24 For OpenSSL 3.0 a [Migration guide][] has been added, so the CHANGES entries
25 listed here are only a brief description.
26 The migration guide contains more detailed information related to new features,
27 breaking changes, and mappings for the large list of deprecated functions.

31 ### Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
33 * Due to move of the implementation of cryptographic operations
34 to the providers, validation of various operation parameters can
35 be postponed until the actual operation is executed where previously
36 it happened immediately when an operation parameter was set.
38 For example when setting an unsupported curve with
39 EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ec_paramgen_curve_nid() this function call will not
40 fail but later keygen operations with the EVP_PKEY_CTX will fail.
42 *OpenSSL team members and many third party contributors*
44 * The EVP_get_cipherbyname() function will return NULL for algorithms such as
45 "AES-128-SIV", "AES-128-CBC-CTS" and "CAMELLIA-128-CBC-CTS" which were
46 previously only accessible via low level interfaces. Use EVP_CIPHER_fetch()
47 instead to retrieve these algorithms from a provider.
51 * On build targets where the multilib postfix is set in the build
52 configuration the libdir directory was changing based on whether
53 the lib directory with the multilib postfix exists on the system
54 or not. This unpredictable behavior was removed and eventual
55 multilib postfix is now always added to the default libdir. Use
56 `--libdir=lib` to override the libdir if adding the postfix is
61 * The triple DES key wrap functionality now conforms to RFC 3217 but is
62 no longer interoperable with OpenSSL 1.1.1.
66 * The ERR_GET_FUNC() function was removed. With the loss of meaningful
67 function codes, this function can only cause problems for calling
72 * Add a configurable flag to output date formats as ISO 8601. Does not
73 change the default date format.
77 * Version of MSVC earlier than 1300 could get link warnings, which could
78 be suppressed if the undocumented -DI_CAN_LIVE_WITH_LNK4049 was set.
79 Support for this flag has been removed.
83 * Rework and make DEBUG macros consistent. Remove unused -DCONF_DEBUG,
84 -DBN_CTX_DEBUG, and REF_PRINT. Add a new tracing category and use it for
85 printing reference counts. Rename -DDEBUG_UNUSED to -DUNUSED_RESULT_DEBUG
86 Fix BN_DEBUG_RAND so it compiles and, when set, force DEBUG_RAND to be set
87 also. Rename engine_debug_ref to be ENGINE_REF_PRINT also for consistency.
91 * The signatures of the functions to get and set options on SSL and
92 SSL_CTX objects changed from "unsigned long" to "uint64_t" type.
93 Some source code changes may be required.
97 * The public definitions of conf_method_st and conf_st have been
98 deprecated. They will be made opaque in a future release.
100 *Rich Salz and Tomáš Mráz*
102 * Client-initiated renegotiation is disabled by default. To allow it, use
103 the -client_renegotiation option, the SSL_OP_ALLOW_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION
104 flag, or the "ClientRenegotiation" config parameter as appropriate.
108 * Add "abspath" and "includedir" pragma's to config files, to prevent,
109 or modify relative pathname inclusion.
113 * OpenSSL includes a cryptographic module that is intended to be FIPS 140-2
114 validated. Please consult the README-FIPS and
115 README-PROVIDERS files, as well as the migration guide.
117 *OpenSSL team members and many third party contributors*
119 * For the key types DH and DHX the allowed settable parameters are now different.
123 * The openssl commands that read keys, certificates, and CRLs now
124 automatically detect the PEM or DER format of the input files.
126 *David von Oheimb, Richard Levitte, and Tomáš Mráz*
128 * Added enhanced PKCS#12 APIs which accept a library context.
132 * The default manual page suffix ($MANSUFFIX) has been changed to "ossl"
136 * Added support for Kernel TLS (KTLS).
138 *Boris Pismenny, John Baldwin and Andrew Gallatin*
140 * Support for RFC 5746 secure renegotiation is now required by default for
141 SSL or TLS connections to succeed.
145 * The signature of the `copy` functional parameter of the
146 EVP_PKEY_meth_set_copy() function has changed so its `src` argument is
147 now `const EVP_PKEY_CTX *` instead of `EVP_PKEY_CTX *`. Similarly
148 the signature of the `pub_decode` functional parameter of the
149 EVP_PKEY_asn1_set_public() function has changed so its `pub` argument is
150 now `const X509_PUBKEY *` instead of `X509_PUBKEY *`.
154 * The error return values from some control calls (ctrl) have changed.
158 * A public key check is now performed during EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer().
162 * Many functions in the EVP_ namespace that are getters of values from
163 implementations or contexts were renamed to include get or get0 in their
164 names. Old names are provided as macro aliases for compatibility and
169 * The EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_ENCRYPT, EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_DECRYPT,
170 EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN, EVP_PKEY_CTRL_CMS_ENCRYPT,
171 EVP_PKEY_CTRL_CMS_DECRYPT, and EVP_PKEY_CTRL_CMS_SIGN control operations
176 * The EVP_PKEY_public_check() and EVP_PKEY_param_check() functions now work for
179 * The output from the command line applications may have minor
184 * The output from numerous "printing" may have minor changes.
188 * Windows thread synchronization uses read/write primitives (SRWLock) when
189 supported by the OS, otherwise CriticalSection continues to be used.
193 * Add filter BIO BIO_f_readbuffer() that allows BIO_tell() and BIO_seek() to
194 work on read only BIO source/sinks that do not support these functions.
195 This allows piping or redirection of a file BIO using stdin to be buffered
196 into memory. This is used internally in OSSL_DECODER_from_bio().
200 * OSSL_STORE_INFO_get_type() may now return an additional value. In 1.1.1
201 this function would return one of the values OSSL_STORE_INFO_NAME,
202 OSSL_STORE_INFO_PKEY, OSSL_STORE_INFO_PARAMS, OSSL_STORE_INFO_CERT or
203 OSSL_STORE_INFO_CRL. Decoded public keys would previously have been reported
204 as type OSSL_STORE_INFO_PKEY in 1.1.1. In 3.0 decoded public keys are now
205 reported as having the new type OSSL_STORE_INFO_PUBKEY. Applications
206 using this function should be amended to handle the changed return value.
210 * Improved adherence to Enhanced Security Services (ESS, RFC 2634 and RFC 5035)
211 for the TSP and CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures (CAdES) implementations.
212 As required by RFC 5035 check both ESSCertID and ESSCertIDv2 if both present.
213 Correct the semantics of checking the validation chain in case ESSCertID{,v2}
214 contains more than one certificate identifier: This means that all
215 certificates referenced there MUST be part of the validation chain.
219 * The implementation of older EVP ciphers related to CAST, IDEA, SEED, RC2, RC4,
220 RC5, DESX and DES have been moved to the legacy provider.
224 * The implementation of the EVP digests MD2, MD4, MDC2, WHIRLPOOL and
225 RIPEMD-160 have been moved to the legacy provider.
229 * The deprecated function EVP_PKEY_get0() now returns NULL being called for a
234 * The deprecated functions EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(),
235 EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH(),
236 EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(), EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305() and EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash() as
237 well as the similarly named "get1" functions behave differently in
242 * A number of functions handling low-level keys or engines were deprecated
243 including EVP_PKEY_set1_engine(), EVP_PKEY_get0_engine(), EVP_PKEY_assign(),
244 EVP_PKEY_get0(), EVP_PKEY_get0_hmac(), EVP_PKEY_get0_poly1305() and
245 EVP_PKEY_get0_siphash().
249 * PKCS#5 PBKDF1 key derivation has been moved from PKCS5_PBE_keyivgen() into
250 the legacy crypto provider as an EVP_KDF. Applications requiring this KDF
251 will need to load the legacy crypto provider. This includes these PBE
252 algorithms which use this KDF:
253 - NID_pbeWithMD2AndDES_CBC
254 - NID_pbeWithMD5AndDES_CBC
255 - NID_pbeWithSHA1AndRC2_CBC
256 - NID_pbeWithMD2AndRC2_CBC
257 - NID_pbeWithMD5AndRC2_CBC
258 - NID_pbeWithSHA1AndDES_CBC
262 * Deprecated obsolete BIO_set_callback(), BIO_get_callback(), and
263 BIO_debug_callback() functions.
267 * Deprecated obsolete EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_dh_kdf_ukm() and
268 EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_ecdh_kdf_ukm() functions.
272 * The RAND_METHOD APIs have been deprecated.
276 * The SRP APIs have been deprecated.
280 * Add a compile time option to prevent the caching of provider fetched
281 algorithms. This is enabled by including the no-cached-fetch option
282 at configuration time.
286 * pkcs12 now uses defaults of PBKDF2, AES and SHA-256, with a MAC iteration
287 count of PKCS12_DEFAULT_ITER.
289 *Tomáš Mráz and Sahana Prasad*
291 * The openssl speed command does not use low-level API calls anymore.
295 * Parallel dual-prime 1024-bit modular exponentiation for AVX512_IFMA
298 *Ilya Albrekht, Sergey Kirillov, Andrey Matyukov (Intel Corp)*
300 * Combining the Configure options no-ec and no-dh no longer disables TLSv1.3.
304 * Implemented support for fully "pluggable" TLSv1.3 groups. This means that
305 providers may supply their own group implementations (using either the "key
306 exchange" or the "key encapsulation" methods) which will automatically be
307 detected and used by libssl.
309 *Matt Caswell, Nicola Tuveri*
311 * The undocumented function X509_certificate_type() has been deprecated;
315 * Deprecated the obsolete BN_pseudo_rand() and BN_pseudo_rand_range().
319 * Removed RSA padding mode for SSLv23 (which was only used for
320 SSLv2). This includes the functions RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() and
321 RSA_padding_add_SSLv23() and the `-ssl` option in the deprecated
326 * Deprecated the obsolete X9.31 RSA key generation related functions.
328 * While a callback function set via `SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback()`
329 is not allowed to return a value > 1, this is no more taken as failure.
331 *Viktor Dukhovni and David von Oheimb*
333 * Deprecated the obsolete X9.31 RSA key generation related functions
334 BN_X931_generate_Xpq(), BN_X931_derive_prime_ex(), and
335 BN_X931_generate_prime_ex().
339 * The default key generation method for the regular 2-prime RSA keys was
340 changed to the FIPS 186-4 B.3.6 method.
344 * Deprecated the BN_is_prime_ex() and BN_is_prime_fasttest_ex() functions.
348 * Deprecated EVP_MD_CTX_set_update_fn() and EVP_MD_CTX_update_fn().
352 * Deprecated the type OCSP_REQ_CTX and the functions OCSP_REQ_CTX_*() and
353 replaced with OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX and the functions OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_*().
355 *Rich Salz, Richard Levitte, and David von Oheimb*
357 * Deprecated `X509_http_nbio()` and `X509_CRL_http_nbio()`.
361 * Deprecated `OCSP_parse_url()`.
365 * Validation of SM2 keys has been separated from the validation of regular EC
370 * Behavior of the `pkey` app is changed, when using the `-check` or `-pubcheck`
371 switches: a validation failure triggers an early exit, returning a failure
372 exit status to the parent process.
376 * Changed behavior of SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() and SSL_set_ciphersuites()
377 to ignore unknown ciphers.
381 * The `-cipher-commands` and `-digest-commands` options
382 of the command line utility `list` have been deprecated.
383 Instead use the `-cipher-algorithms` and `-digest-algorithms` options.
387 * Added convenience functions for generating asymmetric key pairs:
388 The 'quick' one-shot (yet somewhat limited) function L<EVP_PKEY_Q_keygen(3)>
389 and macros for the most common cases: <EVP_RSA_gen(3)> and L<EVP_EC_gen(3)>.
393 * All of the low level EC_KEY functions have been deprecated.
395 *Shane Lontis, Paul Dale, Richard Levitte, and Tomáš Mráz*
397 * Deprecated all the libcrypto and libssl error string loading
402 * The functions SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback, as
403 well as the macros SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh() and SSL_set_tmp_dh() have been
408 * The `-crypt` option to the `passwd` command line tool has been removed.
412 * The -C option to the `x509`, `dhparam`, `dsaparam`, and `ecparam` commands
417 * Add support for AES Key Wrap inverse ciphers to the EVP layer.
421 * Deprecated EVP_PKEY_set1_tls_encodedpoint() and
422 EVP_PKEY_get1_tls_encodedpoint().
426 * The security callback, which can be customised by application code, supports
427 the security operation SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH. One location of the "other" parameter
428 was incorrectly passing a DH object. It now passed an EVP_PKEY in all cases.
432 * Add PKCS7_get_octet_string() and PKCS7_type_is_other() to the public
433 interface. Their functionality remains unchanged.
437 * Added new option for 'openssl list', '-providers', which will display the
438 list of loaded providers, their names, version and status. It optionally
439 displays their gettable parameters.
443 * Removed EVP_PKEY_set_alias_type().
447 * Deprecated `EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp()` and introduced
448 `EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_rsa_keygen_pubexp()`, which is now preferred.
452 * Changed all "STACK" functions to be macros instead of inline functions. Macro
453 parameters are still checked for type safety at compile time via helper
458 * Remove the RAND_DRBG API
460 *Paul Dale and Matthias St. Pierre*
462 * Allow `SSL_set1_host()` and `SSL_add1_host()` to take IP literal addresses
463 as well as actual hostnames.
467 * The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now silently
468 ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configuring DTLS-based contexts, and
469 conversely, silently ignore DTLS protocol version bounds when configuring
470 TLS-based contexts. The commands can be repeated to set bounds of both
471 types. The same applies with the corresponding "min_protocol" and
472 "max_protocol" command-line switches, in case some application uses both TLS
475 SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version (e.g.
476 `TLSv1_server_method()`) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
477 attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions would result in an
478 error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX instances are subject to
479 limits in configuration files in command-line options.
483 * Deprecated the `ENGINE` API. Engines should be replaced with providers
488 * Reworked the recorded ERR codes to make better space for system errors.
489 To distinguish them, the macro `ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR()` indicates if the
490 given code is a system error (true) or an OpenSSL error (false).
494 * Reworked the test perl framework to better allow parallel testing.
496 *Nicola Tuveri and David von Oheimb*
498 * Added ciphertext stealing algorithms AES-128-CBC-CTS, AES-192-CBC-CTS and
499 AES-256-CBC-CTS to the providers. CS1, CS2 and CS3 variants are supported.
503 * 'Configure' has been changed to figure out the configuration target if
504 none is given on the command line. Consequently, the 'config' script is
505 now only a mere wrapper. All documentation is changed to only mention
508 *Rich Salz and Richard Levitte*
510 * Added a library context `OSSL_LIB_CTX` that applications as well as
511 other libraries can use to form a separate context within which
512 libcrypto operations are performed.
516 * Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped
521 * Dropped interactive mode from the `openssl` program.
525 * Deprecated `EVP_PKEY_cmp()` and `EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters()`.
527 *David von Oheimb and Shane Lontis*
529 * Deprecated `EC_METHOD_get_field_type()`.
533 * Deprecated EC_GFp_simple_method(), EC_GFp_mont_method(),
534 EC_GF2m_simple_method(), EC_GFp_nist_method(), EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
535 EC_GFp_nistp256_method(), and EC_GFp_nistp521_method().
539 * Deprecated EC_GROUP_new(), EC_GROUP_method_of(), and EC_POINT_method_of().
543 * Add CAdES-BES signature verification support, mostly derived
544 from ESSCertIDv2 TS (RFC 5816) contribution by Marek Klein.
546 *Filipe Raimundo da Silva*
548 * Add CAdES-BES signature scheme and attributes support (RFC 5126) to CMS API.
552 * Added the AuthEnvelopedData content type structure (RFC 5083) with AES-GCM
553 parameter (RFC 5084) for the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).
557 * Deprecated EC_POINT_make_affine() and EC_POINTs_make_affine().
561 * Deprecated EC_GROUP_precompute_mult(), EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult(), and
562 EC_KEY_precompute_mult().
566 * Deprecated EC_POINTs_mul().
570 * Removed FIPS_mode() and FIPS_mode_set().
574 * The SSL option SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF is introduced.
578 * Deprecated EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() and
579 EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp().
583 * Added OSSL_PARAM_BLD to the public interface. This allows OSSL_PARAM
584 arrays to be more easily constructed via a series of utility functions.
585 Create a parameter builder using OSSL_PARAM_BLD_new(), add parameters using
586 the various push functions and finally convert to a passable OSSL_PARAM
587 array using OSSL_PARAM_BLD_to_param().
591 * The security strength of SHA1 and MD5 based signatures in TLS has been
596 * Added EVP_PKEY_set_type_by_keymgmt(), to initialise an EVP_PKEY to
597 contain a provider side internal key.
601 * ASN1_verify(), ASN1_digest() and ASN1_sign() have been deprecated.
605 * Project text documents not yet having a proper file name extension
606 (`HACKING`, `LICENSE`, `NOTES*`, `README*`, `VERSION`) have been renamed to
607 `*.md` as far as reasonable, else `*.txt`, for better use with file managers.
611 * The main project documents (README, NEWS, CHANGES, INSTALL, SUPPORT)
612 have been converted to Markdown with the goal to produce documents
613 which not only look pretty when viewed online in the browser, but
614 remain well readable inside a plain text editor.
616 To achieve this goal, a 'minimalistic' Markdown style has been applied
617 which avoids formatting elements that interfere too much with the
618 reading flow in the text file. For example, it
620 * avoids [ATX headings][] and uses [setext headings][] instead
621 (which works for `<h1>` and `<h2>` headings only).
622 * avoids [inline links][] and uses [reference links][] instead.
623 * avoids [fenced code blocks][] and uses [indented code blocks][] instead.
625 [ATX headings]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#atx-headings
626 [setext headings]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#setext-headings
627 [inline links]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#inline-link
628 [reference links]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#reference-link
629 [fenced code blocks]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#fenced-code-blocks
630 [indented code blocks]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#indented-code-blocks
632 *Matthias St. Pierre*
634 * The test suite is changed to preserve results of each test recipe.
635 A new directory test-runs/ with subdirectories named like the
636 test recipes are created in the build tree for this purpose.
640 * Added an implementation of CMP and CRMF (RFC 4210, RFC 4211 RFC 6712).
641 This adds `crypto/cmp/`, `crpyto/crmf/`, `apps/cmp.c`, and `test/cmp_*`.
642 See L<openssl-cmp(1)> and L<OSSL_CMP_exec_IR_ses(3)> as starting points.
644 *David von Oheimb, Martin Peylo*
646 * Generalized the HTTP client code from `crypto/ocsp/` into `crpyto/http/`.
647 It supports arbitrary request and response content types, GET redirection,
648 TLS, connections via HTTP(S) proxies, connections and exchange via
649 user-defined BIOs (allowing implicit connections), persistent connections,
650 and timeout checks. See L<OSSL_HTTP_transfer(3)> etc. for details.
651 The legacy OCSP-focused (and only partly documented) API
652 is retained for backward compatibility, while most of it is deprecated.
656 * Added `util/check-format.pl`, a tool for checking adherence to the
657 OpenSSL coding style <https://www.openssl.org/policies/codingstyle.html>.
658 The checks performed are incomplete and yield some false positives.
659 Still the tool should be useful for detecting most typical glitches.
663 * `BIO_do_connect()` and `BIO_do_handshake()` have been extended:
664 If domain name resolution yields multiple IP addresses all of them are tried
665 after `connect()` failures.
669 * All of the low level RSA functions have been deprecated.
673 * X509 certificates signed using SHA1 are no longer allowed at security
678 * The command line utilities dhparam, dsa, gendsa and dsaparam have been
679 modified to use PKEY APIs. These commands are now in maintenance mode
680 and no new features will be added to them.
684 * The command line utility rsautl has been deprecated.
688 * The command line utilities genrsa and rsa have been modified to use PKEY
689 APIs. They now write PKCS#8 keys by default. These commands are now in
690 maintenance mode and no new features will be added to them.
694 * All of the low level DH functions have been deprecated.
696 *Paul Dale and Matt Caswell*
698 * All of the low level DSA functions have been deprecated.
702 * Reworked the treatment of EC EVP_PKEYs with the SM2 curve to
703 automatically become EVP_PKEY_SM2 rather than EVP_PKEY_EC.
707 * Deprecated low level ECDH and ECDSA functions.
711 * Deprecated EVP_PKEY_decrypt_old() and EVP_PKEY_encrypt_old().
715 * Enhanced the documentation of EVP_PKEY_get_size(), EVP_PKEY_get_bits()
716 and EVP_PKEY_get_security_bits(). Especially EVP_PKEY_get_size() needed
717 a new formulation to include all the things it can be used for,
718 as well as words of caution.
722 * The SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_cb(3) function has been deprecated.
726 * All of the low level HMAC functions have been deprecated.
728 *Paul Dale and David von Oheimb*
730 * Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
731 - Common options (such as -rand/-writerand, TLS version control, etc)
732 were refactored and point to newly-enhanced descriptions in openssl.pod.
733 - Added style conformance for all options (with help from Richard Levitte),
734 documented all reported missing options, added a CI build to check
735 that all options are documented and that no unimplemented options
737 - Documented some internals, such as all use of environment variables.
738 - Addressed all internal broken L<> references.
742 * All of the low level CMAC functions have been deprecated.
746 * The low-level MD2, MD4, MD5, MDC2, RIPEMD160 and Whirlpool digest
747 functions have been deprecated.
