915 * Add DSO method for VMS.
15919 * Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
15924 * Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
15925 packages. The default package contains applications, application
15926 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
15927 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
15928 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
15929 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
15933 * Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
15935 *Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>*
15937 * Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
15939 *NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>*
15941 * Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
15942 random number < q in the DSA library.
15946 * New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
15947 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
15948 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
15949 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
15950 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
15951 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
15952 just makes things more complicated.)
15956 * Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
15961 * Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req` and `x509`
15962 work better on such systems.
15964 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>*
15966 * Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
15967 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
15968 keyid to the certificates aux info.
15972 * Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
15973 if there was more than one signature.
15975 *Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>*
15977 * Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
15978 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
15979 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
15980 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
15984 * Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
15985 rather than always using the current time.
15989 * Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
15990 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
15991 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
15992 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
15993 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
15994 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
15996 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
15997 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
15999 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
16001 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
16002 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
16003 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
16004 the same hash value.
16006 As a result various functions (which were all internal
16007 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
16008 structure. This will break anything that messed round
16009 with X509_STORE internally.
16011 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
16012 exact match, rather than just subject name.
16014 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
16015 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
16016 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
16017 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
16018 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
16019 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
16020 entirely (maybe later...).
16022 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
16024 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
16025 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
16026 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
16027 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
16028 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
16029 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
16030 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
16031 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
16033 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
16034 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
16036 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
16037 to customise the verify behaviour.
16041 * Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
16042 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
16046 * When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
16047 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
16048 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
16049 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
16050 request is improperly encoded.
16054 * For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
16055 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
16058 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
16060 *Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr*
16062 * Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
16063 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
16064 words set to zero.)
16068 * Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
16069 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
16070 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
16074 * New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
16075 used for low-level RSA operations. DER public key
16076 BIO/fp routines also added.
16080 * New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
16082 *Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>*
16084 * A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
16085 Nuron (<http://www.nuron.com/>) and is now available in
16086 demos/state_machine.
16090 * New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
16091 generation and verification.
16095 * Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
16096 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
16097 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
16098 encode and decode it manually.
16102 * Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
16103 compile under VC++.
16105 *Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>*
16107 * ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
16108 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
16109 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
16111 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>*
16113 * Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
16114 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
16115 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
16116 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
16117 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
16121 * Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
16125 * Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
16126 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
16127 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
16129 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
16130 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
16131 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
16132 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
16133 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
16134 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
16135 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
16136 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
16138 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
16139 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
16141 On Win32, the `LOG_*` levels are mapped according to this:
16143 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
16144 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
16145 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
16149 * Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
16150 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
16151 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
16152 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
16158 *Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte*
16160 * Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
16164 * The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
16165 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
16166 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
16167 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
16168 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
16169 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
16170 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
16171 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
16172 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
16173 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
16174 short or long names are found.
16178 * Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
16180 *Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>*
16182 * Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
16183 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
16184 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
16185 version rollback attacks was not effective.
16187 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
16188 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
16189 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
16190 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
16194 * Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
16195 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
16196 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
16200 * New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
16201 these print out strings and name structures based on various
16202 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
16203 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
16204 to allow the various flags to be set.
16208 * Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
16209 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
16210 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
16211 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
16212 dates to be checked.
16216 * Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
16217 negative public key encodings) on by default,
16218 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
16222 * New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
16223 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
16224 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
16228 * crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (`CRYPTO_w_[un]lock`),
16229 not read locks (`CRYPTO_r_[un]lock`).
16233 * A first attempt at creating official support for shared
16234 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
16235 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
16236 are always statically linked for now, but there are
16237 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
16238 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
16242 * Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
16243 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
16248 * Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
16253 * New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
16254 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
16255 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
16256 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
16257 form signing output easier to verify.
16261 * Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
16265 * New ASN1 functions, `i2c_*` and `c2i_*` for INTEGER and BIT
16266 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
16267 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
16268 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
16269 are needed because all other string types have virtually
16270 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
16271 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
16272 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
16273 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
16274 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
16278 * Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
16280 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
16281 the syntax given in [crypto/objects/README.md](crypto/objects/README.md).
16282 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
16284 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
16287 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
16288 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
16289 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
16290 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
16291 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
16292 consistent name changes.
16296 * Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
16300 * Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
16301 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
16302 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
16303 environment variable, or the default random state file.
16307 * mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
16308 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
16309 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
16314 * Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
16315 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
16316 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
16317 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
16321 * Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
16322 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
16323 a "stack macro" of the form `SKM_<name>(type, a, b)`. The
16324 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
16325 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
16326 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
16327 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
16328 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
16329 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
16330 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
16331 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
16335 * When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
16336 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
16337 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
16338 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
16339 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
16340 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
16341 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
16342 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
16343 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
16344 algorithm to openssl-dev.
16348 * The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
16349 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
16350 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
16352 *Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>*
16354 * New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
16355 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
16356 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
16357 omit any duplicate addresses.
