OpenSSL 3.1
-----------
-### Changes between 3.0 and 3.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+### Changes between 3.1.4 and 3.1.5 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ * Restore the encoding of SM2 PrivateKeyInfo and SubjectPublicKeyInfo to
+ have the contained AlgorithmIdentifier.algorithm set to id-ecPublicKey
+ rather than SM2.
+
+ *Richard Levitte*
+
+ * The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation in OpenSSL
+ for PowerPC CPUs saves the contents of vector registers in different
+ order than they are restored. Thus the contents of some of these vector
+ registers is corrupted when returning to the caller. The vulnerable code is
+ used only on newer PowerPC processors supporting the PowerISA 2.07
+ instructions.
+
+ The consequences of this kind of internal application state corruption can
+ be various - from no consequences, if the calling application does not
+ depend on the contents of non-volatile XMM registers at all, to the worst
+ consequences, where the attacker could get complete control of the
+ application process. However unless the compiler uses the vector registers
+ for storing pointers, the most likely consequence, if any, would be an
+ incorrect result of some application dependent calculations or a crash
+ leading to a denial of service.
+
+ ([CVE-2023-6129])

+ *Rohan McLure*
+
+ * Fix excessive time spent in DH check / generation with large Q parameter
+ value.
+
+ Applications that use the functions DH_generate_key() to generate an
+ X9.42 DH key may experience long delays. Likewise, applications that use
+ DH_check_pub_key(), DH_check_pub_key_ex() or EVP_PKEY_public_check()
+ to check an X9.42 DH key or X9.42 DH parameters may experience long delays.
+ Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been obtained from
+ an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service.
+
+ ([CVE-2023-5678])

+ *Richard Levitte*
+
+### Changes between 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 [24 Oct 2023]
+
+ * Fix incorrect key and IV resizing issues when calling EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(),
+ EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() or EVP_CipherInit_ex2() with OSSL_PARAM parameters
+ that alter the key or IV length ([CVE-2023-5363]).
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+
+### Changes between 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 [19 Sep 2023]
+
+ * Fix POLY1305 MAC implementation corrupting XMM registers on Windows.
+
+ The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation in OpenSSL
+ does not save the contents of non-volatile XMM registers on Windows 64
+ platform when calculating the MAC of data larger than 64 bytes. Before
+ returning to the caller all the XMM registers are set to zero rather than
+ restoring their previous content. The vulnerable code is used only on newer
+ x86_64 processors supporting the AVX512-IFMA instructions.
+
+ The consequences of this kind of internal application state corruption can
+ be various - from no consequences, if the calling application does not
+ depend on the contents of non-volatile XMM registers at all, to the worst
+ consequences, where the attacker could get complete control of the
+ application process. However given the contents of the registers are just
+ zeroized so the attacker cannot put arbitrary values inside, the most likely
+ consequence, if any, would be an incorrect result of some application
+ dependent calculations or a crash leading to a denial of service.
+
+ ([CVE-2023-4807])

+ *Bernd Edlinger*
+
+### Changes between 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 [1 Aug 2023]
+
+ * Fix excessive time spent checking DH q parameter value.
+
+ The function DH_check() performs various checks on DH parameters. After
+ fixing CVE-2023-3446 it was discovered that a large q parameter value can
+ also trigger an overly long computation during some of these checks.
+ A correct q value, if present, cannot be larger than the modulus p
+ parameter, thus it is unnecessary to perform these checks if q is larger
+ than p.
+
+ If DH_check() is called with such q parameter value,
+ DH_CHECK_INVALID_Q_VALUE return flag is set and the computationally
+ intensive checks are skipped.
+
+ ([CVE-2023-3817])
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Fix DH_check() excessive time with over sized modulus.
+
+ The function DH_check() performs various checks on DH parameters. One of
+ those checks confirms that the modulus ("p" parameter) is not too large.
+ Trying to use a very large modulus is slow and OpenSSL will not normally use
+ a modulus which is over 10,000 bits in length.
+
+ However the DH_check() function checks numerous aspects of the key or
+ parameters that have been supplied. Some of those checks use the supplied
+ modulus value even if it has already been found to be too large.