749 *Paul Dale and David von Oheimb*
751 * Corrected the documentation of the return values from the `EVP_DigestSign*`
752 set of functions. The documentation mentioned negative values for some
753 errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
756 Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
757 like `EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0` will continue to work undisturbed.
761 * All of the low level cipher functions have been deprecated.
763 *Matt Caswell and Paul Dale*
765 * Removed include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in and replaced it with
766 include/openssl/configuration.h.in, which differs in not including
767 <openssl/macros.h>. A short header include/openssl/opensslconf.h
768 was added to include both.
770 This allows internal hacks where one might need to modify the set
771 of configured macros, for example this if deprecated symbols are
772 still supposed to be available internally:
774 #include <openssl/configuration.h>
776 #undef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
777 #define OPENSSL_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED
779 #include <openssl/macros.h>
781 This should not be used by applications that use the exported
782 symbols, as that will lead to linking errors.
786 * Fixed an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
787 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
788 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
789 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
790 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
791 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
792 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
793 Also applications directly using the low-level API BN_mod_exp may be
794 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
799 * Most memory-debug features have been deprecated, and the functionality
800 replaced with no-ops.
804 * Added documentation for the STACK API.
808 * Introduced a new method type and API, OSSL_ENCODER, to
809 represent generic encoders.
813 * Added a .pragma directive to the syntax of configuration files, to
814 allow varying behavior in a supported and predictable manner.
815 Currently added pragma:
819 This allows dollar signs to be a keyword character unless it's
820 followed by a opening brace or parenthesis. This is useful for
821 platforms where dollar signs are commonly used in names, such as
822 volume names and system directory names on VMS.
826 * Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY from user data.
830 * Change the interpretation of the '--api' configuration option to
831 mean that this is a desired API compatibility level with no
832 further meaning. The previous interpretation, that this would
833 also mean to remove all deprecated symbols up to and including
834 the given version, no requires that 'no-deprecated' is also used
835 in the configuration.
837 When building applications, the desired API compatibility level
838 can be set with the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT macro like before. For
839 API compatibility version below 3.0, the old style numerical
840 value is valid as before, such as -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L.
841 For version 3.0 and on, the value is expected to be the decimal
842 value calculated from the major and minor version like this:
844 MAJOR * 10000 + MINOR * 100
848 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30000 For 3.0
849 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30200 For 3.2
851 To hide declarations that are deprecated up to and including the
852 given API compatibility level, -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED must be
853 given when building the application as well.
857 * Added the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD called X509_LOOKUP_store, to allow
858 access to certificate and CRL stores via URIs and OSSL_STORE
861 This adds the following functions:
863 - X509_LOOKUP_store()
864 - X509_STORE_load_file()
865 - X509_STORE_load_path()
866 - X509_STORE_load_store()
867 - SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack()
868 - SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_store()
869 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_file()
870 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir()
871 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_store()
875 * Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
876 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
880 * Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY context based on data
881 for methods from providers. This takes an algorithm name and a
882 property query string and simply stores them, with the intent
883 that any operation that uses this context will use those strings
884 to fetch the needed methods implicitly, thereby making the port
885 of application written for pre-3.0 OpenSSL easier.
889 * The undocumented function NCONF_WIN32() has been deprecated; for
890 conversion details see the HISTORY section of doc/man5/config.pod
894 * Introduced the new functions EVP_DigestSignInit_ex() and
895 EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex(). The macros EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and
896 EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() have been converted to functions. See the man
897 pages for further details.
901 * Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
902 adding missing command flags, better style conformance, documentation
905 *Rich Salz, Richard Levitte*
907 * s390x assembly pack: add hardware-support for P-256, P-384, P-521,
908 X25519, X448, Ed25519 and Ed448.
912 * Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
917 * Deprecated the public definition of `ERR_STATE` as well as the function
918 `ERR_get_state()`. This is done in preparation of making `ERR_STATE` an
923 * Added ERR functionality to give callers access to the stored function
924 names that have replaced the older function code based functions.
926 New functions are ERR_peek_error_func(), ERR_peek_last_error_func(),
927 ERR_peek_error_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_data(), ERR_get_error_all(),
928 ERR_peek_error_all() and ERR_peek_last_error_all().
930 Deprecate ERR functions ERR_get_error_line(), ERR_get_error_line_data(),
931 ERR_peek_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() and
932 ERR_func_error_string().
936 * Extended testing to be verbose for failing tests only. The make variables
937 VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF can be used to enable this:
939 $ make VF=1 test # Unix
940 $ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
941 $ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
945 * Added the `-copy_extensions` option to the `x509` command for use with
946 `-req` and `-x509toreq`. When given with the `copy` or `copyall` argument,
947 all extensions in the request are copied to the certificate or vice versa.
949 *David von Oheimb*, *Kirill Stefanenkov <kirill_stefanenkov@rambler.ru>*
951 * Added the `-copy_extensions` option to the `req` command for use with
952 `-x509`. When given with the `copy` or `copyall` argument,
953 all extensions in the certification request are copied to the certificate.
957 * The `x509`, `req`, and `ca` commands now make sure that X.509v3 certificates
958 they generate are by default RFC 5280 compliant in the following sense:
959 There is a subjectKeyIdentifier extension with a hash value of the public key
960 and for not self-signed certs there is an authorityKeyIdentifier extension
961 with a keyIdentifier field or issuer information identifying the signing key.
962 This is done unless some configuration overrides the new default behavior,
963 such as `subjectKeyIdentifier = none` and `authorityKeyIdentifier = none`.
967 * Added several checks to `X509_verify_cert()` according to requirements in
968 RFC 5280 in case `X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT` is set
969 (which may be done by using the CLI option `-x509_strict`):
970 * The basicConstraints of CA certificates must be marked critical.
971 * CA certificates must explicitly include the keyUsage extension.
972 * If a pathlenConstraint is given the key usage keyCertSign must be allowed.
973 * The issuer name of any certificate must not be empty.
974 * The subject name of CA certs, certs with keyUsage crlSign,
975 and certs without subjectAlternativeName must not be empty.
976 * If a subjectAlternativeName extension is given it must not be empty.
977 * The signatureAlgorithm field and the cert signature must be consistent.
978 * Any given authorityKeyIdentifier and any given subjectKeyIdentifier
979 must not be marked critical.
980 * The authorityKeyIdentifier must be given for X.509v3 certs
981 unless they are self-signed.
982 * The subjectKeyIdentifier must be given for all X.509v3 CA certs.
986 * Certificate verification using `X509_verify_cert()` meanwhile rejects EC keys
987 with explicit curve parameters (specifiedCurve) as required by RFC 5480.
991 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
992 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a encoded key
993 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
994 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
995 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
996 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
997 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
998 encoded, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
999 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
1003 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
1004 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
1005 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
1006 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
1011 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
1012 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
1013 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
1014 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
1015 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
1016 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
1017 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
1018 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
1019 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
1020 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
1021 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
1022 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
1026 * Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
1027 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
1028 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
1029 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
1030 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
1031 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
1032 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
1036 * Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
1037 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
1038 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
1039 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
1040 `N = p*q = 1 (mod 3)`, but `N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3)`. Therefore fingerprinting
1041 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
1042 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
1046 * Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
1047 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
1048 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
1049 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
1050 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
1054 * Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
1055 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
1056 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
1057 `OPENSSL_init_crypto()` to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
1061 * Introduced new error raising macros, `ERR_raise()` and `ERR_raise_data()`,
1062 where the former acts as a replacement for `ERR_put_error()`, and the
1063 latter replaces the combination `ERR_put_error()` + `ERR_add_error_data()`.
1064 `ERR_raise_data()` adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
1065 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
1070 * Introduced a new function, `OSSL_PROVIDER_available()`, which can be used
1071 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
1072 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
1076 * Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
1080 * Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
1081 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
1082 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
1083 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
1087 * Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
1091 * `{CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop}` are now no-ops and have been
1096 * A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
1097 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
1098 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
1099 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
1100 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
1101 functions for further details.
1105 * The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
1109 * Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
1114 * Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
1118 * Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
1119 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
1120 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
1121 variables, only functions.
1125 * RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
1126 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
1127 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
1132 * Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
1136 * Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the `ts` app.
1140 * Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
1144 * Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
1145 #defines are deprecated.
1149 * Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
1150 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
1151 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
1155 * Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
1159 * Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
1163 * Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
1167 * Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
1168 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
1169 for scripting purposes.
1173 * The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
1178 * Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
1182 * Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
1183 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
1187 * Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
1188 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the `*sum`
1189 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
1191 *Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale*
1193 * Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
1194 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
1195 The configuration option is now deprecated.
1199 * Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
1200 digest name in its output.
1204 * Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
1205 instrumentation through trace output.
1207 *Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre*
1209 * Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
1210 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
1211 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
1213 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
1214 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
1218 * Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
1222 * Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
1226 * Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
1231 * Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
1232 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
1233 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
1234 to affine coordinates.
1236 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri*
1238 * Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
1239 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
1240 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
1241 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
1242 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
1246 * Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
1248 *Eneas U de Queiroz*
1250 * Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
1254 * Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
1255 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
1256 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
1257 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
1258 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
1259 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
1261 * Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
1262 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
1266 * Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
1270 * Changed the license to the Apache License v2.0.
1274 * Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
1276 - Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
1277 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
1278 - Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
1279 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
1280 - Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
1281 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
1282 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
1283 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
1287 * Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
1291 * Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
1292 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
1293 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
1297 * Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
1298 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
1302 * Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
1303 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
1308 * Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
1312 * Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
1316 * Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
1317 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
1318 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
1319 functionality such as `EVP_DigestSign*` and `EVP_DigestVerify*`.
1323 * Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62().
1327 * Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
1328 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
1329 are retained for backwards compatibility.
1333 * AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
1334 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
1335 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
1336 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
1337 <http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf>
1341 * Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
1342 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
1343 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
1347 * Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
1348 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
1352 * Added the options `-crl_lastupdate` and `-crl_nextupdate` to `openssl ca`,
1353 allowing the `lastUpdate` and `nextUpdate` fields in the generated CRL to
1358 * Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
1359 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
1360 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
1364 * The SSL option SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT is introduced.
1368 * `PKCS12_parse` now maintains the order of the parsed certificates
1369 when outputting them via `*ca` (rather than reversing it).
1373 * Deprecated pthread fork support methods.
1377 * Added support for FFDHE key exchange in TLS 1.3.
1384 ### Changes between 1.1.1k and 1.1.1l [24 Aug 2021]
1386 * Fixed an SM2 Decryption Buffer Overflow.
1388 In order to decrypt SM2 encrypted data an application is expected to
1389 call the API function EVP_PKEY_decrypt(). Typically an application will
1390 call this function twice. The first time, on entry, the "out" parameter
1391 can be NULL and, on exit, the "outlen" parameter is populated with the
1392 buffer size required to hold the decrypted plaintext. The application
1393 can then allocate a sufficiently sized buffer and call EVP_PKEY_decrypt()
1394 again, but this time passing a non-NULL value for the "out" parameter.
1396 A bug in the implementation of the SM2 decryption code means that the
1397 calculation of the buffer size required to hold the plaintext returned
1398 by the first call to EVP_PKEY_decrypt() can be smaller than the actual
1399 size required by the second call. This can lead to a buffer overflow
1400 when EVP_PKEY_decrypt() is called by the application a second time with
1401 a buffer that is too small.
1403 A malicious attacker who is able present SM2 content for decryption to
1404 an application could cause attacker chosen data to overflow the buffer
1405 by up to a maximum of 62 bytes altering the contents of other data held
1406 after the buffer, possibly changing application behaviour or causing
1407 the application to crash. The location of the buffer is application
1408 dependent but is typically heap allocated.
1413 * Fixed various read buffer overruns processing ASN.1 strings
1415 ASN.1 strings are represented internally within OpenSSL as an ASN1_STRING
1416 structure which contains a buffer holding the string data and a field
1417 holding the buffer length. This contrasts with normal C strings which
1418 are repesented as a buffer for the string data which is terminated
1419 with a NUL (0) byte.
1421 Although not a strict requirement, ASN.1 strings that are parsed using
1422 OpenSSL's own "d2i" functions (and other similar parsing functions) as
1423 well as any string whose value has been set with the ASN1_STRING_set()
1424 function will additionally NUL terminate the byte array in the
1425 ASN1_STRING structure.
1427 However, it is possible for applications to directly construct valid
1428 ASN1_STRING structures which do not NUL terminate the byte array by
1429 directly setting the "data" and "length" fields in the ASN1_STRING
1430 array. This can also happen by using the ASN1_STRING_set0() function.
1432 Numerous OpenSSL functions that print ASN.1 data have been found to
1433 assume that the ASN1_STRING byte array will be NUL terminated, even
1434 though this is not guaranteed for strings that have been directly
1435 constructed. Where an application requests an ASN.1 structure to be
1436 printed, and where that ASN.1 structure contains ASN1_STRINGs that have
1437 been directly constructed by the application without NUL terminating
1438 the "data" field, then a read buffer overrun can occur.
1440 The same thing can also occur during name constraints processing
1441 of certificates (for example if a certificate has been directly
1442 constructed by the application instead of loading it via the OpenSSL
1443 parsing functions, and the certificate contains non NUL terminated
1444 ASN1_STRING structures). It can also occur in the X509_get1_email(),
1445 X509_REQ_get1_email() and X509_get1_ocsp() functions.
1447 If a malicious actor can cause an application to directly construct an
1448 ASN1_STRING and then process it through one of the affected OpenSSL
1449 functions then this issue could be hit. This might result in a crash
1450 (causing a Denial of Service attack). It could also result in the
1451 disclosure of private memory contents (such as private keys, or
1452 sensitive plaintext).
1457 ### Changes between 1.1.1j and 1.1.1k [25 Mar 2021]
1459 * Fixed a problem with verifying a certificate chain when using the
1460 X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag. This flag enables additional security checks of
1461 the certificates present in a certificate chain. It is not set by default.
1463 Starting from OpenSSL version 1.1.1h a check to disallow certificates in
1464 the chain that have explicitly encoded elliptic curve parameters was added
1465 as an additional strict check.
1467 An error in the implementation of this check meant that the result of a
1468 previous check to confirm that certificates in the chain are valid CA
1469 certificates was overwritten. This effectively bypasses the check
1470 that non-CA certificates must not be able to issue other certificates.
1472 If a "purpose" has been configured then there is a subsequent opportunity
1473 for checks that the certificate is a valid CA. All of the named "purpose"
1474 values implemented in libcrypto perform this check. Therefore, where
1475 a purpose is set the certificate chain will still be rejected even when the
1476 strict flag has been used. A purpose is set by default in libssl client and
1477 server certificate verification routines, but it can be overridden or
1478 removed by an application.
1480 In order to be affected, an application must explicitly set the
1481 X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT verification flag and either not set a purpose
1482 for the certificate verification or, in the case of TLS client or server
1483 applications, override the default purpose.
1488 * Fixed an issue where an OpenSSL TLS server may crash if sent a maliciously
1489 crafted renegotiation ClientHello message from a client. If a TLSv1.2
1490 renegotiation ClientHello omits the signature_algorithms extension (where it
1491 was present in the initial ClientHello), but includes a
1492 signature_algorithms_cert extension then a NULL pointer dereference will
1493 result, leading to a crash and a denial of service attack.
1495 A server is only vulnerable if it has TLSv1.2 and renegotiation enabled
1496 (which is the default configuration). OpenSSL TLS clients are not impacted by
1500 *Peter Kästle and Samuel Sapalski*
1502 ### Changes between 1.1.1i and 1.1.1j [16 Feb 2021]
1504 * Fixed the X509_issuer_and_serial_hash() function. It attempts to
1505 create a unique hash value based on the issuer and serial number data
1506 contained within an X509 certificate. However it was failing to correctly
1507 handle any errors that may occur while parsing the issuer field (which might
1508 occur if the issuer field is maliciously constructed). This may subsequently
1509 result in a NULL pointer deref and a crash leading to a potential denial of
1515 * Fixed the RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() function and the RSA_SSLV23_PADDING
1516 padding mode to correctly check for rollback attacks. This is considered a
1517 bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1 because it does not support SSLv2. In 1.0.2 this is
1522 Fixed the EVP_CipherUpdate, EVP_EncryptUpdate and EVP_DecryptUpdate
1523 functions. Previously they could overflow the output length argument in some
1524 cases where the input length is close to the maximum permissable length for
1525 an integer on the platform. In such cases the return value from the function
1526 call would be 1 (indicating success), but the output length value would be
1527 negative. This could cause applications to behave incorrectly or crash.
1532 * Fixed SRP_Calc_client_key so that it runs in constant time. The previous
1533 implementation called BN_mod_exp without setting BN_FLG_CONSTTIME. This
1534 could be exploited in a side channel attack to recover the password. Since
1535 the attack is local host only this is outside of the current OpenSSL
1536 threat model and therefore no CVE is assigned.
1538 Thanks to Mohammed Sabt and Daniel De Almeida Braga for reporting this
1543 ### Changes between 1.1.1h and 1.1.1i [8 Dec 2020]
1545 * Fixed NULL pointer deref in the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function
1546 This function could crash if both GENERAL_NAMEs contain an EDIPARTYNAME.
1547 If an attacker can control both items being compared then this could lead
1548 to a possible denial of service attack. OpenSSL itself uses the
1549 GENERAL_NAME_cmp function for two purposes:
1550 1) Comparing CRL distribution point names between an available CRL and a
1551 CRL distribution point embedded in an X509 certificate
1552 2) When verifying that a timestamp response token signer matches the
1553 timestamp authority name (exposed via the API functions
1554 TS_RESP_verify_response and TS_RESP_verify_token)
1559 ### Changes between 1.1.1g and 1.1.1h [22 Sep 2020]
1561 * Certificates with explicit curve parameters are now disallowed in
1562 verification chains if the X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag is used.
1566 * The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now silently
1567 ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configuring DTLS-based contexts, and
1568 conversely, silently ignore DTLS protocol version bounds when configuring
1569 TLS-based contexts. The commands can be repeated to set bounds of both
1570 types. The same applies with the corresponding "min_protocol" and
1571 "max_protocol" command-line switches, in case some application uses both TLS
1574 SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version (e.g.
1575 TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
1576 attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions would result in an
1577 error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX instances are subject to
1578 limits in configuration files in command-line options.
1582 * Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped
1587 * The Oracle Developer Studio compiler will start reporting deprecated APIs
1589 ### Changes between 1.1.1f and 1.1.1g [21 Apr 2020]
1591 * Fixed segmentation fault in SSL_check_chain()
1592 Server or client applications that call the SSL_check_chain() function
1593 during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer
1594 dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the
1595 "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid
1596 or unrecognised signature algorithm is received from the peer. This could
1597 be exploited by a malicious peer in a Denial of Service attack.
1602 * Added AES consttime code for no-asm configurations
1603 an optional constant time support for AES was added
1604 when building openssl for no-asm.
1605 Enable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_AES_CONST_TIME
1606 Disable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_NO_AES_CONST_TIME
1607 At this time this feature is by default disabled.
1608 It will be enabled by default in 3.0.
1612 ### Changes between 1.1.1e and 1.1.1f [31 Mar 2020]
1614 * Revert the change of EOF detection while reading in libssl to avoid
1615 regressions in applications depending on the current way of reporting
1616 the EOF. As the existing method is not fully accurate the change to
1617 reporting the EOF via SSL_ERROR_SSL is kept on the current development
1618 branch and will be present in the 3.0 release.
1622 * Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 3..17863 in p-1
1623 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
1624 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
1625 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
1626 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
1627 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
1628 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
1632 ### Changes between 1.1.1d and 1.1.1e [17 Mar 2020]
1634 * Properly detect EOF while reading in libssl. Previously if we hit an EOF
1635 while reading in libssl then we would report an error back to the
1636 application (SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL) but errno would be 0. We now add
1637 an error to the stack (which means we instead return SSL_ERROR_SSL) and
1638 therefore give a hint as to what went wrong.
1642 * Check that ed25519 and ed448 are allowed by the security level. Previously
1643 signature algorithms not using an MD were not being checked that they were
1644 allowed by the security level.
1648 * Fixed SSL_get_servername() behaviour. The behaviour of SSL_get_servername()
1649 was not quite right. The behaviour was not consistent between resumption
1650 and normal handshakes, and also not quite consistent with historical
1651 behaviour. The behaviour in various scenarios has been clarified and
1652 it has been updated to make it match historical behaviour as closely as
1657 * *[VMS only]* The header files that the VMS compilers include automatically,
1658 `__DECC_INCLUDE_PROLOGUE.H` and `__DECC_INCLUDE_EPILOGUE.H`, use pragmas
1659 that the C++ compiler doesn't understand. This is a shortcoming in the
1660 compiler, but can be worked around with `__cplusplus` guards.
1662 C++ applications that use OpenSSL libraries must be compiled using the
1663 qualifier `/NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORTENED)` to be able to use all the OpenSSL
1664 functions. Otherwise, only functions with symbols of less than 31
1665 characters can be used, as the linker will not be able to successfully
1666 resolve symbols with longer names.
1670 * Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
1671 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
1675 * Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
1680 ### Changes between 1.1.1c and 1.1.1d [10 Sep 2019]
1682 * Fixed a fork protection issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a rewritten random
1683 number generator (RNG). This was intended to include protection in the
1684 event of a fork() system call in order to ensure that the parent and child
1685 processes did not share the same RNG state. However this protection was not
1686 being used in the default case.
1688 A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a high
1689 precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the likelihood of a parent
1690 and child process sharing state is significantly reduced.