16361 * Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
16362 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
16366 * Increase maximum window size in `BN_mod_exp_...` to 6 bits instead of 5
16367 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
16368 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
16369 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
16370 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
16374 * Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
16376 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
16377 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
16378 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
16379 Free => OPENSSL_free
16383 * New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
16384 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
16388 * CygWin32 support.
16390 *John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>*
16392 * The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
16393 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
16394 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
16395 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
16396 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
16401 * The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
16402 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
16403 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
16404 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
16405 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
16406 lots of the code, especially `_cmp` operations which should normally
16407 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
16411 * When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
16412 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
16413 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
16414 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
16415 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
16416 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
16417 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
16418 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
16419 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
16420 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
16421 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
16425 * In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
16426 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
16427 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
16428 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
16430 *Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke*
16432 * Major EVP API cipher revision.
16433 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
16434 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
16435 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
16436 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
16438 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
16441 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
16442 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
16443 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
16444 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
16446 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
16448 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
16451 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
16452 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
16453 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
16456 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
16457 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
16458 any installed hardware versions can.
16462 * Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
16463 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
16464 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
16469 * Call dh_tmp_cb (set by `..._TMP_DH_CB`) with correct 'is_export' flag;
16470 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
16471 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
16472 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
16474 *Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra*
16476 * Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
16477 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
16481 * Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
16482 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
16486 * Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
16487 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
16488 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
16493 * Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
16497 * Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
16498 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
16499 but no ssl client purpose.
16501 *Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>*
16503 * Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
16504 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
16505 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
16506 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
16507 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
16508 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
16509 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
16510 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
16511 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
16512 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
16513 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
16517 * Bugfixes in `apps/x509.c`: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
16518 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
16519 be obtained from the error queue.
16523 * Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
16524 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
16525 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
16526 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
16530 * Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
16534 * RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
16535 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
16536 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
16537 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
16538 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
16542 * Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
16543 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
16544 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
16545 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
16546 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
16550 * New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
16551 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
16552 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
16555 *Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller*
16557 * CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
16558 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
16559 new functions (`NCONF_*`, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
16560 old `CONF_*` functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
16561 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
16562 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
16563 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
16564 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
16565 configuration file in XML format, for example), called `_CONF_*`,
16566 or "the configuration storage API"...
16568 The new configuration file reading functions are:
16570 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
16571 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
16573 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
16575 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
16577 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
16578 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
16579 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
16580 `NCONF_dump_*` dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
16581 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
16582 arguments as the old `CONF_*` functions with the exception of the
16583 first that must be a `CONF *` instead of a `LHASH *`.
16585 To make it easier to use the new classes with the old `CONF_*` functions,
16586 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
16590 * Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
16591 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
16592 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
16593 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
16597 * Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
16598 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
16599 them in a portable way.
16601 *Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte*
16603 ### Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
16605 * Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
16607 * Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
16608 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
16610 * Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
16611 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
16612 *Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
16613 <attili@amaxo.com>*
16615 * Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
16616 was larger than the MD block size.
16618 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>*
16620 * Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
16621 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
16622 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
16623 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
16628 * des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
16629 *Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
16630 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>*
16632 * Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
16635 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>*
16637 * For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
16638 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
16639 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
16640 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
16641 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
16642 Additional arguments are always ignored.
16644 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
16645 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
16647 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
16648 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
16652 * Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
16656 * For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
16657 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
16659 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
16660 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
16661 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
16662 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
16666 * New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
16667 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
16668 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
16669 does not suppress any output.
16673 * Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
16674 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
16675 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
16676 with all the associated security issues.
16678 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
16679 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
16680 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
16681 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
16682 use the value in the default purpose.
16686 * Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
16687 and fix a memory leak.
16691 * In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
16692 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
16693 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
16694 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
16698 * In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
16699 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
16700 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
16701 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
16705 * Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
16706 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
16707 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
16711 * Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
16712 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
16716 * The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
16717 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
16722 * In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
16723 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
16727 * Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
16728 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
16729 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
16733 * Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
16734 number generation fails.
16738 * New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
16742 * Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
16744 *Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>*
16746 * Assembler module support for Mingw32.
16750 * Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
16752 *Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous*
16754 * Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
16756 *Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>*
16758 ### Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
16760 * PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
16761 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
16765 * In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
16767 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>*
16769 * BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
16770 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
16774 * Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
16775 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
16776 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
16777 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
16778 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
16780 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>*
16782 * Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
16783 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
16784 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
16789 * Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
16790 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
16791 and has to call `..._free`; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
16792 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
16793 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
16794 counter, some don't.)
16795 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
16796 counters or duplicate objects.
16800 * Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
16801 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
16805 * Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
16806 *Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
16807 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>*
16809 * Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
16810 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
16811 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
16816 * Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
16817 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
16821 * Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
16822 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
16823 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
16828 * Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
16829 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
16830 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
16834 * `..._ctrl` functions now have corresponding `..._callback_ctrl` functions
16835 where the `void *` argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
16836 Previously `void *` was abused to point to functions, which works on
16837 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
16838 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
16839 should work without changes.