+
+ A new limit has been added to DH_check of 32,768 bits. Supplying a
+ key/parameters with a modulus over this size will simply cause DH_check() to
+ fail.
+
+ ([CVE-2023-3446])
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * Do not ignore empty associated data entries with AES-SIV.
+
+ The AES-SIV algorithm allows for authentication of multiple associated
+ data entries along with the encryption. To authenticate empty data the
+ application has to call `EVP_EncryptUpdate()` (or `EVP_CipherUpdate()`)
+ with NULL pointer as the output buffer and 0 as the input buffer length.
+ The AES-SIV implementation in OpenSSL just returns success for such call
+ instead of performing the associated data authentication operation.
+ The empty data thus will not be authenticated. ([CVE-2023-2975])
+
+ Thanks to Juerg Wullschleger (Google) for discovering the issue.
+
+ The fix changes the authentication tag value and the ciphertext for
+ applications that use empty associated data entries with AES-SIV.
+ To decrypt data encrypted with previous versions of OpenSSL the application
+ has to skip calls to `EVP_DecryptUpdate()` for empty associated data
+ entries.
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * When building with the `enable-fips` option and using the resulting
+ FIPS provider, TLS 1.2 will, by default, mandate the use of an extended
+ master secret (FIPS 140-3 IG G.Q) and the Hash and HMAC DRBGs will
+ not operate with truncated digests (FIPS 140-3 IG G.R).
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+
+### Changes between 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 [30 May 2023]
+
+ * Mitigate for the time it takes for `OBJ_obj2txt` to translate gigantic
+ OBJECT IDENTIFIER sub-identifiers to canonical numeric text form.
+
+ OBJ_obj2txt() would translate any size OBJECT IDENTIFIER to canonical
+ numeric text form. For gigantic sub-identifiers, this would take a very
+ long time, the time complexity being O(n^2) where n is the size of that
+ sub-identifier. ([CVE-2023-2650])
+
+ To mitigitate this, `OBJ_obj2txt()` will only translate an OBJECT
+ IDENTIFIER to canonical numeric text form if the size of that OBJECT
+ IDENTIFIER is 586 bytes or less, and fail otherwise.
+
+ The basis for this restriction is [RFC 2578 (STD 58), section 3.5]. OBJECT
+ IDENTIFIER values, which stipulates that OBJECT IDENTIFIERS may have at
+ most 128 sub-identifiers, and that the maximum value that each sub-
+ identifier may have is 2^32-1 (4294967295 decimal).
+
+ For each byte of every sub-identifier, only the 7 lower bits are part of
+ the value, so the maximum amount of bytes that an OBJECT IDENTIFIER with
+ these restrictions may occupy is 32 * 128 / 7, which is approximately 586
+ bytes.
+
+ *Richard Levitte*
+
+ * Multiple algorithm implementation fixes for ARM BE platforms.
+
+ *Liu-ErMeng*
+
+ * Added a -pedantic option to fipsinstall that adjusts the various
+ settings to ensure strict FIPS compliance rather than backwards
+ compatibility.
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+
+ * Fixed buffer overread in AES-XTS decryption on ARM 64 bit platforms which
+ happens if the buffer size is 4 mod 5 in 16 byte AES blocks. This can
+ trigger a crash of an application using AES-XTS decryption if the memory
+ just after the buffer being decrypted is not mapped.
+ Thanks to Anton Romanov (Amazon) for discovering the issue.
+ ([CVE-2023-1255])
+
+ *Nevine Ebeid*
+
+ * Reworked the Fix for the Timing Oracle in RSA Decryption ([CVE-2022-4304]).
+ The previous fix for this timing side channel turned out to cause
+ a severe 2-3x performance regression in the typical use case
+ compared to 3.0.7. The new fix uses existing constant time
+ code paths, and restores the previous performance level while
+ fully eliminating all existing timing side channels.
+ The fix was developed by Bernd Edlinger with testing support
+ by Hubert Kario.
+
+ *Bernd Edlinger*
+
+ * Add FIPS provider configuration option to disallow the use of
+ truncated digests with Hash and HMAC DRBGs (q.v. FIPS 140-3 IG D.R.).