1692 If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly using
1693 OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at all.
1696 *Matthias St. Pierre*
1698 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
1699 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a encoded key
1700 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
1701 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
1702 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
1703 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
1704 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
1705 encoded, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
1706 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
1710 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
1711 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
1712 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
1713 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
1718 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
1719 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
1720 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
1721 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
1722 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
1723 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
1724 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
1725 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
1726 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
1727 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
1728 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
1729 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
1734 * Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
1735 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
1736 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
1737 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
1738 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
1739 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
1740 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
1744 * Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
1745 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
1746 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
1747 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
1748 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
1752 * Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
1754 Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
1755 paths should be used for installation.
1760 * Changed DH_check to accept parameters with order q and 2q subgroups.
1761 With order 2q subgroups the bit 0 of the private key is not secret
1762 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
1763 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
1767 * Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
1771 * Revert the DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
1773 The DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature added a select() call to wait for the
1774 /dev/random device to become readable before reading from the
1775 /dev/urandom device.
1777 It turned out that this change had negative side effects on
1778 performance which were not acceptable. After some discussion it
1779 was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
1780 resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
1781 during early boot time.
1783 *Matthias St. Pierre*
1785 ### Changes between 1.1.1b and 1.1.1c [28 May 2019]
1787 * Add build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
1788 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
1789 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
1791 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
1792 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
1796 * Enable SHA3 pre-hashing for ECDSA and DSA.
1800 * Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
1801 This changes the size when using the `genpkey` command when no size is given.
1802 It fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
1803 generation commands to use 2048 bits by default.
1807 * Reorganize the manual pages to consistently have RETURN VALUES,
1808 EXAMPLES, SEE ALSO and HISTORY come in that order, and adjust
1809 util/fix-doc-nits accordingly.
1811 *Paul Yang, Joshua Lock*
1813 * Add the missing accessor EVP_PKEY_get0_engine()
1817 * Have commands like `s_client` and `s_server` output the signature scheme
1818 along with other cipher suite parameters when debugging.
1822 * Make OPENSSL_config() error agnostic again.
1826 * Do the error handling in RSA decryption constant time.
1830 * Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
1832 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
1833 for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
1834 (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
1835 and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
1836 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
1837 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
1838 additional leading bytes are ignored.
1840 It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
1841 unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
1842 serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
1843 the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
1844 change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
1845 new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
1846 messages with a reused nonce.
1848 Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
1849 integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
1850 integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
1851 affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
1852 is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
1853 applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
1854 length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
1856 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
1862 * Add DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
1864 On older Linux systems where the getrandom() system call is not available,
1865 OpenSSL normally uses the /dev/urandom device for seeding its CSPRNG.
1866 Contrary to getrandom(), the /dev/urandom device will not block during
1867 early boot when the kernel CSPRNG has not been seeded yet.
1869 To mitigate this known weakness, use select() to wait for /dev/random to
1870 become readable before reading from /dev/urandom.
1872 * Ensure that SM2 only uses SM3 as digest algorithm
1876 ### Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [26 Feb 2019]
1878 * Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
1879 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
1880 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
1881 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
1882 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
1883 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
1884 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
1885 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
1890 ### Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
1892 * Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
1894 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
1895 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
1896 algorithm to recover the private key.
1898 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
1903 * Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
1905 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
1906 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
1907 algorithm to recover the private key.
1909 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
1914 * Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
1915 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
1916 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
1918 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
1919 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
1920 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
1921 provided by the application.
1923 ### Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
1925 * Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
1926 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
1927 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
1928 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
1929 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
1934 * Add SM2 base algorithm support.
1938 * s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
1939 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
1940 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
1944 * Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
1945 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
1946 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
1950 * Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
1951 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
1952 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
1953 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
1954 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
1955 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
1956 to work in projective coordinates.
1958 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri*
1960 * Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
1961 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
1962 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
1963 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
1966 *Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar*
1968 * Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
1972 * The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
1973 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
1974 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
1975 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
1979 * Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
1980 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
1984 * Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
1985 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
1986 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
1987 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
1989 *Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri*
1991 * Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
1992 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
1993 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
1994 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
1995 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
1997 *Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri*
1999 * Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
2000 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
2001 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
2002 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
2003 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
2007 * Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
2008 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
2009 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
2014 * AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
2015 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
2016 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
2017 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
2018 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
2019 multi-version installation is managed.
2023 * Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
2024 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
2025 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
2026 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
2027 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
2031 * Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
2032 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
2033 chosen point SCA attacks.
2035 *Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley*
2037 * Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
2038 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
2042 * Enforce checking in the `pkeyutl` command to ensure that the input
2043 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
2044 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
2048 * SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
2049 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
2050 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
2051 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
2052 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
2053 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
2054 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
2055 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
2056 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
2060 * When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
2061 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
2065 * Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
2066 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
2070 * Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
2071 binary and prime elliptic curves.
2075 * Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
2076 constant time fixed point multiplication.
2080 * Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
2081 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
2082 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
2083 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
2084 ECDH derive operations).
2085 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
2088 * Updated CONTRIBUTING
2092 * Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
2093 randomness from the system.
2095 *Matthias St. Pierre*
2097 * Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
2101 * Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
2102 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
2106 * Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
2110 * Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
2112 *Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz*
2114 * Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
2118 * Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
2119 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
2120 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
2124 * Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
2129 * Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
2130 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
2134 * Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
2138 * Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
2139 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
2141 *Matthias St. Pierre*
2143 * QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
2144 for the license change).
2148 * TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
2149 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
2153 * Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
2154 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
2155 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
2156 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
2157 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
2158 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
2159 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
2163 * On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
2164 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
2165 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
2166 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
2167 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
2168 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
2169 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
2170 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
2171 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
2172 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
2173 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
2178 * Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
2183 * Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
2184 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
2185 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
2186 get the search data out of them.
2190 * Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
2191 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
2192 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
2193 <https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3>
2197 * Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
2199 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
2200 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
2201 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
2202 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
2203 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
2204 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
2206 Some of its new features are:
2207 - Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
2208 - The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
2209 - There is a public and private DRBG instance.
2210 - The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
2211 - Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
2212 - The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
2215 *Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre*
2217 * Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
2218 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
2219 to display all sorts of configuration data.
2223 * Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
2227 * Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
2231 * The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
2236 * Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
2237 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
2238 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
2239 debug (or make silent).
2243 * Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
2244 arguments to config / Configure.
2248 * Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
2252 * Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
2253 *Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,*
2254 *Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,*
2255 *Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com>*
2257 * Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
2258 as documented in RFC6066.
2259 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
2261 *Filipe Raimundo da Silva*
2263 * Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
2264 *Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,*
2265 *Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,*
2266 *Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com>*
2268 * Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
2269 original author does not agree with the license change.
2273 * Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
2277 * Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
2278 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
2282 * Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
2283 without clearing the errors.
2287 * Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
2288 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
2289 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
2297 * The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
2298 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
2299 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
2302 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
2303 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
2304 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
2305 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
2309 * Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
2310 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
2311 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
2312 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
2313 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
2314 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
2315 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
2319 * Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
2320 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
2321 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
2322 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
2326 * Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
2327 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
2328 error code calls like this:
2330 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
2332 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
2333 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
2336 *Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson*
2338 * Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
2342 * Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
2343 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
2344 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
2345 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
2349 * In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
2350 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
2351 than just the call where this user data is passed.
2355 * Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
2358 *Tomáš Mráz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>*
2360 * Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
2361 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
2362 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
2363 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
2364 prohibits this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
2365 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
2366 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause interoperability
2371 * Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
2372 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
2373 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
2378 * Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
2379 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
2381 *Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov*
2383 * Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
2388 * Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
2389 platform rather than 'mingw'.
2393 * The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
2394 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
2395 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
2396 certificates and CRLs.
2400 * x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
2401 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
2405 * Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
2406 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
2410 * Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
2411 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
2412 which is the minimum version we support.
2416 * Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
2417 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
2418 are no longer allowed.
2422 * Add support for ARIA
2426 * s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
2427 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
2428 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
2429 using "-servername".
2433 * Add support for SipHash
2437 * OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
2438 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
2439 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
2440 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
2444 * 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
2445 using the algorithm defined in
2446 <https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt>
2450 * Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
2452 *Richard Levitte, Rich Salz*
2454 * Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
2458 * The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
2459 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
2466 ### Changes between 1.1.0k and 1.1.0l [10 Sep 2019]
2468 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
2469 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a encoded key
2470 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
2471 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
2472 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
2473 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
2474 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
2475 encoded, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
2476 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
2480 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
2481 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
2482 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
2483 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
2488 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
2489 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
2490 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
2491 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
2492 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
2493 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
2494 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
2495 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
2496 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
2497 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
2498 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
2499 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
2504 * Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
2506 Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
2507 paths should be used for installation.
2512 ### Changes between 1.1.0j and 1.1.0k [28 May 2019]
2514 * Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
2515 This changes the size when using the `genpkey` command when no size is given.
2516 It fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
2517 generation commands to use 2048 bits by default.
2521 * Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
2523 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
2524 for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
2525 (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
2526 and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
2527 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
2528 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
2529 additional leading bytes are ignored.
2531 It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
2532 unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
2533 serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
2534 the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
2535 change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
2536 new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
2537 messages with a reused nonce.
2539 Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
2540 integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
2541 integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
2542 affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
2543 is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
2544 applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
2545 length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
2547 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
2553 * Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
2554 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
2555 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
2556 to affine coordinates.
2558 *Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri*
2560 * Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
2561 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
2565 * Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
2569 * Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
2570 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
2571 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
2575 ### Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.0j [20 Nov 2018]
2577 * Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
2579 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
2580 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
2581 algorithm to recover the private key.
2583 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
2588 * Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
2590 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
2591 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
2592 algorithm to recover the private key.
2594 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
2599 * Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
2600 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
2601 chosen point SCA attacks.
2603 *Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley*
2605 ### Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [14 Aug 2018]
2607 * Client DoS due to large DH parameter
2609 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
2610 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
2611 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
2612 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
2613 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
2615 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
2620 * Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
2622 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
2623 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
2624 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
2625 recover the private key.
2627 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
2628 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
2633 * Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
2634 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
2635 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
2639 * Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
2640 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
2644 * Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
2645 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
2646 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
2647 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
2650 *Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar*
2652 * Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
2656 * Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
2657 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
2661 * When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
2662 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
2666 * Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
2667 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
2668 are no longer allowed.
2672 * Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
2674 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
2675 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
2676 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
2677 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
2678 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
2679 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
2680 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
2681 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
2682 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
2683 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
2684 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
2685 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
2686 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
2690 ### Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
2692 * Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
2694 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
2695 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
2696 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
2697 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
2698 so this is considered safe.
2700 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
2706 * Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
2708 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
2709 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
2710 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
2711 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
2712 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
2713 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
2715 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
2721 * Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
2722 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
2723 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
2724 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
2728 * Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
2730 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
2731 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
2732 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
2733 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
2734 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
2736 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
2737 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
2738 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
2742 * Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
2747 * rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
2749 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
2750 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
2751 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
2752 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
2753 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
2754 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
2755 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
2756 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
2757 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
2758 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
2760 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
2761 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
2763 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
2764 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
2769 ### Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
2771 * bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
2773 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2774 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2775 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2776 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2777 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2778 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2779 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2780 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2781 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2782 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2783 key that is shared between multiple clients.
2785 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
2786 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
2788 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
2793 * Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
2795 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
2796 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
2797 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
2799 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
2804 ### Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
2806 * Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
2807 platform rather than 'mingw'.
2811 * Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
2812 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
2813 which is the minimum version we support.
2817 ### Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
2819 * Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
2821 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
2822 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
2823 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
2824 and servers are affected.
2826 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
2831 ### Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
2833 * Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
2835 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
2836 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
2837 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
2839 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
2844 * Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
2846 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
2847 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
2848 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
2851 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2856 * BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2858 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2859 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2860 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2861 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2862 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2863 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2864 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2865 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2866 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2867 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2868 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2869 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
2870 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
2872 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
2877 ### Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
2879 * ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
2881 TLS connections using `*-CHACHA20-POLY1305` ciphersuites are susceptible to
2882 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
2883 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
2885 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
2890 * CMS Null dereference
2892 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
2893 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
2894 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
2895 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
2896 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
2899 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
2904 * Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
2906 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
2907 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
2908 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
2909 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
2910 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
2911 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
2912 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
2913 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
2914 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
2915 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
2916 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
2917 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
2918 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
2919 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
2921 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
2922 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
2923 providing reproducible case.
2928 * Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
2929 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
2933 ### Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
2935 * Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
2937 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
2938 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
2939 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
2940 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
2941 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
2942 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
2944 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
2946 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
2951 ### Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
2953 * OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
2955 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
2956 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
2957 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
2958 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
2959 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
2960 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
2961 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
2963 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
2968 * SSL_peek() hang on empty record
2970 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
2971 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
2972 Denial Of Service attack.
2974 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
2979 * Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
2980 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
2982 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
2983 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
2984 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
2985 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
2986 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
2987 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
2988 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
2989 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
2990 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
2991 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
2992 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
2993 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
2994 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
2995 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
2996 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
2998 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
2999 that the connection fails
3001 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
3002 very little free memory
3004 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
3005 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
3006 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
3007 memory to service the multiple requests.
3009 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
3010 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
3011 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
3012 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
3013 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
3015 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
3016 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
3020 * solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
3021 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
3022 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
3023 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
3024 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
3025 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
3026 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
3030 ### Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
3032 * Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
3033 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
3034 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
3035 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
3036 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
3041 * To mitigate the SWEET32 attack ([CVE-2016-2183]), 3DES cipher suites
3042 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
3043 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
3047 * The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
3048 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
3049 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
3050 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
3054 * The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
3055 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
3060 * The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
3061 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
3062 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
3063 no-ops and deprecated.
3067 * Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
3068 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
3071 *Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz*
3073 * The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with `OPENSSL_SK_`
3074 and `OPENSSL_LH_`, respectively. The old names are available
3075 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
3079 * Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
3080 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
3081 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
3082 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
3083 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
3084 and the validity of object reference counter.
3086 *fdasilvayy@gmail.com*
3088 * With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
3089 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
3090 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
3091 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
3095 * Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
3099 * Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
3100 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
3101 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
3102 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
3104 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
3108 * Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
3109 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
3113 * Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
3117 * Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
3121 * To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
3122 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
3123 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
3124 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
3125 name and is used as is.
3129 * The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
3130 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
3131 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
3135 * "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
3136 the "no-shared" Configure option.
3140 * Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
3141 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
3146 * Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
3147 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
3148 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
3149 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
3150 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
3151 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
3152 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
3153 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
3154 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
3158 * --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
3159 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
3160 enabled with '--debug' builds.
3162 *Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper*
3164 * Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
3165 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
3166 these have been added.
3170 * Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
3171 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
3172 functions for managing these have been added.
3176 * Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
3177 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
3178 these have been added.
3182 * Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
3183 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
3188 * Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
3192 * Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
3196 * Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
3197 it is always safe to #include a header now.
3201 * Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
3205 * Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
3209 * Add support for HKDF.
3211 *Alessandro Ghedini*
3213 * Add support for blake2b and blake2s
3217 * Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
3218 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
3219 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
3220 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
3221 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
3222 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
3223 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
3227 * Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
3228 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
3229 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
3233 * OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
3234 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
3235 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
3236 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
3237 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
3238 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
3240 *Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell*
3242 * Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
3243 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
3247 * Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
3251 * Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
3252 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
3253 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
3254 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
3255 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
3256 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
3261 * Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
3262 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
3266 * RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
3267 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
3268 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
3272 * If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
3273 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
3274 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
3275 implemented by other servers.
3279 * Add X25519 support.
3280 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
3281 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
3282 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
3283 key generation and key derivation.
3285 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
3290 * Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
3291 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
3292 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak ([CVE-2016-0798]),
3293 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
3294 seed, even if the seed is configured.
3296 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
3297 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
3298 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
3299 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
3300 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
3301 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
3302 that of a valid user.
3306 * Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
3307 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
3308 only applies to the engines in `engines/`, those in `crypto/engine/`
3309 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
3311 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
3312 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
3314 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
3315 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
3316 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
3317 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
3319 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
3320 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
3325 * Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
3326 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
3327 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
3328 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
3329 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
3330 of how OpenSSL was configured.
3332 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
3333 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
3334 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
3338 * Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
3342 * The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
3343 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
3344 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
3349 * Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
3350 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
3351 old #define's might need to be updated.
3353 *Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz*
3355 * Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
3359 * New "unified" build system
3361 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
3362 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
3364 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
3365 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
3366 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
3368 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
3369 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
3370 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
3371 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
3374 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
3375 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
3376 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
3377 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
3378 libraries" in INSTALL.
3380 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
3384 * Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
3385 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
3386 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
3387 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
3391 * The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
3392 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
3394 * Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
3395 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
3396 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
3397 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
3398 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
3399 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
3400 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
3401 have been adapted accordingly.
3405 * RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
3410 * CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
3411 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
3412 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
3413 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
3417 * The signature of the session callback configured with
3418 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
3419 was explicitly marked as `const unsigned char*` instead of
3424 * Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
3425 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
3429 * Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
3430 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
3431 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
3433 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
3434 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
3436 *Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov*
3438 * Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
3440 *Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov*
3442 * Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
3443 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
3444 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
3445 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
3448 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
3449 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
3450 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
3451 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
3452 configuration in one of the `Configurations/*.conf` files (in
3457 * To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
3458 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
3459 straightforward and less interdependent.
3461 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
3462 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
3463 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
3465 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
3466 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
3467 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
3469 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
3470 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
3471 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
3472 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
3474 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
3475 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
3479 * The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
3480 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
3481 See: <https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries>. Libssl still retains
3482 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
3487 * EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
3490 *Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz*
3492 * The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
3493 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
3494 before trying to build now.*
3498 * The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
3503 * Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
3505 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
3506 the application's responsibility. The application provides
3507 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
3508 used to authenticate the peer.
3510 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
3511 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
3512 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
3513 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
3514 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
3518 * Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
3519 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
3520 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
3521 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
3522 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
3523 or the 1.1.0 releases.
3525 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
3526 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
3527 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
3528 support for the deprecated features from the library and
3529 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
3530 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
3531 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
3532 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
3535 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
3536 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
3537 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
3538 compile with later releases.
3540 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
3541 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
3542 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
3543 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
3544 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
3548 * Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
3549 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
3550 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
3551 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
3552 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
3553 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
3554 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
3555 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
3559 * Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
3563 * New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
3564 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
3565 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
3568 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
3569 include the ec.h header file instead.
3573 * Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
3574 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
3575 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
3579 * Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
3580 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
3583 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
3584 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
3586 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
3587 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
3588 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
3591 1) `EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()`, `EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup()` and
3592 `HMAC_CTX_cleanup()` were removed. `HMAC_CTX_reset()` and
3593 `EVP_MD_CTX_reset()` should be called instead to reinitialise
3594 an already created structure.
3595 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
3596 destructors, `EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy)` were renamed to
3597 `EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free)`. The old names are retained as macros
3598 for deprecated builds.
3602 * Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
3603 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
3604 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
3605 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
3606 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
3607 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
3608 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
3612 * SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
3613 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
3614 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
3615 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
3619 * SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
3620 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
3624 * Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
3625 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
3629 * State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
3630 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
3631 with the old code (see [ssl/statem/README.md](ssl/statem/README.md) for
3632 further details). This change does have some associated API changes.
3633 Notably the SSL_state() function has been removed and replaced by
3634 SSL_get_state which now returns an "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int.
3635 SSL_set_state() has been removed altogether. The previous handshake states
3636 defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have also been removed.
3640 * All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
3641 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
3642 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
3646 * The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
3650 * Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
3653 *Matt Caswell, Rich Salz*
3655 * New ASN.1 embed macro.
3657 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
3658 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
3666 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
3667 set a mandatory field to NULL.
3669 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
3670 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
3671 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
3676 * Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
3680 * Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
3681 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
3682 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
3683 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
3687 * Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
3688 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
3689 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
3690 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
3694 * Fix no-stdio build.
3695 *David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also*
3696 *Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com>*
3698 * New testing framework
3699 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
3700 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
3701 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
3702 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
3703 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
3704 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
3706 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
3708 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
3709 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
3713 * Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
3714 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
3715 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
3716 and others were changed. All are now documented.
3720 * In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
3723 *Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>*
3725 * Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
3726 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
3728 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
3729 original RSA_PSK patch.
3733 * Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
3734 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
3735 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
3736 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
3740 * Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
3741 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
3745 * Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
3746 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
3747 hasn't been working properly for a while.
3751 * The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
3752 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
3753 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
3754 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
3759 * Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
3760 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
3761 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
3762 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
3766 * Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
3767 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
3768 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
3769 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
3770 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
3771 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
3775 * Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
3776 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
3777 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
3778 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
3779 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
3780 header file has been removed.
3784 * Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
3785 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
3789 * RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
3790 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
3791 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
3793 * Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
3798 * Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
3802 * Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
3807 * RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
3811 * Added support for TLS extended master secret from
3812 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
3813 initial patch which was a great help during development.
3817 * All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
3818 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
3819 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
3820 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
3824 * config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
3825 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
3826 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
3827 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
3828 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
3829 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
3833 * Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
3834 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
3835 at <https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf>. Support
3836 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
3840 * SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
3841 compatible client hello.
3845 * Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
3846 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
3848 *Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>*
3850 * CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
3854 * Removed old DES API.
3858 * Remove various unsupported platforms:
3864 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
3869 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
3873 * Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
3874 - Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
3875 - Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
3876 - OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
3877 - OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
3878 - OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
3879 - Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
3880 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
3881 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
3882 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
3883 - Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
3887 * Cleaned up dead code
3888 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
3892 * Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
3893 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
3894 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
3898 * Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
3899 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
3900 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
3904 * Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
3905 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
3907 *Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>*
3909 * New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
3910 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
3912 *Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>*
3914 * Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3917 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
3919 * Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3920 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
3922 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
3924 * Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3926 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
3928 * A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3929 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3932 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3933 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3934 preparing the fix ([CVE-2014-0160])
3936 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
3938 * Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3939 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3940 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3941 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140>
3943 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3944 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix ([CVE-2014-0076])
3946 *Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger*
3948 * Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3949 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3953 * Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
3955 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
3956 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
3958 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
3959 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
3961 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
3964 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
3968 * Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3969 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3970 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3971 algorithms and include tests cases.