16843 * `<openssl/opensslconf.h>` (which is created by Configure) now contains
16844 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
16845 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
16846 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol `OPENSSL_..._DEFINES`
16847 must be defined. E.g.,
16848 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
16849 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
16850 defines all pertinent `NO_<algo>` symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
16852 *Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller*
16854 * Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
16859 * Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
16860 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
16861 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
16865 * Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
16866 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
16867 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
16868 request header lines. Some software needs this.
16872 * Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
16873 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
16874 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
16875 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
16876 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
16877 is prompted for as usual.
16881 * Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
16882 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
16883 autodetect the card and use it if present.
16885 *Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.*
16887 * Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
16888 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
16889 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
16890 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
16894 * HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
16898 * Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
16903 * New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
16907 * Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
16911 * Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
16916 * More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
16920 * ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
16924 * Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
16925 equal (it gave wrong results if `(rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0)`.
16929 * Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
16930 options to produce them.
16934 * New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
16935 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
16939 * Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
16944 * Change the `SSLeay_add_all_*()` functions to `OpenSSL_add_all_*()` and
16945 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
16946 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
16947 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
16948 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
16949 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
16950 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
16954 * Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
16958 * Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
16959 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
16960 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
16964 * Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
16966 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>*
16968 * Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
16969 use `void *` instead of `char *` in lhash.
16973 * Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
16974 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
16975 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
16980 * Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
16981 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
16983 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
16984 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
16985 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
16986 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
16987 generation becomes much faster.
16989 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
16990 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
16991 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
16992 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
16993 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
16994 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
16995 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
16996 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
16997 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
16998 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
17002 * New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
17003 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
17004 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
17005 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
17006 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
17007 trial division stage.
17011 * Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
17016 * New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
17020 * New function BN_pseudo_rand().
17024 * Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
17025 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
17026 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
17031 * Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
17032 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
17033 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
17037 * The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
17038 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
17039 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
17041 *Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller*
17043 * Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
17044 used `char *` instead of `void *` and had casts all over the place.
17048 * Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
17052 * Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
17053 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
17054 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
17055 Rabin-Miller iterations.
17059 * Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
17060 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
17061 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
17065 * Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
17066 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
17067 (instead of parameters) in future.
17071 * Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
17072 when a new cipher list is set.
17076 * Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
17077 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
17080 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
17081 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
17082 The new command is `@STRENGTH` (see also `doc/apps/ciphers.pod`).
17084 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
17085 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
17086 *A-Za-z0-9*, ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
17087 an error is flagged.
17089 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
17090 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
17091 the readability was also increased :-)
17093 *Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>*
17095 * Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
17096 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
17097 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
17098 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
17103 * Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
17104 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
17108 * Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
17109 `X509_*()` to `X509at_*()` on the grounds that they don't handle X509
17110 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
17111 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
17114 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
17115 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
17116 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
17117 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
17118 because they handle more complex structures.)
17122 * Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
17123 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
17124 NO_RSA in `ssl/s2*.c`.
17126 *Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller*
17128 * Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
17129 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
17130 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
17131 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
17132 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
17133 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
17134 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
17138 * Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
17139 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
17140 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
17141 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
17142 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
17146 * Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
17150 * New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
17151 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
17152 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
17153 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
17154 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
17157 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
17162 * Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
17163 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
17164 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
17165 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
17169 * Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
17173 * Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
17174 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
17175 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
17176 international characters are used.
17178 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
17179 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
17180 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
17185 * Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
17186 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
17187 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
17190 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
17191 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
17192 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
17193 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
17194 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
17195 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
17197 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
17198 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
17199 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
17200 be handled by the string table functions.
17202 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
17203 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
17204 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
17205 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
17206 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
17211 * Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
17212 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
17213 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
17214 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
17215 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
17217 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
17218 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
17219 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
17220 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
17224 * Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
17225 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
17226 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
17227 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
17228 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
17233 * Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
17234 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
17235 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
17236 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
17237 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
17238 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
17239 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
17240 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
17242 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
17243 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
17244 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
17248 * Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
17249 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
17250 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
17251 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
17252 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
17253 support to pkcs8 application.
17257 * SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
17258 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
17259 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
17260 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
17261 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
17262 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
17266 * In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
17267 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
17268 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
17269 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
17270 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
17275 * Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
17276 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
17277 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
17278 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
17283 * Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
17284 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
17285 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
17286 and any application specific purposes.
17288 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
17289 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
17290 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
17291 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
17292 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
17293 if the certificate is self signed.
17297 * Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
17298 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
17302 * Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
17303 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
17304 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
17305 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
17309 * Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
17310 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
17311 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
17312 Update documentation.
17316 * Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
17317 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
17318 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
17319 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
17320 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
17324 * Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
17327 *Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>*
17329 * Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
17330 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
17331 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
17332 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
17333 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
17334 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
17335 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
17336 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
17337 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
17338 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
17340 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
17342 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
17343 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
17344 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
17345 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
17346 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
17348 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
17349 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
17350 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
17351 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
17352 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
17353 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
17354 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
17355 request additional information:
17356 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
17357 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
17359 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
17360 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
17361 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
17364 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
17365 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
17367 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
17368 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
17371 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
17373 *Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller*
17375 * Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
17376 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
17377 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
17382 * Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
17383 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
17385 *Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson*
17387 * Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
17388 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
17389 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
17390 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
17391 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
17392 included in OpenSSL.