+ The option '-no_drbg_truncated_digests' can optionally be
+ supplied to 'openssl fipsinstall'.
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+
+ * Corrected documentation of X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() to mention
+ that it does not enable policy checking. Thanks to David Benjamin for
+ discovering this issue.
+ ([CVE-2023-0466])
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Fixed an issue where invalid certificate policies in leaf certificates are
+ silently ignored by OpenSSL and other certificate policy checks are skipped
+ for that certificate. A malicious CA could use this to deliberately assert
+ invalid certificate policies in order to circumvent policy checking on the
+ certificate altogether.
+ ([CVE-2023-0465])
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * Limited the number of nodes created in a policy tree to mitigate
+ against CVE-2023-0464. The default limit is set to 1000 nodes, which
+ should be sufficient for most installations. If required, the limit
+ can be adjusted by setting the OPENSSL_POLICY_TREE_NODES_MAX build
+ time define to a desired maximum number of nodes or zero to allow
+ unlimited growth.
+ ([CVE-2023-0464])
+
+ *Paul Dale*
+
+### Changes between 3.0 and 3.1.0 [14 Mar 2023]
+
+ * Add FIPS provider configuration option to enforce the
+ Extended Master Secret (EMS) check during the TLS1_PRF KDF.
+ The option '-ems-check' can optionally be supplied to
+ 'openssl fipsinstall'.
+
+ *Shane Lontis*
* The FIPS provider includes a few non-approved algorithms for
backward compatibility purposes and the "fips=yes" property query
must be used for all algorithm fetches to ensure FIPS compliance.
- The algorithms that are included but not approved are Triple DES ECB
- and Triple DES CBC.
+ The algorithms that are included but not approved are Triple DES ECB,
+ Triple DES CBC and EdDSA.

-### Changes between 3.0.7 and 3.0.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
+### Changes between 3.0.7 and 3.0.8 [7 Feb 2023]
+
+ * Fixed NULL dereference during PKCS7 data verification.
+
+ A NULL pointer can be dereferenced when signatures are being
+ verified on PKCS7 signed or signedAndEnveloped data. In case the hash
+ algorithm used for the signature is known to the OpenSSL library but
+ the implementation of the hash algorithm is not available the digest
+ initialization will fail. There is a missing check for the return
+ value from the initialization function which later leads to invalid
+ usage of the digest API most likely leading to a crash.
+ ([CVE-2023-0401])
+
+ PKCS7 data is processed by the SMIME library calls and also by the
+ time stamp (TS) library calls. The TLS implementation in OpenSSL does
+ not call these functions however third party applications would be
+ affected if they call these functions to verify signatures on untrusted
+ data.
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Fixed X.400 address type confusion in X.509 GeneralName.
+
+ There is a type confusion vulnerability relating to X.400 address processing
+ inside an X.509 GeneralName. X.400 addresses were parsed as an ASN1_STRING
+ but the public structure definition for GENERAL_NAME incorrectly specified
+ the type of the x400Address field as ASN1_TYPE. This field is subsequently
+ interpreted by the OpenSSL function GENERAL_NAME_cmp as an ASN1_TYPE rather
+ than an ASN1_STRING.
+
+ When CRL checking is enabled (i.e. the application sets the
+ X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK flag), this vulnerability may allow an attacker to
+ pass arbitrary pointers to a memcmp call, enabling them to read memory
+ contents or enact a denial of service.
+ ([CVE-2023-0286])
+
+ *Hugo Landau*
+
+ * Fixed NULL dereference validating DSA public key.
+
+ An invalid pointer dereference on read can be triggered when an
+ application tries to check a malformed DSA public key by the
+ EVP_PKEY_public_check() function. This will most likely lead
+ to an application crash. This function can be called on public
+ keys supplied from untrusted sources which could allow an attacker
+ to cause a denial of service attack.
+
+ The TLS implementation in OpenSSL does not call this function
+ but applications might call the function if there are additional
+ security requirements imposed by standards such as FIPS 140-3.
+ ([CVE-2023-0217])
+
+ *Shane Lontis, Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Fixed Invalid pointer dereference in d2i_PKCS7 functions.