3975 * Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
3980 * Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3981 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3985 * Make openssl verify return errors.
3987 *Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie*
3989 * New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
3990 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
3994 * Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
3995 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
4000 * Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
4001 sign or verify all in one operation.
4005 * Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
4006 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
4007 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
4011 * Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
4015 * Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
4019 * Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
4020 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
4021 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
4022 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
4023 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
4027 * New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
4032 * More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
4033 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
4034 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
4038 * Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
4041 * Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
4042 POST to handle HMAC cases.
4046 * Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
4047 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
4051 * Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
4052 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
4053 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
4057 * Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
4058 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
4059 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
4060 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
4061 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
4062 requested amount of entropy.
4066 * Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
4067 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
4071 * CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
4072 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
4073 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
4078 * Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
4079 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
4080 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
4084 * XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
4085 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
4086 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
4087 will never use XTS mode.
4091 * Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
4092 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
4093 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
4094 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
4095 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
4096 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
4100 * Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form `FIPS_rand*` to `FIPS_x931*`.
4101 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
4102 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
4103 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
4107 * Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
4108 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
4109 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
4113 * Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
4117 * New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
4121 * New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
4122 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
4126 * Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
4127 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
4131 * Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
4132 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
4136 * Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
4137 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
4138 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
4139 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
4140 and rename any affected symbols.
4144 * Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
4145 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
4149 * Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
4150 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
4151 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
4155 * New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
4159 * New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
4160 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
4161 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
4165 * Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
4166 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
4170 * Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
4171 setting output buffer to NULL. The `*Final` function must be
4172 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
4173 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
4174 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
4175 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
4180 * New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
4181 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
4182 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
4183 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
4184 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
4185 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
4186 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
4187 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
4191 * If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
4192 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
4196 * Improve forward-security support: add functions
4198 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(
4199 SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
4200 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(
4201 SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
4203 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
4204 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
4205 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
4206 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
4207 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
4208 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
4210 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
4211 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
4212 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward

4217 * New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
4222 * Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
4223 Add CMAC pkey methods.
4227 * Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
4228 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
4229 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
4233 * Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
4234 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
4235 multi-process servers.
4239 * Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
4240 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
4241 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
4242 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
4243 RAND_METHOD structure.
4247 * New macro `__owur` for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
4248 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
4249 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
4250 whose return value is often ignored.
4254 * New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
4255 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
4256 validated when establishing a connection.

4263 ### Changes between 1.0.2s and 1.0.2t [10 Sep 2019]
4265 * For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
4266 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a encoded key
4267 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
4268 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
4269 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
4270 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
4271 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
4272 encoded, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
4273 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
4277 * Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
4278 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
4279 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
4280 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
4285 * Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
4286 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
4287 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
4288 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
4289 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
4290 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
4291 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
4292 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
4293 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
4294 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
4295 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4296 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
4301 * Document issue with installation paths in diverse Windows builds
4303 '/usr/local/ssl' is an unsafe prefix for location to install OpenSSL
4304 binaries and run-time config file.
4309 ### Changes between 1.0.2r and 1.0.2s [28 May 2019]
4311 * Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
4312 This changes the size when using the `genpkey` command when no size is given.
4313 It fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
4314 generation commands to use 2048 bits by default.
4318 * Add FIPS support for Android Arm 64-bit
4320 Support for Android Arm 64-bit was added to the OpenSSL FIPS Object
4321 Module in Version 2.0.10. For some reason, the corresponding target
4322 'android64-aarch64' was missing OpenSSL 1.0.2, whence it could not be
4323 built with FIPS support on Android Arm 64-bit. This omission has been
4326 *Matthias St. Pierre*
4328 ### Changes between 1.0.2q and 1.0.2r [26 Feb 2019]
4330 * 0-byte record padding oracle
4332 If an application encounters a fatal protocol error and then calls
4333 SSL_shutdown() twice (once to send a close_notify, and once to receive one)
4334 then OpenSSL can respond differently to the calling application if a 0 byte
4335 record is received with invalid padding compared to if a 0 byte record is
4336 received with an invalid MAC. If the application then behaves differently
4337 based on that in a way that is detectable to the remote peer, then this
4338 amounts to a padding oracle that could be used to decrypt data.
4340 In order for this to be exploitable "non-stitched" ciphersuites must be in
4341 use. Stitched ciphersuites are optimised implementations of certain
4342 commonly used ciphersuites. Also the application must call SSL_shutdown()
4343 twice even if a protocol error has occurred (applications should not do
4344 this but some do anyway).
4346 This issue was discovered by Juraj Somorovsky, Robert Merget and Nimrod
4347 Aviram, with additional investigation by Steven Collison and Andrew
4348 Hourselt. It was reported to OpenSSL on 10th December 2018.
4353 * Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
4357 ### Changes between 1.0.2p and 1.0.2q [20 Nov 2018]
4359 * Microarchitecture timing vulnerability in ECC scalar multiplication
4361 OpenSSL ECC scalar multiplication, used in e.g. ECDSA and ECDH, has been
4362 shown to be vulnerable to a microarchitecture timing side channel attack.
4363 An attacker with sufficient access to mount local timing attacks during
4364 ECDSA signature generation could recover the private key.
4366 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th October 2018 by Alejandro
4367 Cabrera Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Cesar Pereida Garcia and
4373 * Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
4375 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
4376 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
4377 algorithm to recover the private key.
4379 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
4384 * Resolve a compatibility issue in EC_GROUP handling with the FIPS Object
4385 Module, accidentally introduced while backporting security fixes from the
4386 development branch and hindering the use of ECC in FIPS mode.
4390 ### Changes between 1.0.2o and 1.0.2p [14 Aug 2018]
4392 * Client DoS due to large DH parameter
4394 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
4395 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
4396 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
4397 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
4398 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
4400 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
4405 * Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
4407 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
4408 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
4409 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
4410 recover the private key.
4412 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
4413 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
4418 * Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
4419 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
4420 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
4424 * Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
4425 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
4429 * Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
4430 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
4431 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
4432 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
4435 *Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar*
4437 * Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
4441 * Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
4442 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
4446 * When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
4447 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
4451 * Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
4452 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
4453 are no longer allowed.
4457 ### Changes between 1.0.2n and 1.0.2o [27 Mar 2018]
4459 * Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
4461 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
4462 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
4463 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
4464 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
4465 so this is considered safe.
4467 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
4473 ### Changes between 1.0.2m and 1.0.2n [7 Dec 2017]
4475 * Read/write after SSL object in error state
4477 OpenSSL 1.0.2 (starting from version 1.0.2b) introduced an "error state"
4478 mechanism. The intent was that if a fatal error occurred during a handshake
4479 then OpenSSL would move into the error state and would immediately fail if
4480 you attempted to continue the handshake. This works as designed for the
4481 explicit handshake functions (SSL_do_handshake(), SSL_accept() and
4482 SSL_connect()), however due to a bug it does not work correctly if
4483 SSL_read() or SSL_write() is called directly. In that scenario, if the
4484 handshake fails then a fatal error will be returned in the initial function
4485 call. If SSL_read()/SSL_write() is subsequently called by the application
4486 for the same SSL object then it will succeed and the data is passed without
4487 being decrypted/encrypted directly from the SSL/TLS record layer.
4489 In order to exploit this issue an application bug would have to be present
4490 that resulted in a call to SSL_read()/SSL_write() being issued after having
4491 already received a fatal error.
4493 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google).
4498 * rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
4500 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
4501 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
4502 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
4503 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
4504 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
4505 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
4506 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
4507 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
4508 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
4509 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
4511 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
4512 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
4514 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
4515 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
4520 ### Changes between 1.0.2l and 1.0.2m [2 Nov 2017]
4522 * bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
4524 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
4525 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
4526 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
4527 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
4528 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
4529 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
4530 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
4531 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
4532 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
4533 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
4534 key that is shared between multiple clients.
4536 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
4537 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
4539 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
4544 * Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
4546 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
4547 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
4548 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
4550 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
4554 ### Changes between 1.0.2k and 1.0.2l [25 May 2017]
4556 * Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
4557 platform rather than 'mingw'.
4561 ### Changes between 1.0.2j and 1.0.2k [26 Jan 2017]
4563 * Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
4565 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
4566 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
4567 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
4569 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
4574 * BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
4576 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
4577 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
4578 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
4579 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
4580 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
4581 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
4582 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
4583 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
4584 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
4585 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
4586 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
4587 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
4588 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
4590 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
4595 * Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
4597 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
4598 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
4599 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
4600 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
4601 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
4602 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
4603 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
4604 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
4605 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
4606 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
4607 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
4608 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
4609 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
4610 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
4612 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
4613 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
4614 providing reproducible case.
4619 * OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
4620 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
4621 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
4622 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
4626 ### Changes between 1.0.2i and 1.0.2j [26 Sep 2016]
4628 * Missing CRL sanity check
4630 A bug fix which included a CRL sanity check was added to OpenSSL 1.1.0
4631 but was omitted from OpenSSL 1.0.2i. As a result any attempt to use
4632 CRLs in OpenSSL 1.0.2i will crash with a null pointer exception.
4634 This issue only affects the OpenSSL 1.0.2i
4639 ### Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.0.2i [22 Sep 2016]
4641 * OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
4643 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
4644 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
4645 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
4646 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
4647 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
4648 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
4649 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
4651 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4656 * In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
4659 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
4665 * OOB write in MDC2_Update()
4667 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
4668 through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
4669 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
4670 call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
4671 can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
4673 The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
4676 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4681 * Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
4683 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
4684 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
4687 The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
4688 a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
4690 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4695 * OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
4697 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
4698 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
4699 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
4700 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
4701 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
4703 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4708 * OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
4710 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
4711 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
4712 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
4715 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4720 * Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
4722 Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
4724 A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
4727 Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
4730 "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
4733 The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
4734 defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is actually
4735 undefined behaviour.
4737 For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
4738 provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
4739 values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
4741 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
4746 * Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
4748 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
4749 order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
4750 implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
4751 certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
4752 attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
4754 This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
4755 (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
4756 Adelaide and NICTA).
4761 * DTLS buffered message DoS
4763 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
4764 those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
4765 for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
4766 those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
4767 has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
4768 remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
4769 be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
4770 a message is 100k. Therefore the attacker could force an additional 1500k
4771 to be consumed per connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an
4772 attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
4774 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
4779 * DTLS replay protection DoS
4781 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
4782 that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
4783 the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
4784 attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
4785 decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
4786 that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
4787 service for a specific DTLS connection.
4789 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
4794 * Certificate message OOB reads
4796 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
4797 in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
4798 theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
4801 The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
4802 and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
4803 against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
4805 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
4810 ### Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
4812 * Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
4814 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
4815 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
4818 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
4819 attack ([CVE-2013-0169]). The padding check was rewritten to be in
4820 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
4821 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
4822 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
4825 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
4829 * Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
4831 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
4832 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
4833 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
4836 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
4837 the `PEM_write_bio*` family of functions. These are mainly used within the
4838 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
4839 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
4840 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
4841 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
4843 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
4848 * Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
4850 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
4851 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
4852 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
4853 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
4854 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
4855 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
4856 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
4857 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
4858 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
4859 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
4860 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
4861 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
4862 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
4863 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
4864 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
4865 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
4867 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
4872 * Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
4874 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
4875 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
4876 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
4878 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
4879 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
4880 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
4881 applications are not affected.
4883 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
4890 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
4891 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
4892 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
4894 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
4899 * Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
4900 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
4904 * Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
4909 * Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
4910 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
4914 ### Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
4916 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
4917 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
4918 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
4922 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
4923 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
4924 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
4925 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
4926 will need to explicitly call either of:
4928 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
4930 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
4932 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
4933 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
4934 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
4935 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
4936 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
4941 * Fix a double-free in DSA code
4943 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
4944 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
4945 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
4948 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
4954 * Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
4956 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
4958 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
4959 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
4960 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
4963 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
4964 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
4965 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
4966 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
4967 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
4968 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
4969 that of a valid user.
4974 * Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
4976 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
4977 int value `i`. Later `bn_expand` is called with a value of `i * 4`. For
4978 large values of `i` this can result in `bn_expand` not allocating any
4979 memory because `i * 4` is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
4980 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
4981 of `i`, the calculation `i * 4` could be a positive value smaller than `i`.
4982 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
4983 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
4984 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
4985 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
4986 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
4988 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
4989 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
4990 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
4991 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
4992 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
4994 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
4999 * Fix memory issues in `BIO_*printf` functions
5001 The internal `fmtstr` function used in processing a "%s" format string in
5002 the `BIO_*printf` functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
5003 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
5005 Additionally the internal `doapr_outch` function can attempt to write to an
5006 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
5007 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
5008 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
5009 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
5012 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
5013 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
5014 is passed to the `BIO_*printf` functions. If applications use these functions
5015 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
5016 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
5017 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
5018 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
5019 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
5020 as command line arguments.
5022 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
5023 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
5024 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
5026 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
5031 * Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
5033 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
5034 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
5035 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
5036 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
5037 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
5039 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
5040 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
5041 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
5042 <http://cachebleed.info>.
5047 * Change the `req` command to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
5048 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
5049 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
5050 commands to use 2048 bits by default.
5054 ### Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
5056 * DH small subgroups
5058 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
5059 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
5060 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
5061 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
5062 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
5063 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
5064 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
5065 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
5066 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
5067 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
5069 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
5070 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
5071 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
5072 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
5073 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
5075 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
5076 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
5077 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
5078 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
5080 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
5081 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
5083 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
5088 * SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
5090 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
5091 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
5092 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
5095 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
5096 and Sebastian Schinzel.
5101 ### Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
5103 * BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
5105 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
5106 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
5107 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
5108 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
5109 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
5110 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
5111 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
5112 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
5113 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
5114 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
5115 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
5116 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
5118 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
5123 * Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
5125 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
5126 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
5127 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
5128 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
5129 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
5130 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
5131 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
5134 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
5139 * X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
5141 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
5142 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
5143 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
5144 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
5146 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
5152 * Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
5153 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
5154 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
5155 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
5159 * In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
5162 *Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>*
5164 ### Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
5166 * Alternate chains certificate forgery
5168 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
5169 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
5170 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
5171 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
5172 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
5173 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
5175 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
5180 ### Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
5182 * Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
5183 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
5188 ### Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
5190 * Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
5192 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
5193 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
5196 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
5197 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
5198 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
5199 client authentication enabled.
5201 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
5206 * Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
5208 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
5209 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
5210 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
5213 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
5214 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
5215 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
5216 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
5217 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
5220 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
5221 independently by Hanno Böck.
5226 * PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
5228 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
5229 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
5230 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
5232 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
5233 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
5234 servers are not affected.
5236 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
5241 * CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
5243 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
5244 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
5245 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
5247 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
5252 * Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
5254 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
5255 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
5256 a double free of the ticket data.
5261 * Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
5262 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
5263 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
5267 ### Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
5269 * ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
5271 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
5272 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
5273 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
5275 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
5279 *Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell*
5281 * Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
5283 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
5284 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
5285 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
5286 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
5287 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
5288 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
5289 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
5290 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
5292 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
5297 * Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
5299 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
5300 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
5301 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
5302 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
5303 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
5304 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
5305 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
5306 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
5309 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
5314 * Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
5316 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
5317 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
5318 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
5319 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
5320 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
5321 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
5326 * Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
5328 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
5329 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
5330 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
5331 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
5332 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
5333 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
5334 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
5336 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
5341 * ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
5343 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
5344 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
5345 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
5347 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
5348 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
5349 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
5355 * PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
5357 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
5358 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
5359 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
5361 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
5362 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
5363 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
5365 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
5370 * DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
5372 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
5373 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
5374 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
5376 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
5377 (OpenSSL development team).
5382 * Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
5384 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
5385 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
5386 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
5391 * Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
5393 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
5394 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
5395 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
5396 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
5397 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
5398 SSL_client_methodv23)
5399 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
5400 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
5402 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
5403 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
5404 output may be predictable.
5406 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
5407 succeed on an unpatched platform:
5409 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
5414 * Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
5416 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
5417 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
5418 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
5419 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
5420 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
5421 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
5423 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
5429 * X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
5431 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
5432 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
5434 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
5439 * Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
5443 ### Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
5445 * Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
5446 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
5447 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
5448 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
5449 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
5450 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
5454 * Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
5455 (other platforms pending).
5457 *Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov*
5459 * Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
5460 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
5464 * Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
5465 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
5466 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
5470 * Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
5471 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
5472 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
5473 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
5477 * Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
5479 *Marcelo Cerri (IBM)*
5481 * Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
5482 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
5483 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
5484 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
5486 *Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)*
5488 * Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
5492 * Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
5493 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
5494 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
5496 *Andy Polyakov, David Miller*
5498 * Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
5501 *Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)*
5503 * Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
5504 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
5505 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
5508 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
5512 * Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
5513 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
5514 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
5518 * Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
5519 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
5523 * Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
5524 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
5528 * Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
5529 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
5530 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
5531 algorithms and include tests cases.
5535 * Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
5538 *Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson*
5540 * New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
5541 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
5545 * Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
5546 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
5547 summary of the connection parameters.
5551 * New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
5552 of connection parameters.
5556 * Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
5558 *Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie*
5560 * New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
5561 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
5565 * New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
5569 * New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
5570 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
5574 * New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
5575 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
5579 * Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
5584 * Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
5585 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
5586 CRLs using the OCSP API.
5590 * Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
5594 * `SSL_CONF*` functions. These provide a common framework for application
5595 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
5599 * SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
5600 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
5601 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
5606 * New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
5607 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
5611 * New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
5616 * Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
5621 * New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
5622 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
5623 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
5624 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
5628 * New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
5629 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
5633 * Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
5634 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
5635 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
5640 * If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
5641 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
5642 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
5643 use the certificate.
5647 * If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
5651 * Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
5652 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
5653 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
5654 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
5655 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
5656 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
5657 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
5659 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
5660 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
5664 * New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
5665 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
5666 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
5670 * New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
5671 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
5672 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
5673 supported signature algorithms.
5677 * Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
5681 * Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
5682 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
5683 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
5684 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
5685 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
5686 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
5687 certificate and specify the whole chain.
5691 * Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
5692 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
5693 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
5694 to have similar checks in it.
5696 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
5697 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
5698 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
5699 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
5700 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
5704 * Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
5705 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
5706 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
5707 shared signature algorithms.
5711 * Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
5712 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
5717 * New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
5718 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
5719 it couldn't be removed.
5723 * Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
5724 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
5728 * Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
5729 functions. Add manual page.
5731 *Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)*
5733 * New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
5734 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
5739 * Fix OCSP checking.
5741 *Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie*
5743 * Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
5744 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
5745 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
5746 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
5751 * Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
5752 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
5756 * MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
5757 platform support for Linux and Android.
5761 * Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
5765 * Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
5766 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
5767 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
5768 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
5769 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
5773 * Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
5774 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
5775 the new parameter format automatically.
5779 * Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
5780 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
5784 * Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
5788 * Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
5789 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
5790 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
5791 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
5792 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
5796 * Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
5797 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
5798 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
5799 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
5800 to set list of supported curves.
5804 * New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
5805 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
5806 to print out received values.
5810 * Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
5811 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
5812 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
5816 * Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
5817 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
5821 * Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
5822 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
5826 * Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
5831 * New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
5833 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
5834 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
5835 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
5840 ### Changes between 1.0.1t and 1.0.1u [22 Sep 2016]
5842 * OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
5844 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
5845 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
5846 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
5847 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
5848 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
5849 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
5850 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
5852 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5857 * In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
5860 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
5866 * OOB write in MDC2_Update()
5868 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
5869 through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
5870 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
5871 call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
5872 can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
5874 The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
5877 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5882 * Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
5884 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
5885 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
5888 The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
5889 a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
5891 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5896 * OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
5898 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
5899 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
5900 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
5901 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
5902 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
5904 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5909 * OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
5911 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
5912 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
5913 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
5916 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
5921 * Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
5923 Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
5925 A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
5928 Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
5931 "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
5934 The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
5935 defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is actually
5936 undefined behaviour.
5938 For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
5939 provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
5940 values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
5942 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
5947 * Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
5949 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
5950 order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
5951 implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
5952 certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
5953 attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
5955 This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
5956 (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
5957 Adelaide and NICTA).
5962 * DTLS buffered message DoS
5964 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
5965 those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
5966 for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
5967 those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
5968 has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
5969 remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
5970 be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
5971 a message is 100k. Therefore the attacker could force an additional 1500k
5972 to be consumed per connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an
5973 attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
5975 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
5980 * DTLS replay protection DoS
5982 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
5983 that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
5984 the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
5985 attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
5986 decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
5987 that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
5988 service for a specific DTLS connection.
5990 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
5995 * Certificate message OOB reads
5997 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
5998 in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
5999 theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
6002 The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
6003 and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
6004 against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
6006 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
6011 ### Changes between 1.0.1s and 1.0.1t [3 May 2016]
6013 * Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
6015 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
6016 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
6019 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
6020 attack ([CVE-2013-0169]). The padding check was rewritten to be in
6021 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
6022 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
6023 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
6026 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
6031 * Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
6033 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
6034 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
6035 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
6038 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarly used by
6039 the `PEM_write_bio*` family of functions. These are mainly used within the
6040 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
6041 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
6042 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
6043 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
6045 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
6050 * Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
6052 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
6053 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
6054 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
6055 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
6056 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
6057 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
6058 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
6059 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
6060 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
6061 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
6062 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
6063 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
6064 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
6065 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
6066 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
6067 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
6069 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
6074 * Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
6076 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
6077 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
6078 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
6080 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
6081 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
6082 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
6083 applications are not affected.