17396 * Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
17397 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
17398 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
17399 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
17400 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
17401 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
17405 * New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
17410 * Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
17411 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
17412 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
17413 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
17414 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
17419 * Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
17424 * Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
17425 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
17426 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
17427 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
17428 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
17429 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
17430 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
17431 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
17432 be maintained manually.
17434 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
17435 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
17436 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
17437 Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
17438 work because people forget to call this function.
17439 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
17440 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
17441 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
17445 * Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
17446 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
17447 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
17448 should be discouraged from doing it.
17452 * Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
17453 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
17454 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
17455 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
17456 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
17457 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
17461 * Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
17462 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
17463 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
17465 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
17466 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
17467 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
17469 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
17470 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
17471 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
17472 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
17473 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
17474 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
17476 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
17477 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
17478 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
17480 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
17481 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
17484 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
17485 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
17486 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
17487 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
17491 * Support for the authority information access extension.
17495 * Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
17496 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
17497 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
17498 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
17499 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
17500 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
17501 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
17502 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
17503 keys so we should be OK.
17505 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
17506 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
17507 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
17508 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
17509 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
17510 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
17511 stay in the name of compatibility.
17513 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
17514 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
17515 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
17517 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
17518 Also rename the `EVP_PKEY_get_*()` to `EVP_PKEY_rget_*()`
17519 (renamed to `EVP_PKEY_get1_*()` in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
17520 `EVP_PKEY_rset_*()` functions (renamed to `EVP_PKEY_set1_*()`)
17521 that do the same as the `EVP_PKEY_assign_*()` except they up the
17522 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
17527 * Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
17528 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
17529 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
17530 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
17531 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
17532 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
17533 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
17534 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
17535 in `apps/verify.c` to take notice of return codes: it was previously
17536 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
17537 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
17538 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
17539 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
17543 * Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
17547 * First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
17548 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
17549 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
17550 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
17551 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
17552 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
17553 single self signed certificate. This means that:
17554 openssl verify ss.pem
17555 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
17556 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
17561 * For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
17562 (and add it to external session representation).
17563 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
17564 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
17565 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
17566 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
17567 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
17568 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
17571 *Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke*
17573 * Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
17574 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
17575 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
17577 *Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson*
17579 * Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
17580 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
17581 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
17585 * New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
17586 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
17587 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
17592 * SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
17593 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
17595 *Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>*
17597 * Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
17598 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
17599 certificate auxiliary information.
17603 * Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
17608 * Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
17609 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
17610 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
17611 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
17612 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
17613 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
17614 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
17618 * Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
17619 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
17623 * Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
17624 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
17625 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
17626 manpages and fix a few bugs.
17630 * Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
17634 * Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
17635 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
17639 * Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
17640 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
17641 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
17642 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
17643 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
17644 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
17645 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
17646 using the new 'x509' options.
17648 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
17649 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
17650 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
17651 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
17656 * Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or `*BSD`).
17657 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
17658 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
17659 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
17660 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
17664 * Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
17665 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
17666 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
17667 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
17668 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
17669 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
17670 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
17671 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
17672 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
17673 the key length and effective key length are equal.
17677 * Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
17678 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
17679 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
17680 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
17681 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
17682 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
17683 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
17687 * Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
17688 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
17689 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
17690 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
17691 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
17692 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
17693 openssl.cnf for more info.
17697 * Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
17698 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
17699 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
17700 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
17701 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
17702 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
17703 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
17704 md should be large enough anyway.
17708 * New file `apps/app_rand.c` with commonly needed functionality
17709 for handling the random seed file.
17711 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
17713 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
17716 x509 (when signing).
17717 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
17718 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
17719 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
17721 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
17722 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
17723 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
17724 that support '-rand'.
17728 * In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
17729 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
17733 * Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
17734 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
17738 * New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
17739 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
17740 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
17741 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
17746 * Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
17747 macros are retained with an `M_` prefix. Code inside the library can
17748 use the `M_` macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
17749 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
17753 * Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
17754 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
17755 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
17756 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
17757 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
17758 print out all the purposes.
17762 * Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
17767 * New `X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i()` functions. These will search
17768 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
17769 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
17770 single function call.
17774 * RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
17775 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
17779 * New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
17780 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
17781 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
17785 * Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
17786 when producing the local key id.
17788 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
17790 * New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
17791 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
17792 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
17797 * Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
17798 a public key to be input or output. For example:
17799 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
17800 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
17804 * Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
17805 in the message. This was handled by allowing
17806 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
17808 *Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>*
17810 * Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
17811 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
17812 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
17814 *Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
17816 * Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
17817 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
17818 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
17819 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
17820 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
17821 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
17822 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
17823 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
17824 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
17825 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
17826 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
17827 trivial: move one line.
