+
+ * A file in PKCS12 format can contain certificates and keys and may come from
+ an untrusted source. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be
+ NULL, but OpenSSL did not correctly check for this case. A fix has been
+ applied to prevent a NULL pointer dereference that results in OpenSSL
+ crashing. If an application processes PKCS12 files from an untrusted source
+ using the OpenSSL APIs then that application will be vulnerable to this
+ issue prior to this fix.
+
+ OpenSSL APIs that were vulnerable to this are: PKCS12_parse(),
+ PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes()
+ and PKCS12_newpass().
+
+ We have also fixed a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7(). However since this
+ function is related to writing data we do not consider it security
+ significant.
+
+ ([CVE-2024-0727])
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * When function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is called on RSA public keys,
+ a computation is done to confirm that the RSA modulus, n, is composite.
+ For valid RSA keys, n is a product of two or more large primes and this
+ computation completes quickly. However, if n is an overly large prime,
+ then this computation would take a long time.
+
+ An application that calls EVP_PKEY_public_check() and supplies an RSA key
+ obtained from an untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service
+ attack.
+
+ The function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is not called from other OpenSSL
+ functions however it is called from the OpenSSL pkey command line
+ application. For that reason that application is also vulnerable if used
+ with the "-pubin" and "-check" options on untrusted data.
+
+ To resolve this issue RSA keys larger than OPENSSL_RSA_MAX_MODULUS_BITS will
+ now fail the check immediately with an RSA_R_MODULUS_TOO_LARGE error reason.
+
+ ([CVE-2023-6237])
+
+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * 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])

+
+### 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])

+
+### 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).

### Changes between 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 [30 May 2023]
* Mitigate for the time it takes for `OBJ_obj2txt` to translate gigantic
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
+ 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).
these restrictions may occupy is 32 * 128 / 7, which is approximately 586
bytes.