6085 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
6092 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
6093 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
6094 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
6096 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
6101 * Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
6102 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
6106 * Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
6111 * Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
6112 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
6116 ### Changes between 1.0.1r and 1.0.1s [1 Mar 2016]
6118 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
6119 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
6120 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
6124 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
6125 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
6126 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
6127 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
6128 will need to explicitly call either of:
6130 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
6132 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
6134 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
6135 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
6136 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
6137 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
6138 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
6143 * Fix a double-free in DSA code
6145 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
6146 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
6147 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
6150 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
6156 * Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
6158 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
6160 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
6161 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
6162 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
6165 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
6166 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
6167 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
6168 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
6169 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
6170 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
6171 that of a valid user.
6176 * Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
6178 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
6179 int value `i`. Later `bn_expand` is called with a value of `i * 4`. For
6180 large values of `i` this can result in `bn_expand` not allocating any
6181 memory because `i * 4` is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
6182 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
6183 of `i`, the calculation `i * 4` could be a positive value smaller than `i`.
6184 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
6185 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
6186 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
6187 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
6188 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
6190 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
6191 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
6192 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
6193 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
6194 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
6196 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
6201 * Fix memory issues in `BIO_*printf` functions
6203 The internal `fmtstr` function used in processing a "%s" format string in
6204 the `BIO_*printf` functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
6205 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
6207 Additionally the internal `doapr_outch` function can attempt to write to an
6208 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
6209 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
6210 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
6211 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
6214 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
6215 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
6216 is passed to the `BIO_*printf` functions. If applications use these functions
6217 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
6218 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
6219 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
6220 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
6221 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
6222 as command line arguments.
6224 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
6225 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
6226 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
6228 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
6233 * Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
6235 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
6236 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
6237 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
6238 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
6239 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
6241 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
6242 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
6243 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
6244 <http://cachebleed.info>.
6249 * Change the req command to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
6250 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
6251 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
6252 commands to use 2048 bits by default.
6256 ### Changes between 1.0.1q and 1.0.1r [28 Jan 2016]
6258 * Protection for DH small subgroup attacks
6260 As a precautionary measure the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been
6261 switched on by default and cannot be disabled. This could have some
6266 * SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
6268 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
6269 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
6270 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
6273 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
6274 and Sebastian Schinzel.
6279 * Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024 bits.
6283 ### Changes between 1.0.1p and 1.0.1q [3 Dec 2015]
6285 * Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
6287 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
6288 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
6289 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
6290 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
6291 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
6292 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
6293 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
6296 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
6301 * X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
6303 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
6304 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
6305 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
6306 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
6308 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
6314 * Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
6315 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
6316 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
6317 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
6321 * In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
6322 use a random seed, as already documented.
6324 *Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>*
6326 ### Changes between 1.0.1o and 1.0.1p [9 Jul 2015]
6328 * Alternate chains certificate forgery
6330 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
6331 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
6332 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
6333 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
6334 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
6335 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
6337 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
6343 * Race condition handling PSK identify hint
6345 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
6346 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
6347 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
6353 ### Changes between 1.0.1n and 1.0.1o [12 Jun 2015]
6355 * Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
6356 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
6359 ### Changes between 1.0.1m and 1.0.1n [11 Jun 2015]
6361 * Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
6363 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
6364 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
6367 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
6368 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
6369 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
6370 client authentication enabled.
6372 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
6377 * Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
6379 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
6380 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
6381 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
6384 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
6385 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
6386 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
6387 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
6388 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
6391 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
6392 independently by Hanno Böck.
6397 * PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
6399 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
6400 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
6401 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
6403 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
6404 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
6405 servers are not affected.
6407 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
6412 * CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
6414 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
6415 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
6416 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
6418 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
6423 * Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
6425 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
6426 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
6427 a double free of the ticket data.
6432 * Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 768 bits.
6434 *Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper*
6436 * dhparam: generate 2048-bit parameters by default.
6438 *Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper*
6440 ### Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.1m [19 Mar 2015]
6442 * Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
6444 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
6445 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
6446 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
6447 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
6448 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
6449 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
6454 * ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
6456 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
6457 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
6458 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
6460 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
6461 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
6462 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
6468 * PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
6470 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
6471 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
6472 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
6474 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
6475 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
6476 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
6478 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
6483 * DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
6485 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
6486 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
6487 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
6489 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
6490 (OpenSSL development team).
6495 * Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
6497 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
6498 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
6499 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
6500 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
6501 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
6502 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
6504 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
6510 * X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
6512 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
6513 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
6515 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
6520 * Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
6524 ### Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
6526 * Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
6528 *Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte*
6530 ### Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
6532 * Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
6533 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
6534 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
6535 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
6540 * Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
6541 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
6542 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
6543 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
6544 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
6545 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
6550 * Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
6551 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
6552 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
6553 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
6558 * Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
6561 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
6562 reporting this issue.
6567 * Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
6568 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
6569 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
6570 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
6571 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
6572 INRIA or reporting this issue.
6577 * Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
6578 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
6579 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
6580 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
6581 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
6582 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
6583 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
6589 * Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
6590 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
6592 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
6593 and can vary with the CTX.
6597 * Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
6599 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
6600 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
6601 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
6602 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
6603 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
6605 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
6607 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
6608 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
6610 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
6612 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
6613 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
6614 errors for some broken certificates.
6616 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
6618 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
6620 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
6621 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
6623 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
6624 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
6625 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
6626 (negative or with leading zeroes).
6628 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
6629 of the OpenSSL core team.
6635 * Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
6636 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
6637 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
6638 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
6639 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
6640 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
6641 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
6642 the OpenSSL core team.
6647 * Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
6648 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
6649 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
6650 sanity and breaks all known clients.
6652 *David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper*
6654 * Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
6655 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
6656 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
6660 * Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
6661 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
6662 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
6663 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
6664 announced in the initial ServerHello.
6666 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
6667 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
6668 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
6672 ### Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
6676 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
6677 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
6678 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
6679 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
6680 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
6681 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
6682 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
6684 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
6689 * Session Ticket Memory Leak.
6691 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
6692 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
6693 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
6694 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
6695 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
6701 * Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
6703 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
6704 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
6705 configured to send them.
6708 *Akamai and the OpenSSL team*
6710 * Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
6711 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
6712 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
6715 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
6717 * Add additional DigestInfo checks.
6719 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
6720 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
6721 DigestInfo structures.
6723 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
6727 ### Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
6729 * Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
6730 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
6731 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
6733 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
6734 Group for discovering this issue.
6739 * A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
6740 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
6741 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
6742 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
6743 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
6745 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
6746 researching this issue.
6751 * OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
6752 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
6753 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
6754 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
6756 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
6762 * By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
6763 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
6764 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
6769 * An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
6770 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
6771 Denial of Service attack.
6772 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
6777 * An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
6778 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
6779 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
6780 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
6786 * If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
6787 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
6788 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
6790 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
6796 * A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
6797 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
6798 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
6799 Denial of Service attack.
6801 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
6802 discovering and researching this issue.
6807 * A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
6808 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
6809 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
6810 output to the attacker.
6812 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
6815 *Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson*
6817 * Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
6818 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
6819 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
6823 ### Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
6825 * Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
6826 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
6827 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
6829 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
6830 researching this issue. ([CVE-2014-0224])
6832 *KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson*
6834 * Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
6835 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
6838 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
6841 *Imre Rad, Steve Henson*
6843 * Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
6844 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
6845 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
6846 code on a vulnerable client or server.
6848 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. ([CVE-2014-0195])
6850 *Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson*
6852 * Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
6853 are subject to a denial of service attack.
6855 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
6856 this issue. ([CVE-2014-3470])
6858 *Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson*
6860 * Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
6863 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
6865 * Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
6866 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
6868 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
6870 * Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
6872 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
6874 ### Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
6876 * A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
6877 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
6880 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
6881 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
6882 preparing the fix ([CVE-2014-0160])
6884 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
6886 * Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
6887 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
6888 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
6889 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140>
6891 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
6892 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix ([CVE-2014-0076])
6894 *Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger*
6896 * TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
6898 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
6899 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
6900 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
6901 is at least 512 bytes long.
6903 *Adam Langley, Steve Henson*
6905 ### Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
6907 * Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
6908 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
6909 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
6912 * Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
6913 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
6914 to be resent. ([CVE-2013-6450])
6918 * Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
6919 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
6920 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
6921 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
6922 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
6923 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
6925 *Rob Stradling, Adam Langley*
6927 ### Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
6929 * Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
6930 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
6932 *Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
6934 ### Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
6936 * Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
6938 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
6939 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
6940 at: <http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/>
6942 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
6943 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
6944 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
6945 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
6948 *Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
6950 * Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
6951 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
6952 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
6953 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
6954 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
6959 * Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
6960 This fixes a DoS attack. ([CVE-2013-0166])
6964 * Make openssl verify return errors.
6966 *Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie*
6968 * Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
6969 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
6970 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
6971 See <http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836>.
6973 *Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>*
6975 * Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
6979 * Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
6984 ### Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
6986 * Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
6987 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
6989 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
6990 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
6995 * Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
6996 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
7000 * In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
7005 ### Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
7007 * OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
7008 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
7009 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
7010 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
7011 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
7012 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
7013 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
7014 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
7015 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
7016 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
7020 * In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
7021 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
7022 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
7023 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
7024 above, it's not sufficient to pass `SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1`, one has to pass
7025 `SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2`. This applies to
7030 ### Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
7032 * Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
7033 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
7034 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
7036 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
7037 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
7040 *Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team*
7042 * Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
7046 * Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
7047 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
7049 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
7050 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
7051 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
7052 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
7053 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
7054 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
7055 Most broken servers should now work.
7056 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
7057 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
7061 * Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
7065 ### Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
7067 * Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
7068 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
7072 * The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
7073 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
7074 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
7075 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
7076 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
7080 * Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
7081 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
7082 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
7083 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
7084 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
7088 * Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
7090 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>*
7092 * Add support for SCTP.
7094 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>*
7096 * Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
7098 *Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>*
7100 * Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
7102 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
7103 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
7104 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
7105 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
7106 - s390x: z196 support;
7107 - `*`: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
7111 * Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
7112 (removal of unnecessary code)
7114 *Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>*
7116 * Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
7120 * Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
7124 * Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
7125 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00>. Can be
7126 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
7129 *Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie*
7131 * Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
7132 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
7133 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type `__uint128_t` is
7134 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
7135 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
7137 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
7138 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
7139 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
7141 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
7142 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
7143 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
7145 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
7146 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
7149 *Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)*
7151 * Use type ossl_ssize_t instead of ssize_t which isn't available on
7152 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
7153 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
7157 * New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
7158 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
7163 * Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
7164 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
7165 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
7169 * Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
7170 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
7171 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
7172 the appropriate parameters.
7176 * Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
7177 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
7178 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
7179 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
7180 against a number of sample certificates.
7184 * Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
7186 *Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>*
7188 * Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
7189 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
7191 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
7192 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
7197 * Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
7202 * Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
7203 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
7204 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
7205 password based CMS).
7209 * Session-handling fixes:
7210 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
7211 but also support Session Tickets.
7212 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
7213 presented a ticket with an expired session.
7214 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
7215 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
7216 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
7218 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)*
7220 * Fix PSK session representation.
7224 * Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
7226 This work was sponsored by Intel.
7230 * Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
7231 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
7232 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
7233 RFC5289. Generalise some `AES*` cipherstrings to include GCM and
7234 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
7238 * Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
7239 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
7243 * Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
7244 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
7245 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
7249 * For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
7250 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
7251 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
7252 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
7256 * Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
7257 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
7258 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
7262 * Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
7264 *Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson*
7266 * Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
7270 * Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
7271 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
7275 * New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
7279 * Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
7280 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
7284 * Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
7285 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
7289 * Add similar low-level API blocking to ciphers.
7293 * low-level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
7294 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
7295 to use them can use the `private_*` version instead.
7299 * Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
7303 * Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
7307 * Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
7308 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
7312 * Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
7313 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
7314 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
7318 * Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
7322 * Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
7327 * Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
7328 FIPS modules versions.
7332 * Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
7333 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
7334 until after the certificate request message is received.
7338 * Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
7339 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
7340 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
7341 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
7345 * Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
7346 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
7347 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
7348 support yet and no support for client certificates.
7352 * Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
7353 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
7354 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
7355 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
7356 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
7357 and version checking.
7361 * New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
7362 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
7363 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
7364 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
7368 * A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
7369 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
7370 *Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
7371 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
7374 * Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
7378 * Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
7379 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
7381 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>*
7383 * Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
7384 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
7385 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
7389 * Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
7391 *Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson*
7393 * Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
7394 a few changes are required:
7396 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
7397 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
7398 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
7399 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
7400 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
7407 ### Changes between 1.0.0s and 1.0.0t [3 Dec 2015]
7409 * X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
7411 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
7412 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
7413 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
7414 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
7416 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
7422 * Race condition handling PSK identify hint
7424 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
7425 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
7426 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
7432 ### Changes between 1.0.0r and 1.0.0s [11 Jun 2015]
7434 * Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
7436 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
7437 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
7440 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
7441 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
7442 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
7443 client authentication enabled.
7445 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
7450 * Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
7452 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
7453 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
7454 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
7457 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
7458 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
7459 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
7460 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
7461 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
7464 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
7465 independently by Hanno Böck.
7470 * PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
7472 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
7473 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
7474 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
7476 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
7477 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
7478 servers are not affected.
7480 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
7485 * CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
7487 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
7488 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
7489 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
7491 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
7496 * Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
7498 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
7499 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
7500 a double free of the ticket data.
7505 ### Changes between 1.0.0q and 1.0.0r [19 Mar 2015]
7507 * Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
7509 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
7510 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
7511 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
7512 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
7513 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
7514 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
7519 * ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
7521 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
7522 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
7523 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
7525 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
7526 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
7527 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
7533 * PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
7535 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
7536 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
7537 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
7539 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
7540 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
7541 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
7543 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
7548 * DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
7550 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
7551 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
7552 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
7554 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
7555 (OpenSSL development team).
7560 * Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
7562 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
7563 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
7564 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
7565 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
7566 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
7567 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
7569 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
7575 * X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
7577 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
7578 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
7580 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
7585 * Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
7589 ### Changes between 1.0.0p and 1.0.0q [15 Jan 2015]
7591 * Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
7593 *Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte*
7595 ### Changes between 1.0.0o and 1.0.0p [8 Jan 2015]
7597 * Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
7598 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
7599 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
7600 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
7605 * Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
7606 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
7607 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
7608 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
7609 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
7610 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
7615 * Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
7616 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
7617 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
7618 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
7623 * Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
7626 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
7627 reporting this issue.
7632 * Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
7633 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
7634 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
7635 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
7636 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
7637 INRIA or reporting this issue.
7642 * Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
7643 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
7644 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
7645 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
7646 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
7647 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
7648 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
7654 * Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
7655 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
7656 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
7657 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
7658 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
7659 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
7660 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
7661 the OpenSSL core team.
7666 * Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
7668 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
7669 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
7670 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
7671 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
7672 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
7674 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
7676 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
7677 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
7679 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
7681 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
7682 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
7683 errors for some broken certificates.
7685 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
7687 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
7689 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
7690 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
7692 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
7693 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
7694 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
7695 (negative or with leading zeroes).
7697 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
7698 of the OpenSSL core team.
7704 ### Changes between 1.0.0n and 1.0.0o [15 Oct 2014]
7706 * Session Ticket Memory Leak.
7708 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
7709 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
7710 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
7711 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
7712 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
7718 * Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
7720 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
7721 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
7722 configured to send them.
7725 *Akamai and the OpenSSL team*
7727 * Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
7728 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
7729 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
7732 *Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller*
7734 * Add additional DigestInfo checks.
7736 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
7737 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
7738 DigestInfo structures.
7740 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
7744 ### Changes between 1.0.0m and 1.0.0n [6 Aug 2014]
7746 * OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
7747 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
7748 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
7749 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
7751 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
7757 * By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
7758 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
7759 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
7764 * An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
7765 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
7766 Denial of Service attack.
7767 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
7772 * An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
7773 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
7774 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
7775 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
7781 * If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
7782 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
7783 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
7785 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
7791 * A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
7792 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
7793 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
7794 output to the attacker.
7796 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
7799 *Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson*
7801 * Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
7802 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
7803 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
7807 ### Changes between 1.0.0l and 1.0.0m [5 Jun 2014]
7809 * Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
7810 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
7811 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
7813 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
7814 researching this issue. ([CVE-2014-0224])
7816 *KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson*
7818 * Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
7819 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
7822 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
7825 *Imre Rad, Steve Henson*
7827 * Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
7828 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
7829 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
7830 code on a vulnerable client or server.
7832 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. ([CVE-2014-0195])
7834 *Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson*
7836 * Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
7837 are subject to a denial of service attack.
7839 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
7840 this issue. ([CVE-2014-3470])
7842 *Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson*
7844 * Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
7847 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
7849 * Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
7850 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
7852 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
7854 * Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
7856 *mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>*
7858 * Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
7859 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
7860 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
7861 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140>
7863 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
7864 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix ([CVE-2014-0076])
7866 *Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger*
7868 ### Changes between 1.0.0k and 1.0.0l [6 Jan 2014]
7870 * Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
7871 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
7872 to be resent. ([CVE-2013-6450])
7876 * Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
7877 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
7878 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
7879 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
7880 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
7881 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
7883 *Rob Stradling, Adam Langley*
7885 ### Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
7887 * Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
7889 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
7890 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
7891 at: <http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/>
7893 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
7894 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
7895 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
7896 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
7899 *Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
7901 * Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
7902 This fixes a DoS attack. ([CVE-2013-0166])
7906 * Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
7907 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
7908 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
7909 See <http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836>.
7910 (This is a backport)
7912 *Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>*
7914 * Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
7918 ### Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
7920 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
7923 * Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
7926 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
7927 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
7932 * Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
7933 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
7937 ### Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
7939 * Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
7940 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
7941 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
7943 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
7944 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
7947 *Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team*
7949 ### Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
7951 * Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
7952 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
7953 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
7954 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
7955 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
7956 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
7957 an MMA defence is not necessary.
7958 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
7959 this issue. ([CVE-2012-0884])
7963 * Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
7964 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
7965 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
7969 ### Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
7971 * Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
7972 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
7973 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
7974 preparing a fix. ([CVE-2012-0050])
7978 ### Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
7980 * Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
7981 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
7982 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
7983 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
7984 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
7985 paper describing this attack can be found at:
7986 <http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf>
7987 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
7988 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
7989 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
7990 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
7991 for preparing the fix. ([CVE-2011-4108])
7993 *Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen*
7995 * Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
7998 *Adam Langley (Google)*
8000 * Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
8001 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
8002 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. ([CVE-2011-4619])

8006 * Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. ([CVE-2012-0027])
8008 *Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>*
8010 * Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
8011 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
8012 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. ([CVE-2011-4577])
8014 *Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>*
8016 * Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
8018 *Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>*
8020 * Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
8022 *Adam Langley (Google)*
8024 * Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
8026 *Emilia Käsper (Google)*
8028 * Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
8029 interpretations of the `..._len` fields).
8031 *Adam Langley (Google)*
8033 * Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
8034 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
8035 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
8037 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
8038 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
8039 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
8040 the last update always remained unused).
8042 *Emilia Käsper (Google)*
8044 * In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
8046 *Bob Buckholz (Google)*
8048 ### Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
8050 * Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
8051 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. ([CVE-2011-3207])
8053 *Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>*
8055 * Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
8056 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. ([CVE-2011-3210])
8058 *Adam Langley (Google)*
8060 * Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
8064 * Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
8065 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
8066 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
8070 * Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
8071 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
8072 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf>
8074 *Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri*
8076 ### Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
8078 * Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
8080 *Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)*
8082 * Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
8083 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
8088 ### Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
8090 * Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
8091 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
8092 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
8096 * Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
8097 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
8098 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
8102 ### Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
8104 * Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
8105 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
8106 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
8110 * Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
8115 ### Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
8117 * Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
8120 *Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>*
8122 ### Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
8124 * Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
8125 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
8126 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
8130 * Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
8134 * Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
8135 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
8137 *Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>*
8139 * Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
8140 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
8141 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
8145 * Add load_crls() function to commands tidying load_certs() too. Add option
8146 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
8150 * Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
8151 some responders need this.
8155 * The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
8158 *Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>*
8160 * Update verify callback code in `apps/s_cb.c` and `apps/verify.c`, it
8161 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
8162 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
8166 * Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
8170 * In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
8171 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
8172 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
8173 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
8174 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
8175 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
8176 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
8177 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
8181 * Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
8182 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
8183 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
8185 *Guenter <lists@gknw.net>*
8187 * Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
8189 *Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>*
8191 * Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
8196 * Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
8197 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
8198 `EVP_MD_do_all*()` and `EVP_CIPHER_do_all*()` to include the name a digest
8199 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
8200 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
8201 attempting to work them out.
8205 * If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
8206 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
8207 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
8208 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
8212 * Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
8213 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
8214 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
8215 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
8216 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
8220 * Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
8221 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
8228 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
8230 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
8234 * Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
8236 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>*
8238 * Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
8240 *Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson*
8242 * Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
8243 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
8244 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
8245 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
8246 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
8250 * Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
8251 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
8252 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
8256 * Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
8257 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
8261 * Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
8263 *Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>*
8265 * Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
8266 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
8270 * Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
8274 * Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
8275 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
8276 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
8281 * New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
8282 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
8283 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
8284 as the year 2038 bug. New `*_adj()` functions for ASN1 time structures
8285 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
8286 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
8290 * Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
8291 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
8293 This work was sponsored by Google.
8297 * Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
8298 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
8299 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
8300 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
8301 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
8302 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
8303 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
8306 This work was sponsored by Google.
8310 * Support for freshest CRL extension.