17829 *Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer)*
17831 * Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
17832 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
17833 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
17834 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
17835 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
17836 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
17837 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
17838 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
17839 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
17840 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
17841 with an event loop for example.
17845 * Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
17846 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
17847 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
17848 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
17849 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
17850 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
17851 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
17852 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
17853 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
17857 * Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
17858 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
17859 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
17860 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
17861 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
17862 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
17866 * Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
17867 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
17868 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
17870 *Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller*
17872 * Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
17873 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
17874 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
17875 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
17880 * Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
17881 (still largely untested)
17885 * New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
17886 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
17890 * New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
17891 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
17895 * Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
17896 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
17897 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
17901 * Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
17902 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
17903 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
17904 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
17905 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
17909 * RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
17913 * Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
17914 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
17915 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
17916 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
17917 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
17922 * Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
17923 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
17926 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
17930 * Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
17931 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
17932 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
17933 are otherwise ignored at present.
17937 * Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
17938 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
17939 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
17940 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
17941 copied until the next read.
17945 * Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
17946 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
17947 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
17951 * Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
17952 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
17953 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
17954 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
17955 library. Also added low-level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
17956 associated functions.
17960 * Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
17961 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
17962 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
17963 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
17964 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
17965 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
17966 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
17967 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
17968 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
17973 * Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
17974 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
17975 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
17976 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
17980 * The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
17981 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
17982 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
17983 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
17984 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
17989 * Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
17990 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
17995 * Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
17996 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
17997 extensions to be obtained and added.
18001 * -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
18002 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
18006 ### Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
18008 * Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
18010 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18012 * A few more `#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif` pairs for consistency.
18014 *Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>*
18016 * Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
18021 * New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
18022 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
18023 DH parameters contain its length).
18025 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
18026 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
18027 where `p = 2*q + 1`), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
18028 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
18029 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
18030 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
18031 utter importance to use
18032 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
18034 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
18035 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
18036 attacks may become possible!
18040 * Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
18044 * Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
18045 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
18049 * New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
18050 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
18051 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
18056 * Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
18057 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
18058 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
18059 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
18060 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
18061 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
18062 private key operations.
18066 * Added support for SPARC Linux.
18070 * pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
18071 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
18073 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
18074 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
18075 The `PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}...` functions and macros now take an
18076 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
18077 the password callback is called.
18079 *Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller*
18081 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
18083 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
18084 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
18085 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
18086 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
18087 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
18088 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
18091 * The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
18092 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
18093 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
18094 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
18095 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
18096 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
18100 * MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
18104 * More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
18105 delete an unused file.
18109 * Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
18110 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
18111 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
18112 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
18116 * Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
18117 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
18118 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
18123 * New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
18124 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
18126 *Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller*
18128 * Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
18129 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
18130 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
18131 comparison" warnings.
18132 3. Add `sk_<TYPE>_sort` to DEF file generator and do make update.
18136 * Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
18137 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
18138 derived keys are printed to stderr.
18142 * Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
18144 *Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>*
18146 * The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
18147 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
18149 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
18150 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
18151 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
18153 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
18154 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
18155 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
18156 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
18157 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
18160 *Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>*
18162 * Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
18163 The interface is as follows:
18164 Applications can use
18165 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
18166 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
18167 "off" is now the default.
18168 The library internally uses
18169 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
18170 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
18171 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
18173 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
18174 even the default) are now avoided.
18176 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
18177 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
18178 than just having a counter.
18180 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
18182 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
18187 * Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
18188 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
18189 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
18190 Initial "mode" flags are:
18192 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
18193 a single record has been written.
18194 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
18195 retries use the same buffer location.
18196 (But all of the contents must be
18201 * Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
18204 * Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
18206 *Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>*
18208 * New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
18209 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
18210 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
18214 * Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
18215 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
18218 *Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller*
18220 * Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
18221 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
18222 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
18223 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
18225 *Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>*
18227 * Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
18228 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
18229 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
18230 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
18231 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
18232 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
18236 * Complete the `PEM_*` macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
18237 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
18238 necessary function names.
18242 * mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
18243 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
18244 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
18245 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
18249 * New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
18250 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
18251 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
18255 * New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
18256 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
18257 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
18258 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
18260 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
18265 * Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
18266 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
18267 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
18271 * New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
18272 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
18277 * Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
18278 for the encoded length.
18280 *Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>*
18282 * Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
18286 * Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
18287 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
18288 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
18289 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
18293 * Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
18294 *directory* in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
18296 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18298 * Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
18299 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
18300 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
18301 unusual formatting.
18305 * Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
18306 to use the new extension code.
18310 * Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
18311 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
18312 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
18317 * Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
18318 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
18319 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
18323 * DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
18327 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
18328 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
18329 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
18332 * When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
18333 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
18334 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
18335 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
18339 * DES library cleanups.
18343 * Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
18344 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
18345 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
18346 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
18347 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
18352 * Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
18353 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
18357 * Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
18358 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
18359 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
18360 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
18361 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
18362 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
18363 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
18364 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
18365 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
18369 * Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
18370 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
18371 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
18372 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
18373 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
18374 value doesn't matter.