+
+ An invalid pointer dereference on read can be triggered when an
+ application tries to load malformed PKCS7 data with the
+ d2i_PKCS7(), d2i_PKCS7_bio() or d2i_PKCS7_fp() functions.
+
+ The result of the dereference is an application crash which could
+ lead to a denial of service attack. The TLS implementation in OpenSSL
+ does not call this function however third party applications might
+ call these functions on untrusted data.
+ ([CVE-2023-0216])
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Fixed Use-after-free following BIO_new_NDEF.
+
+ The public API function BIO_new_NDEF is a helper function used for
+ streaming ASN.1 data via a BIO. It is primarily used internally to OpenSSL
+ to support the SMIME, CMS and PKCS7 streaming capabilities, but may also
+ be called directly by end user applications.
+
+ The function receives a BIO from the caller, prepends a new BIO_f_asn1
+ filter BIO onto the front of it to form a BIO chain, and then returns
+ the new head of the BIO chain to the caller. Under certain conditions,
+ for example if a CMS recipient public key is invalid, the new filter BIO
+ is freed and the function returns a NULL result indicating a failure.
+ However, in this case, the BIO chain is not properly cleaned up and the
+ BIO passed by the caller still retains internal pointers to the previously
+ freed filter BIO. If the caller then goes on to call BIO_pop() on the BIO
+ then a use-after-free will occur. This will most likely result in a crash.
+ ([CVE-2023-0215])
+
+ *Viktor Dukhovni, Matt Caswell*
+
+ * Fixed Double free after calling PEM_read_bio_ex.
+
+ The function PEM_read_bio_ex() reads a PEM file from a BIO and parses and
+ decodes the "name" (e.g. "CERTIFICATE"), any header data and the payload
+ data. If the function succeeds then the "name_out", "header" and "data"
+ arguments are populated with pointers to buffers containing the relevant
+ decoded data. The caller is responsible for freeing those buffers. It is
+ possible to construct a PEM file that results in 0 bytes of payload data.
+ In this case PEM_read_bio_ex() will return a failure code but will populate
+ the header argument with a pointer to a buffer that has already been freed.
+ If the caller also frees this buffer then a double free will occur. This
+ will most likely lead to a crash.
+
+ The functions PEM_read_bio() and PEM_read() are simple wrappers around
+ PEM_read_bio_ex() and therefore these functions are also directly affected.
+
+ These functions are also called indirectly by a number of other OpenSSL
+ functions including PEM_X509_INFO_read_bio_ex() and
+ SSL_CTX_use_serverinfo_file() which are also vulnerable. Some OpenSSL
+ internal uses of these functions are not vulnerable because the caller does
+ not free the header argument if PEM_read_bio_ex() returns a failure code.
+ ([CVE-2022-4450])
+
+ *Kurt Roeckx, Matt Caswell*
+
+ * Fixed Timing Oracle in RSA Decryption.
+
+ A timing based side channel exists in the OpenSSL RSA Decryption
+ implementation which could be sufficient to recover a plaintext across
+ a network in a Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve a successful
+ decryption an attacker would have to be able to send a very large number
+ of trial messages for decryption. The vulnerability affects all RSA padding
+ modes: PKCS#1 v1.5, RSA-OEAP and RSASVE.
+ ([CVE-2022-4304])
+
+ *Dmitry Belyavsky, Hubert Kario*
+
+ * Fixed X.509 Name Constraints Read Buffer Overflow.
+
+ A read buffer overrun can be triggered in X.509 certificate verification,
+ specifically in name constraint checking. The read buffer overrun might
+ result in a crash which could lead to a denial of service attack.
+ In a TLS client, this can be triggered by connecting to a malicious
+ server. In a TLS server, this can be triggered if the server requests
+ client authentication and a malicious client connects.
+ ([CVE-2022-4203])
+
+ *Viktor Dukhovni*
+
+ * Fixed X.509 Policy Constraints Double Locking security issue.
+
+ If an X.509 certificate contains a malformed policy constraint and
+ policy processing is enabled, then a write lock will be taken twice
+ recursively. On some operating systems (most widely: Windows) this
+ results in a denial of service when the affected process hangs. Policy
+ processing being enabled on a publicly facing server is not considered
+ to be a common setup.
+ ([CVE-2022-3996])