8312 This work was sponsored by Google.
8316 * Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
8317 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
8318 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
8319 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
8321 This work was sponsored by Google.
8325 * Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
8326 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
8327 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
8328 CRL functionality in future.
8330 This work was sponsored by Google.
8334 * Add support for policy mappings extension.
8336 This work was sponsored by Google.
8340 * Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
8341 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
8343 This work was sponsored by Google.
8347 * Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
8348 and URI types are currently supported.
8350 This work was sponsored by Google.
8354 * To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
8355 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
8356 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
8357 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
8358 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
8359 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
8360 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
8361 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
8363 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
8364 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
8365 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
8367 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
8368 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
8369 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
8370 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
8372 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
8373 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
8374 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
8375 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
8376 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
8377 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
8378 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
8379 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
8382 *Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller*
8384 * Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
8385 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
8386 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
8388 This work was sponsored by Google.
8392 * Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
8396 * Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
8397 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
8398 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
8402 * Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
8403 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
8407 * Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
8408 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
8412 * Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
8413 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
8414 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
8415 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
8416 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
8417 content types and variants.
8421 * Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
8425 * Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
8426 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
8427 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
8428 files from the associated perl scripts.
8432 * Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
8433 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
8435 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>*
8437 * s390x assembler pack.
8441 * ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
8446 * Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
8447 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
8448 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
8449 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
8450 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
8451 to use. For example, specify an option
8453 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
8455 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
8456 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
8457 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
8458 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
8459 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
8460 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
8462 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
8463 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
8464 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
8465 return non-zero for success.
8467 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
8470 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
8471 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
8475 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
8478 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
8479 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
8480 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
8481 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
8482 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
8483 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
8484 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
8485 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
8486 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
8488 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
8489 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
8490 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
8491 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
8492 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
8493 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
8495 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
8496 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
8497 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
8498 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
8499 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
8500 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
8504 * Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
8507 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>*
8509 * Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
8510 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
8511 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
8514 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
8515 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
8518 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
8519 protection in servers so again support should be possible
8520 with no application modification.
8522 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
8523 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
8525 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
8526 or server extensions to be examined.
8528 This work was sponsored by Google.
8532 * Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
8533 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
8535 *Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson*
8537 * Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
8538 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
8539 ciphersuite support.
8541 *Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson*
8543 * Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
8544 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
8545 to output in BER and PEM format.
8549 * Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
8550 allows HMAC to be handled via the `EVP_DigestSign*()` interface. The
8551 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
8552 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
8553 -macopt options to dgst utility.
8557 * New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
8558 `EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*`. These two changes make it possible to use
8559 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
8564 * Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
8565 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
8566 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
8567 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
8568 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
8569 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
8570 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
8571 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
8574 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
8575 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
8576 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
8577 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
8579 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
8580 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
8581 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
8586 * Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
8587 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
8588 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
8589 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
8590 remains equivalent to `"AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH"`.
8591 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
8592 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
8593 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
8595 *Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni*
8597 * Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
8598 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
8599 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
8600 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
8601 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
8602 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
8603 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
8604 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
8605 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
8606 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
8607 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
8610 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
8611 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
8612 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
8614 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
8615 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
8620 * Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
8621 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
8622 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
8626 * Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
8627 it yet and it is largely untested.
8631 * Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
8635 * Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
8636 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
8637 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
8641 * Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
8645 * Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
8646 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
8647 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
8648 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
8652 * Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
8653 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
8654 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
8655 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
8656 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
8660 * GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
8661 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
8665 * Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
8666 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
8667 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
8668 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
8672 * New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
8673 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
8674 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
8675 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
8679 * Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
8680 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
8684 * New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
8685 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
8686 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
8687 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
8691 * Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
8692 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
8693 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
8697 * Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
8702 * Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
8703 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
8707 * During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
8708 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
8709 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
8714 * New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
8715 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
8716 to free up any added signature OIDs.
8720 * New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
8721 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
8722 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
8723 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
8727 * Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
8728 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
8729 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
8730 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
8731 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
8732 the array representation useful in a more general context.
8736 * Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
8737 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
8738 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
8739 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
8740 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
8742 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
8743 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
8744 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
8745 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
8746 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
8749 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
8750 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
8751 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
8752 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
8754 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
8755 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
8756 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
8757 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
8758 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
8764 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
8765 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
8769 * Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
8770 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
8774 * Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
8775 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
8779 * Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
8780 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
8781 functional reference processing.
8785 * New functions `EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*`. These are enhanced versions of
8786 `EVP_{Sign,Verify}*` which allow an application to customise the signature
8791 * New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
8792 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
8793 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
8797 * Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
8798 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
8799 application to support multiple signers.
8803 * New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
8808 * Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
8809 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
8810 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
8811 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
8812 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
8816 * Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
8821 * Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
8822 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
8823 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
8824 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
8829 * Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
8830 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
8831 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
8832 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
8833 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
8834 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
8835 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
8836 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
8840 * Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
8841 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
8842 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
8843 between digests and public key types.
8847 * Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
8848 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
8849 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
8850 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
8854 * Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
8855 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
8860 * Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
8864 * Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
8869 * Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
8870 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
8871 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
8872 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
8879 *Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>*
8881 * New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
8884 *Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>*
8886 * New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
8887 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
8888 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
8889 functionality for RSA.
8893 * Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
8894 functions `EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}` have been renamed to
8895 `EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old`.
8899 * Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
8900 key API, doesn't do much yet.
8904 * New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
8905 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
8906 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
8910 * Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
8911 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
8915 * Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
8916 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
8920 * New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
8921 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
8926 * Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
8927 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
8928 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
8933 * Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
8934 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
8935 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
8936 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
8937 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
8938 of public and private key structures.
8942 * Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
8943 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
8947 * Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
8948 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
8949 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
8952 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
8956 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
8957 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
8958 SSL_get_psk_identity
8959 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
8961 *Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation*
8963 * Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
8964 and response verification functionality.
8966 *Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project*
8968 * Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
8969 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
8970 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
8971 additional member `SSL_CTX *initial_ctx` so that new sessions can be
8972 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
8973 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
8974 server_name extension.
8976 New functions (subject to change):
8978 SSL_get_servername()
8979 SSL_get_servername_type()
8982 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
8984 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
8985 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
8986 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
8987 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
8988 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
8990 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
8992 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
8993 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
8994 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
8995 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
8996 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
8997 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
9000 *Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou*
9002 * Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
9006 * BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
9007 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
9008 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
9009 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
9010 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
9014 * Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
9015 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
9020 * New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
9021 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
9022 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
9023 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
9027 * New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
9028 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
9029 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
9030 using the maximum available value.
9034 * New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
9035 in addition to the text details.
9039 * Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
9040 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
9041 handle several customised structures at all.
9045 * Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
9046 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
9047 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
9051 * Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
9055 * Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
9056 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
9057 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
9061 * Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
9062 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
9063 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
9067 * Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
9068 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
9073 * Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
9077 * Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
9084 ### Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
9086 * When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
9087 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
9088 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
9089 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
9090 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
9091 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
9092 protection is active. ([CVE-2010-0740])
9094 *Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>*
9096 * Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
9097 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
9099 *Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>*
9101 ### Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
9103 * Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. ([CVE-2009-3245])
9105 *Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta*
9107 * Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
9108 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
9112 * On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
9113 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
9114 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
9118 * The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
9119 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
9120 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
9121 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
9122 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
9123 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
9127 * Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
9128 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
9129 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
9133 * Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
9134 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
9135 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
9136 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
9137 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
9138 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
9143 * Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
9144 change when encrypting or decrypting.
9148 * Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
9149 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
9150 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
9154 * Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
9158 * If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
9159 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
9160 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
9161 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
9162 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
9163 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
9164 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
9165 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
9166 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
9170 * Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
9171 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
9172 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
9176 * Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
9177 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
9181 * Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
9182 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
9183 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
9184 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
9185 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
9186 know what you are doing.
9188 *Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson*
9190 * Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
9191 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
9192 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
9193 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
9194 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
9195 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
9200 * The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
9201 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
9202 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
9205 *Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>*
9207 * Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
9208 warnings in other configurations.
9212 * Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
9213 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
9214 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
9217 *Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley*
9219 * Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
9220 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
9222 *Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky*
9224 * Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
9225 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
9226 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
9227 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
9231 * Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
9236 * Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
9237 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
9240 *Guenter <lists@gknw.net>*
9242 * Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
9243 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
9244 other than a simple chain.
9246 *David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson*
9248 * Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
9249 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
9250 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
9251 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
9255 * In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
9256 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
9257 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
9258 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
9259 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
9260 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
9261 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
9262 buffered. ([CVE-2009-1378])
9264 *Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz*
9266 * Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
9267 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
9268 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
9269 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
9270 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
9271 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
9274 *Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz*
9276 * Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
9277 parent structure is freed. ([CVE-2009-1379])
9281 * Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
9283 *Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>*
9285 * Add `2.5.4.*` OIDs
9287 *Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>*
9289 ### Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
9291 * Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
9292 problem ([CVE-2009-3555]) at the cost of breaking all
9293 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
9294 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
9295 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
9300 ### Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
9302 * Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
9303 underlying code. If `sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long)` this can result in
9304 zeroing past the valid field. ([CVE-2009-0789])
9306 *Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>*
9308 * Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
9309 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
9310 appear to verify correctly. ([CVE-2009-0591])
9312 *Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>*
9314 * Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
9315 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
9316 a legal length. ([CVE-2009-0590])
9320 * Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
9321 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
9326 * Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
9327 to handle some structures.
9331 * Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
9334 *Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>*
9336 * New -hex option for openssl rand.
9340 * Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
9344 * Support NumericString type for name components.
9348 * Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
9349 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
9354 ### Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
9356 * Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
9359 *Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team*
9361 * Enable TLS extensions by default.
9365 * Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
9366 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
9367 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
9369 *Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>*
9371 * Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
9373 *Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger*
9375 * Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
9376 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
9380 * Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
9381 s_client and s_server.
9385 * Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
9387 *Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>*
9389 * Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
9391 *Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>*
9393 * Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
9394 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
9395 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
9396 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
9397 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
9401 ### Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
9403 * Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
9404 ChangeCipherSpec as first record ([CVE-2009-1386]).
9408 * Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
9409 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be `..._ST_SW_SRVR_...`).
9413 * The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
9414 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
9415 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
9416 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
9418 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
9419 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
9421 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder*
9423 * Various precautionary measures:
9425 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
9427 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
9428 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
9429 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
9431 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
9432 outside the expected range.
9434 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
9437 *Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller*
9439 * Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
9440 the load fails. Useful for distros.
9442 *Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team*
9444 * Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
9448 * Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
9452 * Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
9454 This work was sponsored by Logica.
9458 * Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
9459 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
9460 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
9462 This work was sponsored by Logica.
9466 * Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
9467 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
9468 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
9473 ### Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
9475 * Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
9476 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
9477 Codenomicon TLS test suite ([CVE-2008-1672])
9479 *Steve Henson, Mark Cox*
9481 * Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
9482 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite ([CVE-2008-0891])
9486 * Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
9488 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
9489 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
9491 *Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo*
9493 * Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
9495 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
9496 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
9497 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
9498 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
9502 * RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
9503 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
9504 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
9505 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
9506 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
9507 invalid read after the end of 'db').
9509 *Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>*
9511 * Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
9513 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
9514 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
9515 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
9516 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
9517 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
9519 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
9520 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
9522 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
9523 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
9524 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
9525 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
9526 e.g. x86_64, try `-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD`.)
9528 *Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)*
9530 * Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
9531 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
9532 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
9533 sets may exist with different names.
9537 * Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
9538 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
9539 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
9540 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
9541 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
9542 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
9543 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
9544 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
9545 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
9548 *Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)*
9550 * Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
9551 implementation in the following ways:
9553 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
9556 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
9557 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
9558 ignored for embedded content.
9560 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
9561 with the enable-cms configuration option.
9565 * Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
9566 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
9567 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
9569 *Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>*
9571 * Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
9572 uncompresses any data passed through it.
9576 * Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
9577 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
9581 * Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
9582 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
9583 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
9584 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
9585 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
9586 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
9591 * Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
9592 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
9594 *Bodo Moeller (Google)*
9598 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
9599 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
9600 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
9601 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
9602 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
9603 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
9604 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
9605 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
9607 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
9608 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
9609 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
9610 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
9611 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
9612 - fixed order of includes in `apps/ocsp.c` so that `e_os.h` settings apply
9614 *Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>*
9616 * Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
9617 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
9618 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
9619 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
9620 to s_client and s_server.
9624 ### Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
9627 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
9628 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
9629 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
9630 + Fix ia64 assembler code
9632 *Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson*
9634 ### Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
9636 * DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
9637 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
9638 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
9639 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
9640 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
9641 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
9642 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
9643 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
9647 * Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
9648 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
9649 *Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
9652 * Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
9653 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
9654 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
9657 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
9658 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
9661 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
9662 protection in servers so again support should be possible
9663 with no application modification.
9665 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
9666 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
9668 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
9669 or server extensions to be examined.
9671 This work was sponsored by Google.
9675 * Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
9676 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
9677 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
9678 additional member `SSL_CTX *initial_ctx` so that new sessions can be
9679 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
9680 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
9681 server_name extension.
9683 New functions (subject to change):
9685 SSL_get_servername()
9686 SSL_get_servername_type()
9689 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
9691 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
9692 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
9693 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
9694 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
9695 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
9697 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
9699 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
9700 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
9701 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
9702 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
9703 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
9704 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
9707 *Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson*
9709 * Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
9713 * Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
9717 * Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
9718 (which previously caused an internal error).
9722 * Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
9726 * AES IGE mode speedup.
9728 *Dean Gaudet (Google)*
9730 * Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
9731 <http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp>) and
9732 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
9734 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
9735 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
9736 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
9737 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
9739 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
9740 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
9741 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
9743 *KISA, Bodo Moeller*
9745 * Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
9746 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
9747 information. For detailed background information, see
9748 <http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039> (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
9749 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
9750 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
9751 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
9752 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
9753 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
9754 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
9755 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
9756 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
9757 remove a conditional branch.
9759 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
9760 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
9761 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
9762 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
9763 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
9764 remains as a deprecated alias.
9766 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
9767 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
9768 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
9769 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
9771 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
9772 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
9773 modulus. This means that the previous `BIGNUM *m` argument to
9774 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
9775 essentially becomes `const BIGNUM *m`, although we can't actually
9776 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
9777 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
9778 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
9780 *Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)*
9782 * In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
9783 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
9784 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
9785 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
9786 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
9787 with applications using a single external cache for quite
9788 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
9789 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
9790 in a different context.
9794 * Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
9795 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
9796 authentication-only ciphersuites.
9800 * Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
9801 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
9802 ([CVE-2007-5135]) [Ben Laurie]
9804 ### Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
9806 * Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
9807 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
9808 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
9809 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
9810 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
9814 * Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
9815 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
9816 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
9817 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
9818 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
9819 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
9823 * Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
9824 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
9825 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
9826 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
9827 message has informed the client about his choice.)
9831 * Add RFC 3779 support.
9833 *Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie*
9835 * Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
9836 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
9837 Improve header file function name parsing.
9841 * extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
9842 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
9846 ### Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
9848 * Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
9849 cause a denial of service. ([CVE-2006-2940])
9851 *Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller*
9853 * Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
9854 in a denial of service. ([CVE-2006-2937]) [Steve Henson]
9856 * Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
9857 ([CVE-2006-3738]) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
9859 * Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
9860 malicious SSLv2 server. ([CVE-2006-4343])
9862 *Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team*
9864 * Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
9865 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
9866 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
9867 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
9868 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
9869 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
9870 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
9871 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
9872 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
9874 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
9875 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
9876 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
9877 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
9878 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
9880 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
9881 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
9882 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
9883 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
9884 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
9885 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
9886 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
9887 multiple values to extend the available space.
9891 ### Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
9893 * Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
9894 ([CVE-2006-4339]) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
9896 * Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
9900 * Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
9901 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
9902 undesirable limitations.
9904 *Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller*
9906 * Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
9907 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
9908 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
9909 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
9910 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
9911 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
9912 to avoid potential handshake problems.
9916 * Disable rogue ciphersuites:
9918 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
9919 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
9920 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
9922 The latter two were purportedly from
9923 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
9926 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
9927 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
9928 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
9932 * Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
9933 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
9937 * Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
9938 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
9939 (see <http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html>).
9940 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
9942 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
9943 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
9944 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
9948 * Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
9949 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
9950 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
9951 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
9952 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
9953 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
9957 ### Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
9959 * When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
9960 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
9964 * Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
9966 *Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>*
9968 * Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
9969 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
9970 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
9971 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
9975 * New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
9976 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
9980 * Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
9981 "zlib1.dll" and use the default `__cdecl` calling convention on Win32
9982 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
9983 <http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt>
9984 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
9985 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
9986 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
9991 * Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
9992 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
9993 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
9994 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
9998 * Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
9999 under VC++ build system.
10003 * Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
10004 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
10008 ### Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
10010 * Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
10011 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
10012 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
10013 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
10014 idea. ([CVE-2005-2969])
10016 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
10017 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
10018 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)*
10020 * Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
10024 * Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
10025 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
10029 * Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
10031 *Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie*
10033 * Add functions for well-known primes.
10037 * Extended Windows CE support.
10039 *Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov*
10041 * Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
10042 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
10046 * Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
10047 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
10052 ### Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
10054 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
10057 * Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
10061 * Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
10062 key into the same file any more.
10066 * Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
10070 * Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
10072 *Stefan <stf@udoma.org*
10074 * Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
10075 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
10079 * Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
10080 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
10081 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
10082 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
10083 this only applies when building 'shared'.
10085 *Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe*
10087 * Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
10088 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
10089 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
10093 * Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
10094 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
10095 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
10096 - add new function for parameter creation
10097 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
10098 BN_BLINDING parameters
10099 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
10100 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
10101 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
10106 * Add support for DTLS.
10108 *Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie*
10110 * Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
10111 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
10115 * Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
10116 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
10120 * Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
10121 the `apps/openssl` commands.
10125 * Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
10126 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
10127 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
10131 * Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
10132 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
10134 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
10135 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
10137 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
10138 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
10139 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
10140 avoid this algorithm.)
10144 * Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
10145 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
10146 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
10150 * RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
10151 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
10155 * New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
10156 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
10157 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
10160 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
10162 The blank line is mandatory.
10166 * New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
10167 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
10172 * New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
10173 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
10175 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
10176 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
10177 to support policy checking and print out.
10181 * Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
10182 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
10183 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
10185 *Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov*
10187 * Deprecate `BN_[get|set]_params()` functions (they were ignored internally).
10191 * New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
10193 *Andy Polyakov and a number of other people*
10195 * Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
10196 implementation contributed by IBM.
10198 *Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov*
10200 * The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
10201 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
10202 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
10204 *Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe*
10206 * Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
10207 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
10209 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
10210 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
10211 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
10212 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
10213 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
10214 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
10218 * Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
10219 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
10220 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
10221 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
10222 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
10223 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
10224 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
10228 * New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
10232 * Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
10233 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
10234 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
10235 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
10236 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
10237 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
10238 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
10239 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
10243 * Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
10244 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
10245 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
10246 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
10250 * Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
10253 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
10257 * Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
10258 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
10259 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
10260 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
10261 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
10262 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
10263 BN_CTX's "bundling".
10267 * Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
10268 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
10272 * Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
10273 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
10274 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
10278 * bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
10279 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
10280 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
10285 * Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
10286 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
10290 * BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
10291 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
10292 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
10293 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
10297 * BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
10298 initialised value as BN_new().
10300 *Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller*
10302 * Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
10306 * An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
10307 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
10308 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
10309 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
10310 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
10311 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
10312 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
10313 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
10314 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
10315 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
10316 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
10317 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
10318 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
10319 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
10321 *Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller*
10323 * BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
10324 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
10325 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
10326 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
10330 * Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
10331 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
10332 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
10333 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
10334 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
10335 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
10336 objects as "const" and the `lh_doall[_arg]` callback wrappers are not
10337 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
10338 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
10342 * The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
10343 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
10344 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
10345 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from
10346 `char *`. This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and
10348 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
10349 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
10353 * Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
10354 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
10355 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
10356 these have been updated also.
10360 * Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
10361 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
10362 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
10363 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
10364 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
10369 * New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
10370 structure of type "other".
10374 * Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
10375 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
10376 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
10377 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
10378 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
10379 situation in the script.
10381 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
10383 * Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
10384 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
10385 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
10386 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
10387 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
10388 used as premaster secret.
10390 *Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10392 * Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
10393 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
10395 *Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10397 * Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
10399 *Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte*
10401 * Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
10402 control of the error stack.
10406 * Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
10410 * Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
10411 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
10412 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
10413 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
10417 * Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
10418 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
10419 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
10423 * Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
10424 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
10425 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
10430 * Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
10431 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
10432 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
10433 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
10437 * Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
10438 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
10439 the following flags are defined:
10441 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
10442 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
10443 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
10446 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
10447 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
10448 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
10449 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
10454 * Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
10455 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
10456 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
10457 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
10458 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
10462 * Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
10463 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
10464 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
10468 * Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
10469 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
10470 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
10471 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
10472 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
10473 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
10477 * Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
10482 * Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
10486 * Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
10490 * Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
10494 * Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
10495 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
10496 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
10497 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
10498 default implementation more easily.
10502 * Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
10507 * Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
10508 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
10512 * Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
10513 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
10514 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
10515 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
10517 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
10518 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
10519 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
10520 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
10524 * Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
10525 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
10530 * In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
10531 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
10532 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
10533 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
10534 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
10535 scalar * generator).