18378 * Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
18383 * "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
18385 *Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>*
18386 "linux-sparc" configuration.
18388 *Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>*
18390 * config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
18394 * Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
18395 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
18397 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>*
18399 * Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
18401 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>*
18403 * Make callbacks for key generation use `void *` instead of `char *`.
18407 * Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
18411 * Additional typesafe stacks.
18415 * New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
18419 ### Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
18421 * New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
18423 * Updated some demos.
18425 *Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine*
18427 * Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
18431 * Fix memory leak in conf.c.
18435 * Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
18439 * Set #! path to perl in `apps/der_chop` to where we found it
18440 instead of using a fixed path.
18444 * SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
18448 * Improvements for VMS support.
18452 ### Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
18454 * Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
18455 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
18457 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
18459 * New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
18460 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
18461 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
18462 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
18463 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
18464 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
18465 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
18466 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
18467 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
18468 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
18472 * Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
18473 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
18477 * Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
18478 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
18479 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
18480 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
18481 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
18483 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
18487 * Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
18488 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
18489 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
18493 * Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
18497 * Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
18498 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
18499 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
18500 key elements as negative integers.
18504 * Reorganize and speed up MD5.
18506 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
18510 *Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>*
18512 * New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
18513 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
18514 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
18518 * Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
18519 that `SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state` be called before
18520 `SSL_{accept,connect}` may be used (`SSL_set_..._state` is omitted
18521 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
18522 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
18526 * Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
18530 * Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass "egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
18531 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
18532 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline" with EGCS 1.1.2+
18534 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18536 * Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
18537 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
18539 *Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve*
18541 * Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
18542 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
18543 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
18544 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to `s->ctx->[default_]cert`
18545 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
18546 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
18547 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
18548 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
18549 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
18551 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
18552 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
18553 Changing settings for an `SSL_CTX *ctx` after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
18554 does not influence s as it used to.
18556 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
18557 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
18558 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
18559 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
18560 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
18561 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
18565 * New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
18566 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
18567 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
18572 * Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
18573 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
18574 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
18579 * Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
18580 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
18581 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
18586 * Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
18587 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
18591 * Support Borland C++ builder.
18593 *Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller*
18599 * SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
18601 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
18603 * Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
18605 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
18607 * Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
18611 * Update HPUX configuration.
18615 * Add missing `sk_<type>_unshift()` function to safestack.h
18617 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18619 * New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
18620 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
18621 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
18626 * Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
18627 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
18628 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
18629 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
18630 now it really counts the depth.
18634 * Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
18635 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
18636 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
18637 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
18638 didn't match the private key).
18640 * New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
18641 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
18642 connection using the SSL_CTX).
18646 * OAEP decoding bug fix.
18650 * Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
18655 * New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
18656 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
18657 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
18661 * New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
18665 * Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
18666 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
18667 such as /usr/local/bin.
18671 * "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
18673 *Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>*
18675 * New Configure option `no-<cipher>` (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
18679 * Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
18680 extension adding in x509 utility.
18684 * Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
18688 * Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
18693 * New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
18697 * Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
18698 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
18699 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
18700 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
18701 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
18702 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
18703 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code embedded
18704 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
18705 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
18706 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
18710 * Change #include filenames from `<foo.h>` to `<openssl/foo.h>`.
18714 * Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
18715 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
18719 * Fix some race conditions.
18723 * Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
18724 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
18728 * Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
18732 * Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
18733 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
18734 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
18736 *Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>*
18738 * Fix lots of warnings.
18740 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
18742 * In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
18743 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
18745 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
18747 * Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
18749 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
18751 * Change functions to ANSI C.
18755 * Fix typos in error codes.
18757 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller*
18759 * Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
18763 * SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
18765 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
18767 * Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
18768 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
18772 * A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
18773 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
18777 * Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
18778 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
18782 * Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
18783 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
18787 * Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
18788 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
18792 * Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
18793 support typesafe stack.
18797 * Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
18799 *Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>*
18801 * Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
18802 old X509V3 handling code.
18806 * New Configure option "rsaref".
18810 * Don't auto-generate pem.h.
18814 * Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
18818 * Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
18820 *Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson*
18822 * Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
18823 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
18824 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
18825 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
18826 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
18830 * Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>` facility which revokes a certificate
18831 specified in `<certfile>` by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
18832 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
18833 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
18835 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall*
18837 * Fix `openssl crl -noout -text` combination where `-noout` killed the
18838 `-text` option at all and this way the `-noout -text` combination was
18839 inconsistent in `openssl crl` with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa`.
18841 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18843 * Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
18844 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
18845 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
18847 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18849 * Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test `openssl <cipher>` for
18850 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
18851 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
18852 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
18853 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
18854 `openssl list-cipher-commands` is used.
18858 * Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
18859 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
18863 * New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
18864 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
18868 * Tweaks to Configure
18870 *Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>*
18872 * Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
18877 * New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
18881 * New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
18882 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
18886 * Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
18887 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
18888 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
18892 * New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
18896 * Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
18897 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
18901 * More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
18902 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
18903 to library startup routines.
