  OpenSSL CHANGES
  _______________
 
- Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d  [XX xxx XXXX]
+ Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f  [XX xxx XXXX]
+
+  *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
+     overflow checks added in 0.9.6e.  This prevents DoS (the
+     assertions could call abort()).
+     [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e  [30 Jul 2002]
+
+  *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
+     for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
+     by the selection routines (PR #130).
+     [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+  *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
+     [Nils Larsch]
+
+  *) New option
+          SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
+     for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
+     that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
+
+     As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
+     broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
+     SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
+     implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
+     's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
+     applications.
+     [Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Changes in security patch:
+
+     Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
+     Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
+     Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
+     F30602-01-2-0537.
+
+  *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
+     the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
+     negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
+     supplied buffer.
+     [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
+
+  *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
+     happen in practice.
+     [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
+
+  *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
+     too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
+     [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
+
+  *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
+     supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
+     [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
+
+  *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
+     supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
+     [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d  [9 May 2002]
+
+  *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
+     encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
+     [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
 
   *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
      [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