10537 *Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller*
10539 * IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
10540 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
10541 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
10546 * Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
10547 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
10548 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
10549 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
10550 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
10551 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
10552 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
10553 linker additions, eg;
10554 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
10558 * "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
10559 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
10560 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
10564 * ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
10565 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
10566 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
10571 * Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
10572 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
10573 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
10574 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
10578 * Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
10579 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
10580 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have `_ex`
10581 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
10582 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
10583 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
10584 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
10585 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
10586 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
10587 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
10589 Example for using the new callback interface:
10591 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
10592 void *my_arg = ...;
10595 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
10597 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
10598 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
10599 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
10600 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
10601 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
10602 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
10607 * Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
10608 available to TLS with the number defined in
10609 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
10613 * Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
10614 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
10616 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
10617 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
10618 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
10619 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
10621 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
10622 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
10624 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
10625 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
10630 * Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
10631 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
10635 * Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
10636 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
10637 and a macro that behave like
10638 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
10640 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
10644 * Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
10645 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
10646 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
10649 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10651 * Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
10655 * Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
10656 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
10657 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
10658 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
10659 directory engines/.
10660 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
10661 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
10662 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
10663 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
10664 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
10665 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
10666 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
10668 *Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte*
10670 * Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
10671 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
10675 * Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
10677 *Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>*
10679 * Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
10680 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
10681 files while avoiding the low-level API.
10683 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
10684 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
10685 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
10686 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
10688 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
10689 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
10690 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
10691 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
10692 instead of the low-level API.
10696 * Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
10697 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
10698 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
10699 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
10700 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
10703 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
10704 down to the template encoder.
10708 * Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
10709 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
10713 * Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
10714 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
10715 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
10717 *Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10719 * Add ECDH engine support.
10721 *Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10723 * Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
10725 *Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10727 * Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
10728 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
10732 * Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
10733 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
10734 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
10738 * Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
10739 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
10741 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10743 * Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
10744 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
10747 EC_GF2m_simple_method
10751 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
10752 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
10753 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
10754 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
10755 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
10756 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
10758 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
10759 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
10762 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
10763 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
10764 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
10765 the above `..._GF2m functions` (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
10766 are essentially identical to their `..._GFp` counterparts.
10767 (For simplicity, the `..._GFp` prefix has been dropped from
10768 various internal method names.)
10770 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
10771 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
10773 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10775 * Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
10776 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
10778 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
10779 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
10780 methods are undefined.
10782 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10784 * New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
10785 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
10786 length of the modulus.
10788 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10790 * New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
10791 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
10793 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10795 * Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
10796 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
10797 used) in the following functions [macros]:
10800 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
10801 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
10802 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
10803 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
10805 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
10806 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
10807 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
10808 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
10810 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
10811 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
10813 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
10814 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
10815 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
10816 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
10817 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
10819 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
10820 This applies to the following functions:
10823 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
10824 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
10825 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
10826 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
10827 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
10828 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
10829 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
10833 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
10838 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
10840 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
10841 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
10842 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
10843 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
10844 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
10846 *Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)*
10848 * Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
10849 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
10851 *Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>*
10853 * Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
10854 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
10856 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
10857 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
10858 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
10859 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
10861 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10863 * Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
10865 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
10866 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
10867 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
10868 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
10869 These control ASN1 encoding details:
10870 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
10871 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
10872 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
10873 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
10874 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
10875 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
10876 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
10878 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
10880 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
10881 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
10882 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
10883 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
10885 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10887 * Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
10888 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
10889 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
10891 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10894 EC_POINT_point2bn()
10895 EC_POINT_bn2point()
10896 EC_POINT_point2hex()
10897 EC_POINT_hex2point()
10898 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
10899 EC_POINT_oct2point().
10901 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10903 * Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
10904 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
10905 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
10906 EC_GROUP_get_order()
10907 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
10908 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
10909 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
10910 adding different types of curves.
10912 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller*
10914 * Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
10915 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
10916 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
10920 * Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
10921 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
10923 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
10924 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
10925 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
10927 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10929 * Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
10931 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
10932 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
10934 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
10935 library. Most notably,
10936 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
10937 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
10938 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
10939 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
10940 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
10941 extracted before the specific public key;
10942 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
10944 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
10946 * Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
10947 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
10949 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
10950 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
10951 EC_get_builtin_curves().
10952 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
10954 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
10955 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
10957 *Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller*
10959 * Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
10960 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
10961 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
10962 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
10963 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
10964 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
10969 ### Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
10971 * Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
10974 *Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>*
10976 * Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
10977 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
10978 authentication-only ciphersuites.
10982 * Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
10983 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
10984 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
10988 * Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
10992 * Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
10993 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
10997 * New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
10998 run algorithm test programs.
11002 * Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
11006 * Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
11007 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
11008 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
11009 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
11010 message has informed the client about his choice.)
11014 * Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
11015 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
11019 ### Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
11021 * Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
11022 cause a denial of service. ([CVE-2006-2940])
11024 *Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller*
11026 * Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
11027 in a denial of service. ([CVE-2006-2937]) [Steve Henson]
11029 * Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
11030 ([CVE-2006-3738]) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
11032 * Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
11033 malicious SSLv2 server. ([CVE-2006-4343])
11035 *Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team*
11037 * Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
11038 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
11039 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
11040 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
11041 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
11042 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
11043 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
11047 ### Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
11049 * Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
11050 ([CVE-2006-4339]) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
11052 * Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
11053 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
11054 undesirable limitations.
11056 *Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller*
11058 * Disable rogue ciphersuites:
11060 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
11061 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
11062 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
11064 The latter two were purportedly from
11065 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
11068 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
11069 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
11070 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
11074 * Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
11075 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
11079 ### Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
11081 * Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
11082 module in FIPS mode.
11086 * Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
11090 * Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
11091 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
11092 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
11093 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
11097 ### Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
11099 * Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
11100 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
11101 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
11102 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
11103 the difference induced by this change.
11107 ### Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
11109 * Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
11110 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
11111 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
11112 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
11113 idea. ([CVE-2005-2969])
11115 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
11116 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
11117 Science and Technology [AIST, Japan)]*
11119 * Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
11120 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
11124 * For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
11125 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
11126 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
11127 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
11132 * Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
11133 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
11134 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
11135 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
11136 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
11138 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
11139 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
11140 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
11141 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
11142 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
11143 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
11145 *Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller*
11147 * Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
11148 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
11149 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
11150 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
11151 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
11155 * Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
11160 * New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
11161 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
11162 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
11166 * Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
11167 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
11168 structures constant.
11172 ### Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
11174 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
11177 * Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
11178 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
11179 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
11180 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
11181 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
11182 some needed definitions.
11186 * Undo Cygwin change.
11190 * Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
11191 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
11192 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
11193 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
11197 ### Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
11199 * Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
11200 server and client random values. Previously
11201 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
11202 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
11204 This change has negligible security impact because:
11206 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
11209 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
11212 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
11213 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
11216 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
11219 *Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC*
11221 * Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
11225 * Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
11226 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
11228 *Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014*
11230 * Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
11234 * Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
11235 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
11239 * Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
11240 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
11242 *Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson*
11244 * Add new -passin argument to dgst.
11248 * Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
11249 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
11250 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
11255 * Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
11256 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
11257 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
11258 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
11260 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
11261 has chosen to ignore this fault)
11262 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
11263 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
11268 ### Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
11270 * Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
11271 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
11272 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
11273 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
11274 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
11278 * Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
11282 * Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
11284 *David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>*
11286 * Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
11287 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
11288 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
11289 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
11290 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
11291 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
11292 rather than being initialized to 1.
11296 ### Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
11298 * Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
11299 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool ([CVE-2004-0079])
11301 *Joe Orton, Steve Henson*
11303 * Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
11306 *Joe Orton, Steve Henson*
11308 * Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
11309 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
11310 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
11311 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
11312 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
11313 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
11317 * X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
11318 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
11319 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
11320 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
11321 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
11326 * When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
11327 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
11328 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
11329 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
11330 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
11334 * New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
11335 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
11336 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
11341 * Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
11343 *Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>*
11345 * Use the correct content when signing type "other".
11349 ### Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
11351 * Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
11353 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
11354 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
11356 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid ([CVE-2003-0545]).
11358 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
11359 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
11363 * New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
11364 exiting on the first error in a request.
11368 * In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
11369 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
11374 * In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
11375 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
11376 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
11378 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe*
11380 * Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
11381 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
11385 * Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
11386 blocks during encryption.
11390 * Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
11391 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
11392 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
11393 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
11398 * Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
11399 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
11400 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
11401 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
11402 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
11407 ### Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
11409 * Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
11410 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
11411 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
11412 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
11416 * Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
11417 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
11418 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
11419 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
11421 *Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller*
11423 * Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
11424 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
11425 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
11426 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
11427 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
11428 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
11429 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
11430 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
11431 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
11435 * Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
11436 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
11437 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
11438 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
11442 * Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
11443 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
11447 ### Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
11449 * In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
11450 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
11451 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
11452 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
11453 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. ([CVE-2003-0078])
11455 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
11456 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
11457 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)*
11459 * Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
11460 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
11461 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
11462 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
11463 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
11465 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
11466 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
11467 used by default when no-err is given.
11471 * Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
11473 *dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454*
11475 * Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
11476 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
11477 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
11478 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
11480 *Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte*
11482 * Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
11483 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
11484 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
11485 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
11487 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
11489 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
11491 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
11493 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
11494 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
11495 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
11496 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
11501 * Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
11503 *Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte*
11505 * Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
11506 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
11510 * DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
11511 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
11512 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
11513 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
11517 * Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
11518 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
11519 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
11520 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
11521 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
11522 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
11523 followup to PR #377.
11527 * IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
11528 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
11532 * Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
11533 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
11534 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
11536 *Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>*
11538 ### Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
11540 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
11543 * Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
11544 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
11545 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
11546 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
11548 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
11553 * Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
11554 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
11559 * The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
11560 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
11561 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
11562 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
11563 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
11564 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
11566 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
11567 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
11568 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
11569 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
11570 have to be made anyway).
11574 * In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
11575 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
11576 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
11580 * Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
11581 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
11582 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
11586 * Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
11587 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
11589 *Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte*
11591 * Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
11592 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
11593 edit numbers of the version.
11595 *Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte*
11597 * Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
11598 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
11600 *Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte*
11602 * Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
11604 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11606 * Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
11607 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
11609 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11611 * Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
11613 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11615 * Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
11617 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11619 * Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
11621 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11623 * Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
11625 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11627 * Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
11630 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11632 * Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
11633 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
11635 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11637 * Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
11638 representations in a platform independent manner.
11640 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11642 * Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
11643 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
11645 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11647 * Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
11650 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11652 * Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
11654 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11656 * buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
11659 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11661 * Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
11662 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
11664 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11666 * New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
11669 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11671 * Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
11673 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11675 * Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
11677 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11679 * Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
11681 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11683 * If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
11685 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11687 * Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
11690 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11692 * Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
11694 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11696 * Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
11698 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11700 * Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
11701 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
11704 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11706 * Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
11707 the 0.9.6 release series:
11709 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
11710 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
11713 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
11715 * Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
11719 * Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
11721 *Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson*
11723 * The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
11725 *Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>*
11727 * Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
11728 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
11729 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
11731 *Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>*
11733 * Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
11734 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
11735 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
11737 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
11738 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
11739 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
11741 *Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller*
11743 * Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
11744 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
11745 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
11748 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
11749 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
11750 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
11751 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
11752 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
11753 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
11754 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
11755 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
11758 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
11759 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
11760 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
11764 * Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
11765 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
11766 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
11767 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
11769 *Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>*
11771 * Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
11773 *Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>*
11775 * Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
11776 error in AES-CFB decryption.
11780 * Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
11781 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
11782 calling `EVP_*Final()`. This behaviour is used by encryption
11783 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
11784 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
11785 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
11789 * Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
11790 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
11791 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
11795 * Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
11796 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
11800 * Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
11801 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
11802 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
11803 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
11804 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
11805 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
11806 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
11810 * Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
11811 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
11812 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
11813 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
11814 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
11815 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
11819 * Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
11820 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
11821 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
11822 declaration has been changed from
11825 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
11826 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
11827 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
11828 has been changed into
11829 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
11831 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
11832 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
11834 *D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>*
11836 * Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
11838 *Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe*
11840 * Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
11841 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
11842 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
11843 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
11844 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
11845 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
11846 always load it have also been added.
11850 * Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
11851 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
11853 *Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte*
11855 * Config modules support in openssl utility.
11857 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
11858 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
11859 because it couldn't be used for anything.
11861 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
11862 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
11863 command line option can be used to specify an
11868 * Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
11869 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
11873 * Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
11874 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
11875 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
11879 * Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
11880 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
11881 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
11882 to work with the new engine framework.
11884 *AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte*
11886 * Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
11887 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
11888 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
11889 to work with the new engine framework.
11893 * Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
11894 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
11896 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte*
11898 * Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
11900 *Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte*
11902 * Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
11903 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
11904 implemented in `apps.c`, and make those routines able to
11905 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
11908 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte*
11910 * Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
11912 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte*
11914 * Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
11916 *Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>*
11918 * Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
11919 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
11920 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
11924 * Add new functions
11925 ERR_peek_last_error
11926 ERR_peek_last_error_line
11927 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
11928 These are similar to
11930 ERR_peek_error_line
11931 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
11932 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
11933 still in the error queue.
11935 *Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller*
11937 * default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
11939 default_algorithms = ALL
11940 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
11944 * Preliminary ENGINE config module.
11948 * New experimental application configuration code.
11952 * Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
11953 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
11954 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
11956 *Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte*
11958 * SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
11960 *Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt*
11962 * Add option to output public keys in req command.
11964 *Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org*
11966 * Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
11967 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
11971 * New functions/macros
11973 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
11974 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
11975 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
11976 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
11978 to request calling a callback function
11980 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
11981 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
11983 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
11984 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
11985 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
11986 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
11987 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
11988 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
11989 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
11990 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
11991 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
11992 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
11994 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
11995 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
11999 * Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
12000 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
12001 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
12002 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
12003 the configuration scripts.
12005 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
12006 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
12008 *"Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte*
12010 * Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
12012 *Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>*
12014 * Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
12015 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
12016 when reusing an existing buffer.
12020 * New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
12021 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
12025 * Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
12026 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
12030 * Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
12031 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
12032 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
12033 has the same effect.
12035 *Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org*
12037 * Change all functions with names starting with `des_` to be starting
12038 with `DES_` instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
12039 but are named `_ossl_old_des_*`. Finally, add macros that map the
12040 `des_*` symbols to the corresponding `_ossl_old_des_*` if libdes
12041 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
12042 desired, the `des_*` symbols will be mapped to `DES_*`, with one
12045 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
12046 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
12047 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
12048 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
12050 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
12051 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
12052 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
12053 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
12055 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
12056 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
12059 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
12060 authors are encouraged to switch to the `DES_` style functions. Some
12061 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
12062 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
12063 default), and then completely removed.
12067 * Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
12068 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
12069 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
12070 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
12071 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
12072 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
12073 particular extension is supported.
12077 * Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
12078 to retain compatibility with existing code.
12082 * Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
12083 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
12084 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
12085 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
12086 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
12087 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
12088 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
12089 requires the destination to be valid.
12091 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
12092 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
12096 * Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
12097 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
12098 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
12102 * Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
12104 *Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte*
12106 * Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
12107 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
12108 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
12109 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
12110 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
12111 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
12112 implementations of their own. This is detailed in
12113 [crypto/engine/README.md](crypto/engine/README.md)
12114 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
12115 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
12116 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
12117 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
12118 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
12119 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
12120 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
12121 functions dealing with `BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT]` handlers have been removed -
12122 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
12123 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
12124 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
12125 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
12130 * Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
12134 * Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
12135 and make sure the automatically generated functions `ERR_load_*`
12136 become part of libeay.num as well.
12140 * New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
12141 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
12142 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
12143 false once a handshake has been completed.
12144 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
12145 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
12146 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
12147 client has followed the request.)
12151 * New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
12152 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
12153 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
12154 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
12156 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
12157 more bits available for options that should not be part of
12158 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
12162 * Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
12166 * Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
12167 settable (`SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()`), as proposed by
12168 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
12172 * Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
12173 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
12177 * Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
12178 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
12179 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
12180 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
12184 * Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
12185 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
12186 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
12187 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
12188 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
12189 shared-libraries easier (see [README-Engine.md](README-Engine.md)).
12193 * Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
12194 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
12195 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
12196 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
12197 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
12198 the [README-Engine.md](README-Engine.md) file
12199 that brings its information up-to-date and
12200 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
12201 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
12205 * Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
12206 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
12210 * Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
12214 * Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
12215 md_data void pointer.
12219 * Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
12220 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
12221 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
12222 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
12223 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
12224 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
12228 * As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
12229 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
12230 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
12231 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
12232 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
12233 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
12234 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
12235 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
12236 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
12237 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
12238 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
12239 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
12240 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
12241 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
12242 rather than letting it slide.
12244 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
12245 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
12246 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
12250 * Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
12251 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
12252 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
12253 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
12254 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
12255 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
12256 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
12257 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
12258 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
12262 * Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own `*_up_ref()` function to increment
12263 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
12264 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
12265 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
12266 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
12268 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
12272 * Add EVP test program.
12276 * Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
12280 * New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
12281 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
12282 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
12283 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
12284 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
12288 * Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
12289 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
12290 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
12291 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
12292 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
12293 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
12295 *Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke*
12297 * Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
12298 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
12299 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
12304 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
12305 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
12306 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
12307 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
12308 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
12312 * Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
12313 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
12314 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
12315 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
12318 des_key_schedule ks;
12320 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
12321 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
12323 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
12327 * Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
12328 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
12329 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
12330 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
12331 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
12332 functions prevents this.
12336 * Cleanup of EVP macros.
12340 * Change historical references to `{NID,SN,LN}_des_ede` and ede3 to add the
12341 correct `_ecb suffix`.
12345 * Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
12346 revocation information is handled using the text based index
12347 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
12348 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
12349 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
12353 * Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
12357 * Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
12358 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
12359 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
12360 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
12362 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
12363 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
12365 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
12366 *Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>, Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
12367 via Richard Levitte*
12369 * Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
12370 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
12371 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
12372 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
12376 * Speed up EVP routines.
12379 pe 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
12380 s-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

12395 * Added the OS2-EMX target.
12397 *"Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte*
12399 * Rewrite commands to use `NCONF` routines instead of the old `CONF`.
12400 New functions to support `NCONF` routines in extension code.
12401 New function `CONF_set_nconf()`
12402 to allow functions which take an `NCONF` to also handle the old `LHASH`
12403 structure: this means that the old `CONF` compatible routines can be
12404 retained (in particular w.rt. extensions) without having to duplicate the
12405 code. New function `X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk()` to add extensions to a stack.
12409 * Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
12410 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
12414 * Change all calls to low-level digest routines in the library and
12415 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
12416 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
12418 *Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson*
12420 * Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
12421 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
12422 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
12423 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
12424 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
12425 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
12430 * Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
12431 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
12432 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
12433 and interrupts/cancellations.
12437 * Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
12438 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
12442 * Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
12443 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
12445 *Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>*
12447 * Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
12448 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
12453 * Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
12454 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
12455 than this minimum value is recommended.
12459 * New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
12460 that are easily reachable.
12464 * Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
12465 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
12467 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
12469 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
12470 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
12471 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
12472 needed for static libraries under Win32.
12476 * New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
12477 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
12478 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
12482 * Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
12483 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
12484 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
12485 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
12486 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
12487 internally such as S/MIME.
12489 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
12490 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
12491 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
12493 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
12498 * Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
12499 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
12500 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
12501 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
12503 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
12505 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
12507 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
12508 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
12509 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
12514 * Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
12515 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
12516 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
12517 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
12518 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
12519 a window system and the like.
12523 * Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
12524 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
12528 * Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
12529 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
12530 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
12531 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
12532 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
12533 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
12534 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
12535 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
12536 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
12541 * Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
12542 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
12547 * Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
12548 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
12549 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
12550 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
12551 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
12552 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
12553 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
12554 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
12558 * New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
12559 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
12560 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
12561 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
12562 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
12563 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
12564 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
12565 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
12566 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
12567 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
12568 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
12569 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
12570 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
12571 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
12572 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
12573 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
12574 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
12578 * Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
12579 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
12580 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
12581 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
12582 internal engine_int.h header.
12586 * Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
12587 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
12588 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
12589 modify their own ones).
12593 * Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
12594 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
12595 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
12596 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
12597 later on via ctrl() commands.
12598 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
12599 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
12600 structural references.
12601 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
12602 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
12603 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
12604 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
12605 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
12606 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
12607 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
12608 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
12609 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
12610 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
12611 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
12612 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
12616 * Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
12617 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
12618 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
12619 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
12620 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
12621 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
12622 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
12623 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
12627 * Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
12628 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
12632 * Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
12633 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
12637 * Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
12638 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
12639 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
12640 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
12641 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
12642 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
12643 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
12647 * Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
12648 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
12649 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
12650 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
12651 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
12653 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
12654 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
12659 * First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
12661 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
12662 operations and provides various method functions that can also
12663 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
12665 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
12666 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
12668 *Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
12669 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
12670 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>*
12672 * Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
12673 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
12675 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
12676 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
12678 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
12680 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
12681 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
12682 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
12686 * Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
12687 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
12691 * Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
12692 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
12693 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
12694 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
12695 is 40 of more characters long.