18907 * Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
18908 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
18909 codes along the way.
18913 * PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
18914 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
18915 objects to objects.h
18919 * Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
18920 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
18924 * Add LinuxPPC support.
18926 *Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>*
18928 * Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
18929 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
18931 *Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie*
18933 * Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
18934 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
18936 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
18938 * Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
18939 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
18941 *Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>*
18943 ### Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
18945 * Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
18946 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
18950 * Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
18951 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
18952 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
18953 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
18955 *Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)*
18957 * Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
18958 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
18959 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
18962 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
18964 * Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
18967 *Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve*
18969 * Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
18971 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
18973 * Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
18974 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
18975 if someone would make that last step automatic.
18977 *Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>*
18979 * ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
18983 * Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
18984 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
18985 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
18986 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
18990 * Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
18991 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
18992 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
18996 * Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
18997 /path/to/bin/perl` in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin`,
18998 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5` (which is
18999 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
19000 installed as `perl`).
19002 *Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>*
19004 * Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
19006 *Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>*
19008 * Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
19009 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
19010 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
19011 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
19012 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
19016 * DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
19020 * Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
19021 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
19022 is horrible: I feel ill....
19026 * Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
19027 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
19028 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
19029 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
19033 * Make `openssl version` output lines consistent.
19035 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19037 * Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
19038 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
19039 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
19041 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19043 * Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
19044 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
19045 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
19046 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
19047 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
19048 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
19051 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19053 * Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
19055 *Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie*
19057 * Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
19059 *John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>*
19061 * Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
19065 * Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
19066 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
19071 * Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
19072 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
19073 Configure script every time: One now can use
19074 `perl Configure <id>:<details>`,
19075 i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
19076 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
19077 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key `<id>` with value
19078 `<details>` and `perl Configure <id>` is called. So, when you want to
19079 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
19080 assembler stuff you can use `perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"`
19081 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
19083 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19085 * Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
19089 * Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
19090 on the `perl Configure ...` command line. This way one can compile
19091 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
19092 for linking it into DSOs.
19094 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19096 * Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
19101 * Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
19102 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
19103 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
19104 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
19105 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
19107 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19109 * General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...`
19110 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm` by `rm`.
19111 Additionally cleaned up the `make links` target: Remove unnecessary
19112 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
19113 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
19114 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
19116 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19118 * Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
19119 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
19120 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
19125 * Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
19126 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
19127 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
19128 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
19132 * Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
19133 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
19134 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
19135 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
19136 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
19141 * Added the new 'Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
19142 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
19143 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
19144 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
19146 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19148 * Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
19149 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
19151 *Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>*
19153 * Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
19155 *Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>*
19157 * Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
19158 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
19159 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
19160 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
19161 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
19165 * Add new certificate file to stack functions,
19166 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
19167 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
19168 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
19169 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
19170 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
19171 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
19175 * Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
19177 See <http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html>, and run doxygen with
19178 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
19182 * Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
19184 *Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual*
19186 * Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
19187 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
19191 * Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
19192 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
19193 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
19194 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
19195 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
19197 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
19198 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
19199 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
19200 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
19201 no way to reconfigure them.
19202 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
19203 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
19204 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
19205 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
19206 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
19208 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19210 * Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
19211 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
19212 recognized by the users.
19214 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19216 * Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
19217 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
19218 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
19219 already masked variable.
19221 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
19223 * Fix `port` variable from `int` to `unsigned int` in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
19225 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
19227 * Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
19228 from `int` to `unsigned int` because it is a length and initialized by
19229 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *`.
19231 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
19233 * Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
19234 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
19236 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19238 * Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus`' functional also for DSA certificates
19239 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
19240 -noout -modulus` as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
19241 -modulus`. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
19242 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
19243 `openssl dsa -modulus` in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
19244 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
19245 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
19248 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19250 * Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
19251 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
19253 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
19255 * Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
19256 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
19261 * Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
19263 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie*
19265 * Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
19266 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
19267 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
19268 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
19272 * Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
19276 * Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
19278 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
19280 * Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
19284 * Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
19285 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
19289 * Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
19290 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
19294 * Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
19295 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
19296 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
19297 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
19298 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
19299 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
19300 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
19303 * Updates to the new SSL compression code
19305 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
19307 * Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
19308 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
19309 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
19310 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
19312 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
19314 * Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL commands. Fixed *lots* of memory
19315 leaks in `ssl/` relating to new `X509_get_pubkey()` behaviour. Also fixes
19316 in `apps/` and an unrelated leak in `crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c`.
19320 * Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
19321 created by including its DER encoding. See `apps/openssl.cnf` for
19326 * Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
19327 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
19329 *Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>*
19331 * Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
19332 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
19333 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
19334 build instructions.
19338 * Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
19339 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
19340 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
19341 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
19345 * Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
19346 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
19347 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
19348 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
19352 * Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
19353 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
19354 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
19355 so it wasn't spotted.
19357 *Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>*
19359 * Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
19360 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
19361 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
19362 vectors if you have them.
19366 * Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
19367 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
19371 * Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
19372 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
19373 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
19374 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
19376 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
19377 it will update them.
19381 * Overhauled the Perl interface:
19382 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
19383 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
19384 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
19385 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
19386 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
19387 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
19389 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19391 * First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
19392 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
19393 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
19394 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
19395 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
19396 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
19397 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
19398 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
19399 the crypto/md/ stuff).
19401 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19403 * More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
19404 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
19405 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
19406 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
19407 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
19411 * Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
19416 * Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
19418 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
19420 * Make sure `make rehash` target really finds the `openssl` program.
19422 *Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>*
19424 * Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
19425 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
19429 * Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
19431 *Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>*
19433 * Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm` -> `no-asm`
19435 *Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>*
19437 * New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
19441 * Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
19446 * Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
19447 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
19448 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
19450 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
19452 * Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
19456 * Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
19460 * Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
19464 * Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
19465 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
19469 * More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
19470 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
19475 * Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
19476 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
19480 * Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
19481 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
19482 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
19486 * Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
19487 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
19488 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
19489 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
19490 properly to be processed.
19494 * Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
19495 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
19496 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
19500 * Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
19502 *Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>*
19504 * Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
19505 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
19506 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
19507 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
19508 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
19509 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
19510 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
19511 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
19512 or delete all the .err files.
19516 * CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
19517 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
19518 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
19519 to regenerate it if needed.
19520 *Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
19521 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>*
19523 * File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
19525 *Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>*
19527 * Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
19528 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
19529 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
19530 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
19531 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
19535 * Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
19537 *Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>*
19539 * Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
19541 *Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
19543 * Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
19544 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
19545 error, but didn't set one).
19547 *Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
19549 * Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
19553 * Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
19554 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
19558 * Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
19560 *Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>*
19562 * The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
19563 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
19564 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
19565 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
19566 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
19567 OID is not part of the table.
19571 * Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
19572 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
19576 * Sort openssl functions by name.
19580 * Get the `gendsa` command working and add it to the `list` command. Remove
19581 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
19586 * Make *all* `*_free` functions accept a NULL pointer.
19588 *Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>*
19590 * If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
19593 *Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
19595 * s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
19597 *Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>*
19599 * Don't blow it for numeric `-newkey` arguments to `apps/req`.
19601 *Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>*
19603 * Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
19605 *Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
19607 * Add prototype for temp key callback functions
19608 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
19612 * Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
19613 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
19617 * X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
19619 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
19621 * rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
19623 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
19625 * BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
19627 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
19629 * BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
19631 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
19633 * Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
19634 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
19635 unused in the certificate verification process.
19637 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19639 * Fix the various library and `apps/` files to free up pkeys obtained from
19640 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
19644 * Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
19645 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
19647 *Steve Henson and Ben Laurie*
19649 * First cut of a cleanup for `apps/`. First the `ssleay` program is now named
19650 `openssl` and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>`
19651 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
19652 line interface `openssl <command>`, similar to `cvs <command>`.
19654 *Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie*
19656 * ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
19657 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
19661 * Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
19665 * Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
19669 * Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
19670 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
19672 * Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
19676 * Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
19680 * Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
19684 * Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
19685 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
19686 other error libraries.
19690 * Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
19694 * Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
19695 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
19700 * Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
19701 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
19702 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
19703 the new set of documentation files.
19705 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19707 * SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
19708 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
19709 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
19710 number of arguments.
19712 *Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>*
19714 * Fix test data to work with the above.
19718 * Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
19719 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
19721 *Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>*
19723 * Autodetect FreeBSD3.
19727 * Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
19731 unixware-2.0-pentium
19736 * Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
19737 before they are needed.
19741 * Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
19745 ### Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
19747 * Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
19748 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
19750 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19752 * Some fixups to the top-level documents.
19756 * Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
19757 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
19759 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19761 * Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
19762 which allow to compile an RSA-free SSLeay.
19764 *Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall*
19766 * Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links`
19767 when "ssleay" is still not found.
19769 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19771 * Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
19773 *Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>*
19775 * Updated the README file.
19777 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19779 * Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
19780 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
19782 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19784 * Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
19785 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
19787 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19789 * Cleaned up the top-level documents;
19790 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
19791 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
19792 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
19793 o removed obsolete TODO file
19794 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
19796 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19798 * Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
19799 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
19800 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

19803 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
19805 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
19807 * Added various platform portability fixes.
19811 * The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
19812 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
19813 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
19816 *The OpenSSL Project*
19818 ### Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
19820 * Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
19824 * Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
19828 * Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
19829 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
19833 * New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
19834 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
19839 * Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
19842 *Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>*
19844 * Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
19848 * DSA fix for "ca" program.
19852 * Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
19856 * Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
19860 * Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
19864 * Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
19868 * Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
19872 * Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
19876 * Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
19880 * Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
19884 * Fixed the weak key values in DES library
19888 * Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
19892 * Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
19896 * Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
19900 * Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
19904 * Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
19908 * Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
19912 * Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
19913 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
19914 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
19918 * Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
19919 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
19923 * Additional PKCS1 checks.
19927 * Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
19931 * Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
19932 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
19936 * Fixed a few memory leaks.
19940 * Fixed various code and comment typos.
19944 * A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
19945 bytes sent in the client random.
19947 *Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>*