12699 * Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
12700 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
12705 * Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
12706 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
12710 * Modify `EVP_Digest*()` routines so they now return values. Although the
12711 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
12716 * Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
12718 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
12719 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
12722 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
12724 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
12725 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
12726 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
12728 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
12729 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
12731 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
12735 * Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
12740 * New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
12741 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
12742 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
12743 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
12745 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
12747 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
12749 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>*
12751 * Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
12752 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
12753 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
12754 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
12755 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
12756 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
12758 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
12759 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
12761 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
12762 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
12764 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
12765 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
12767 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
12768 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
12769 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
12770 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
12772 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
12773 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
12775 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
12776 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
12778 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
12779 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
12780 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
12781 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
12782 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
12786 * In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
12787 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
12788 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
12789 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
12793 * Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
12794 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
12795 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
12800 * Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
12801 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
12802 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
12803 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
12804 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
12805 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
12806 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
12807 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
12812 * If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
12813 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
12817 * Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
12818 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
12819 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
12820 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
12824 * New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
12825 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
12826 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
12827 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
12828 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
12829 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
12830 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
12831 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
12832 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
12833 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
12837 * Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
12838 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
12839 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
12840 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
12841 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
12842 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
12843 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
12845 *Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke*
12847 * Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
12848 of the form `#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...` and
12849 `#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...`. This also avoids
12850 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
12854 * Make all configuration macros available for application by making
12855 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
12856 with `OPENSSL_` to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
12857 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
12859 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
12860 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
12861 are prefixed with `OPENSSL_SYSNAME_`. e_os2.h will create another
12862 macro with the name beginning with `OPENSSL_SYS_`, which is determined
12863 from `OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*` or compiler-specific macros depending on
12868 * New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
12869 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
12870 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
12871 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
12876 * New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
12877 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
12878 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
12882 * New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
12883 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
12884 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
12885 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
12886 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
12890 * Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
12894 * New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
12895 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
12896 option to ocsp utility.
12900 * New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
12901 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
12902 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
12903 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
12904 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
12905 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
12906 the request is nonce-less.
12910 * Disable stdin buffering in `load_cert()` (`apps/apps.c`) so that no certs are
12911 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
12912 e.g. `(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs`.
12916 * Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
12917 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
12918 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
12922 * New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
12923 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
12924 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
12925 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
12926 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
12930 * Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
12931 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
12936 * Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
12937 additional certificates supplied.
12941 * Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
12942 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
12947 * Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
12948 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
12951 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
12952 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
12953 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
12954 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
12955 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
12956 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
12957 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
12958 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
12960 *Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller*
12962 * New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
12963 request to response.
12967 * Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
12968 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
12969 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
12970 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
12971 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
12972 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
12973 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
12974 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
12975 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
12976 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
12977 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
12981 * Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
12982 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
12983 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
12984 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
12988 * Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
12990 *Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>*
12992 * New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
12993 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
12994 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
12998 * In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
12999 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
13000 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
13001 *Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
13002 <support@securenetterm.com>*
13004 * Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
13005 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
13006 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
13010 * Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
13011 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
13012 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
13013 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
13014 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
13015 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
13016 *Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
13017 <support@securenetterm.com>*
13019 * Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
13020 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
13021 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
13022 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
13023 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
13024 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
13028 * Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
13029 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
13030 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
13031 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
13032 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
13033 printout format cleaned up.
13037 * Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
13038 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
13039 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
13040 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
13041 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
13042 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
13043 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
13044 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
13048 * Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
13049 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
13050 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
13051 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
13052 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
13053 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
13054 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
13055 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
13059 * New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
13060 extensions from a separate configuration file.
13061 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
13062 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
13065 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>*
13067 * New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
13068 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
13069 parsed, outputted or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
13070 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
13074 * New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
13075 `openssl ca -status <serial>` prints the status of the cert with
13076 the given serial number (according to the index file).
13077 `openssl ca -updatedb` updates the expiry status of certificates
13080 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>*
13082 * New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
13083 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
13084 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
13086 *Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>*
13088 * New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
13090 *Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte*
13092 * Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
13093 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
13094 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
13098 * New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
13099 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
13100 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
13104 * Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
13105 file name and line number information in additional arguments
13106 (a `const char*` and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
13107 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
13108 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
13109 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
13110 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
13111 functions are provided:
13113 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
13114 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
13115 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
13116 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
13118 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
13119 `CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions` now writes 0 where such an
13120 extended allocation function is enabled.
13121 Similarly, `CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions` writes 0 where
13122 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
13124 *Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller*
13126 * Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
13127 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
13128 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
13129 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
13130 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
13134 * Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
13135 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
13136 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
13138 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
13139 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
13140 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
13144 * Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
13145 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
13146 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
13147 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
13148 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
13149 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
13150 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
13151 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
13152 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
13156 * Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
13157 provide utility functions which an application needing
13158 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
13159 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
13160 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
13162 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
13163 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
13164 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
13165 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
13166 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
13167 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
13168 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
13169 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
13170 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
13172 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
13173 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
13174 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
13175 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
13179 * Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
13180 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
13181 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
13182 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
13183 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
13184 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
13185 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
13186 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
13187 will be added elsewhere.
13191 * Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
13192 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
13193 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
13194 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
13198 * Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
13199 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
13200 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
13201 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
13202 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
13203 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
13204 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
13205 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
13206 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
13207 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
13208 to produce the required SET OF.
13212 * Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
13213 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
13214 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
13218 * Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
13219 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
13220 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
13221 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
13222 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
13223 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
13227 * New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
13228 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
13229 the `*_d2i_bio()` and `*_d2i_fp()` functions to use these.
13233 * Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
13234 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
13235 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
13239 * New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
13240 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
13241 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
13242 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
13243 code will still work when these eventually go away.
13247 * New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
13248 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
13252 * New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
13253 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
13254 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
13255 certificates and CRLs.
13259 * Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
13260 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
13261 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
13265 * Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
13266 entries for variables.
13270 * Add functionality to `apps/openssl.c` for detecting locking
13271 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
13272 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
13273 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
13277 * Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
13278 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
13279 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
13280 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
13281 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
13282 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
13286 * Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
13288 *Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe*
13290 * Move common extension printing code to new function
13291 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
13292 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
13296 * New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
13301 * Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
13302 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
13303 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
13304 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
13305 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
13306 order did not reflect the encoded order.
13310 * Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
13314 * Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
13315 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
13316 for now but they will eventually go away.
13320 * Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
13321 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
13322 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
13323 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
13324 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
13325 has also been converted to the new form.
13329 * Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
13330 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
13331 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
13332 for negative moduli.
13336 * Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
13337 of not touching the result's sign bit.
13341 * BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
13346 * Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
13347 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
13348 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
13349 type-specific callbacks.
13353 * Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
13355 *Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
13356 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte*
13358 * Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
13359 in sections depending on the subject.
13363 * Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
13368 * New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
13369 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
13370 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
13371 be handled deterministically).
13373 *Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller*
13375 * Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
13376 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
13377 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
13381 * New function BN_kronecker.
13385 * Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
13386 positive unless both parameters are zero.
13387 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
13388 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
13389 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
13393 * Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
13394 sign of the number in question.
13396 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
13398 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
13399 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
13400 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
13401 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
13402 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
13406 * New function BN_swap.
13410 * Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
13411 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
13412 results on negative inputs.
13416 * Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
13417 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
13418 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
13422 * Move `BN_mod_...` functions into new file `crypto/bn/bn_mod.c`
13423 (except for exponentiation, which stays in `crypto/bn/bn_exp.c`,
13424 and `BN_mod_mul_reciprocal`, which stays in `crypto/bn/bn_recp.c`)
13425 and add new functions:
13434 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
13436 BN_mod_lshift_quick
13438 These functions always generate non-negative results.
13440 `BN_nnmod` otherwise is `like BN_mod` (if `BN_mod` computes a remainder `r`
13441 such that `|m| < r < 0`, `BN_nnmod` will output `rem + |m|` instead).
13443 `BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m)` generates the same result as
13444 `BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx)`, but requires that `a` [and `b`]
13445 be reduced modulo `m`.
13447 *Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller*
13450 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
13451 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
13452 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
13454 * Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
13455 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
13456 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
13457 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
13458 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
13459 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
13465 * In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
13466 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
13467 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
13468 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
13469 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
13471 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
13472 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
13473 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
13474 cause any problems.
13478 * Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
13482 * Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
13483 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
13487 * Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
13488 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
13489 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
13490 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
13495 * Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
13499 * Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
13503 * Add the following functions:
13505 ENGINE_load_cswift()
13507 ENGINE_load_atalla()
13508 ENGINE_load_nuron()
13509 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
13511 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
13512 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
13513 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
13514 libraries unless it's really needed.
13516 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
13517 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
13518 declarations (they differed!).
13522 * 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
13526 * Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
13530 * Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
13534 * Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
13535 identity, and test if they are actually available.
13539 * Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
13540 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
13542 *Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>*
13544 * Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
13545 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
13549 * Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
13553 * Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
13557 * Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
13561 * Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
13562 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
13564 *Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte*
13566 * Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
13567 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
13568 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
13569 different shared library filenames on each system.
13573 * Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
13577 * Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
13578 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
13579 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
13582 *Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson*
13585 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
13586 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (`_e` for "error checking") and is
13587 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
13588 binary backward compatibility.
13589 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
13590 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
13591 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
13596 * Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
13597 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
13598 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
13599 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
13604 * Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
13608 * Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
13609 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
13610 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
13611 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
13616 * Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
13620 ### Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
13622 * Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
13623 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool ([CVE-2004-0079])
13625 *Joe Orton, Steve Henson*
13627 ### Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
13629 * Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
13631 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
13632 certain ASN.1 tags ([CVE-2003-0851])
13636 ### Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
13638 * Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
13640 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
13641 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
13643 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
13644 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
13648 * In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
13649 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
13654 * In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
13655 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
13656 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
13658 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe*
13660 * Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
13661 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
13665 ### Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
13667 * Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
13668 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
13669 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
13670 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
13674 * Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
13675 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
13676 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
13677 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
13679 *Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller*
13681 * Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
13682 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
13683 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
13684 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
13685 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
13686 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
13687 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
13688 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
13689 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
13693 ### Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
13695 * In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
13696 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
13697 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
13698 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
13699 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. ([CVE-2003-0078])
13701 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
13702 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
13703 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)*
13705 ### Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
13707 * New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
13708 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
13709 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
13710 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
13711 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
13712 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
13716 * Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
13717 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
13718 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
13719 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
13720 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
13724 * Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
13725 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
13727 *Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>*
13729 * Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
13730 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
13731 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
13736 * Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
13737 being properly terminated.
13741 * Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
13742 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
13743 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
13745 *stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte*
13747 * Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
13748 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
13749 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
13750 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
13751 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
13752 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
13753 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
13756 *Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El*
13758 * Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
13759 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
13763 * Fix initialization code race conditions in
13764 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
13765 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
13766 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
13767 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
13768 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
13769 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
13771 *Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller*
13773 * Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
13774 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
13775 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
13776 (see [openssl.org #212]).
13778 *Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke*
13780 * Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
13781 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
13785 ### Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
13787 * [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
13788 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use `_stdcall`).
13790 *Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>*
13792 ### Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
13794 * Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
13795 and get fix the header length calculation.
13796 *Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
13797 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others), Steve Henson*
13799 * Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
13800 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
13801 assertions could call abort()).
13803 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller*
13805 ### Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
13807 * Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
13808 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
13809 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
13812 *Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>*
13814 * Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
13815 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
13816 by the selection routines (PR #130).
13820 * Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
13825 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
13826 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
13827 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
13829 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
13830 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
13831 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
13832 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
13833 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
13838 * Changes in security patch:
13840 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
13841 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
13842 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
13845 * Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
13846 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
13847 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
13848 supplied buffer. ([CVE-2002-0659])
13850 *Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>*
13852 * Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
13853 happen in practice.
13855 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
13857 * Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
13858 too small for 64 bit platforms. ([CVE-2002-0655])
13859 *Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>*
13861 * Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
13862 supply an oversized session ID to a client. ([CVE-2002-0656])
13864 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
13866 * Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
13867 supply an oversized client master key. ([CVE-2002-0656])
13869 *Ben Laurie (CHATS)*
13871 ### Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
13873 * Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
13874 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
13876 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller*
13878 * Check various `X509_...()` return values in `apps/req.c`.
13880 *Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>*
13882 * Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
13883 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
13884 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
13885 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
13886 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
13887 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
13891 * Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
13892 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
13893 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
13894 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
13898 * Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
13902 * TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
13903 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
13904 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
13905 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
13906 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
13908 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
13910 * Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
13911 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
13912 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
13913 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
13914 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
13918 * Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
13919 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
13920 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
13921 BN_generate_prime().)
13923 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
13924 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
13925 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
13930 * Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
13931 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
13935 * Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
13936 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
13937 when using non-blocking I/O.
13939 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes*
13941 * Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
13943 *Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke*
13945 * Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
13946 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
13950 * Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
13951 configuration for the versions before that.
13953 *Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte*
13955 * Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
13956 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
13957 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
13958 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
13962 * Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
13963 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
13964 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
13968 * Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
13973 * [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
13974 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
13976 *Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte*
13978 * Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
13980 *Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte*
13982 * The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
13983 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
13984 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
13985 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
13986 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
13987 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
13988 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
13991 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
13992 using a local variable.
13994 *Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller*
13996 * Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
13997 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
13999 *Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller*
14001 * New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
14005 * Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
14007 *"Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>*
14009 * Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
14010 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
14012 *D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>*
14014 ### Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
14016 * Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
14017 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
14018 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = `10..._2` and
14019 `3*range` is two bits longer than range.)
14023 * Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
14028 * Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
14029 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
14030 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
14031 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
14033 *Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller*
14035 * Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
14036 returns early because it has nothing to do.
14038 *Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>*
14040 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
14041 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
14043 *Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>*
14045 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
14046 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
14047 (Use engine 'keyclient')
14049 *Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe*
14051 * Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
14052 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
14053 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
14056 *Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>*
14058 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
14059 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
14062 *Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox*
14064 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
14065 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
14066 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
14068 *Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox*
14070 * [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
14071 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
14072 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
14074 *AEP Inc. and Mark Cox*
14076 * Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
14078 *Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>*
14080 * Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
14081 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
14082 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
14086 * Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
14087 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
14088 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
14090 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>*
14092 * Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
14093 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
14094 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
14095 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
14096 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
14097 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
14098 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
14102 * Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
14103 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
14104 one of the SSL handshake functions.
14106 *Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric*
14108 * In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
14109 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
14110 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
14111 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
14112 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
14113 the client will at least see that alert.
14117 * Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
14122 * Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
14123 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
14125 *Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>*
14127 * Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
14128 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
14129 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
14130 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
14133 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
14134 before just sending a HelloRequest.
14136 *Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>*
14138 * Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
14139 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
14140 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
14141 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
14142 may leak via logfiles.)
14144 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
14145 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
14146 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
14147 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
14152 * Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
14153 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
14157 * Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
14158 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
14159 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
14160 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
14161 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
14165 * BN_sqr() bug fix.
14167 *Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>*
14169 * Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
14170 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
14171 followed by modular reduction.
14173 *Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>*
14175 * Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
14176 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
14180 * s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
14181 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
14182 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
14183 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
14187 * Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to `SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]()`.
14191 * Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
14192 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
14196 * Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
14197 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
14198 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
14199 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
14200 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
14201 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
14204 *Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte*
14206 * In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
14207 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
14208 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
14209 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
14211 *Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>*
14213 * Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
14217 * Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
14218 specifically for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
14219 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
14220 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
14221 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
14222 to allow the necessary settings.
14226 * Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
14227 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
14228 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
14229 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
14233 * In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
14234 dh->length and always used
14236 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
14238 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
14239 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
14240 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
14241 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
14242 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
14247 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
14249 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
14256 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
14257 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
14258 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
14259 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
14261 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
14262 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
14263 always reject numbers >= n.
14267 * In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
14268 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
14269 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
14270 variable) is not atomic.
14274 * In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
14275 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
14276 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
14278 *Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>*
14280 * Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
14282 *Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>*
14284 * Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
14285 little-endian MIPS.
14287 *Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>*
14289 * Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
14293 ### Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
14295 * Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
14296 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
14297 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
14298 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
14299 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
14300 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
14301 to traverse all of 'state'.
14303 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
14304 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
14305 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
14307 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
14308 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
14310 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
14311 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
14312 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
14313 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
14314 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
14315 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
14316 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
14317 further strengthens the PRNG.
14321 * Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
14325 * When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
14326 an error message in this case.
14330 * Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
14334 * In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
14335 positive and less than q.
14339 * Don't change `*pointer` in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
14340 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
14343 *Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>*
14345 * Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
14346 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
14352 *Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller*
14354 * The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
14355 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
14356 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
14357 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
14358 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
14359 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
14360 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
14363 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
14364 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
14365 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
14366 detect the supposedly ignored error.
14368 Both problems are now fixed.
14372 * In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
14373 (previously it was 1024).
14377 * Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
14378 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
14382 * Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
14386 * Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
14387 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
14388 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
14392 * In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
14393 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
14394 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
14395 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
14396 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
14397 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
14398 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
14399 environment variables.
14401 * Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
14402 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
14403 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
14407 * In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
14408 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
14409 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
14410 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
14411 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
14412 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
14416 * Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
14417 versions of 'test'.
14421 ### Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
14423 * Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
14425 *Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>*
14427 * Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
14428 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
14429 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
14430 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
14435 * Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
14436 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
14437 amount of data available.
14439 *Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org*
14441 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
14443 * Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
14444 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
14445 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
14446 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
14450 * Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
14451 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
14456 * Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
14457 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
14458 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
14459 <http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz>).
14463 * MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
14467 * Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
14471 * Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
14472 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
14476 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
14478 * Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
14479 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
14480 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
14481 (but broken) behaviour.
14485 * Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
14488 *Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte*
14490 * Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
14491 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
14495 * Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
14500 * Replace rdtsc with `_emit` statements for VC++ version 5.
14502 *Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>*
14504 * Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
14508 * In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
14509 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
14511 *Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>*
14513 * Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
14514 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
14515 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
14519 * Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
14520 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
14524 * Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
14525 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
14527 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
14529 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
14531 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
14532 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
14533 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
14534 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
14538 * Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
14542 * Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
14543 *Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
14544 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>*
14546 * Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
14551 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
14553 * Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
14554 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
14555 but the code is actually correct.
14559 * Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
14560 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
14561 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
14562 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
14563 and leaves the highest bit random.
14565 *Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller*
14567 * In the `NCONF_...`-based implementations for `CONF_...` queries
14568 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
14569 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
14570 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
14571 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
14572 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
14573 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
14577 * Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
14581 * Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
14582 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
14586 * Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
14587 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
14588 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
14589 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
14594 * Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
14595 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
14596 and break the signature.
14600 *This change does not apply to 0.9.7.*
14602 * Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
14607 * Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
14608 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
14609 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
14610 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
14611 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
14615 * Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
14617 *"Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>*
14619 * ./config script fixes.
14621 *Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte*
14623 * Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
14627 * Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
14628 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
14629 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
14630 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
14632 *Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>*
14634 * Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
14635 call failed, free the DSA structure.
14639 * Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
14640 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
14644 * Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
14645 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
14646 when writing a 32767 byte record.
14648 *Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>*
14650 * In `RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt` and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
14651 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting `rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}`.
14653 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
14654 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
14655 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
14656 *Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
14657 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>*
14659 * Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
14663 * Use better test patterns in bntest.
14667 * rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
14671 * BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
14675 * Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
14676 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
14680 * Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
14681 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
14682 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
14683 result of the server certificate verification.)
14687 * Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
14688 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
14689 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
14694 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
14695 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
14696 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
14697 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
14698 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
14699 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
14700 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
14701 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
14705 * Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
14706 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
14707 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
14708 happening the other way round.
14712 * Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
14713 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
14717 * Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
14718 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
14719 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
14720 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
14724 * Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
14726 *Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>*
14728 * Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
14730 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
14731 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
14732 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
14735 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
14737 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
14739 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
14744 * Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
14746 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
14747 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
14748 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
14749 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
14751 *Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>*
14753 * Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
14754 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
14759 * Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
14763 ### Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
14765 * In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
14766 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
14767 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
14768 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
14769 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
14770 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
14771 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
14772 by the Finished messages.
14776 * More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
14778 *Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>*
14780 * For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
14781 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
14782 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
14783 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
14784 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
14789 * Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
14790 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
14791 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
14792 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
14793 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
14794 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
14795 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
14796 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
14797 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
14802 * On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
14803 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
14804 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
14805 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
14807 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
14808 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
14809 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
14810 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
14811 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
14814 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
14815 been tested well enough.
14819 * Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
14820 it can return incorrect results.
14821 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
14822 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
14826 * Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
14827 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
14828 include zero length content when signing messages.
14832 * New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
14833 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
14837 * Add DSO method for VMS.
14841 * Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
14846 * Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
14847 packages. The default package contains applications, application
14848 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
14849 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
14850 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
14851 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
14855 * Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
14857 *Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>*
14859 * Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
14861 *NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>*
14863 * Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
14864 random number < q in the DSA library.
14868 * New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
14869 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
14870 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
14871 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
14872 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
14873 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
14874 just makes things more complicated.)
14878 * Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
14883 * Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req` and `x509`
14884 work better on such systems.
14886 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>*
14888 * Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
14889 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
14890 keyid to the certificates aux info.
14894 * Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
14895 if there was more than one signature.
14897 *Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>*
14899 * Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
14900 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
14901 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
14902 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
14906 * Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
14907 rather than always using the current time.
14911 * Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
14912 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
14913 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
14914 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
14915 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
14916 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
14918 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
14919 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
14921 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
14923 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
14924 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
14925 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
14926 the same hash value.
14928 As a result various functions (which were all internal
14929 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
14930 structure. This will break anything that messed round
14931 with X509_STORE internally.
14933 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
14934 exact match, rather than just subject name.
14936 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
14937 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
14938 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
14939 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
14940 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
14941 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
14942 entirely (maybe later...).
14944 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
14946 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
14947 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
14948 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
14949 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
14950 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
14951 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
14952 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
14953 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
14955 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
14956 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
14958 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
14959 to customise the verify behaviour.
14963 * Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
14964 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
14968 * When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
14969 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
14970 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
14971 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
14972 request is improperly encoded.
14976 * For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
14977 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
14980 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
14982 *Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr*
14984 * Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
14985 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
14986 words set to zero.)
14990 * Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
14991 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
14992 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
14996 * New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
14997 used for low-level RSA operations. DER public key
14998 BIO/fp routines also added.
15002 * New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
15004 *Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>*
15006 * A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
15007 Nuron (<http://www.nuron.com/>) and is now available in
15008 demos/state_machine.
15012 * New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
15013 generation and verification.
15017 * Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
15018 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
15019 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
15020 encode and decode it manually.
15024 * Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
15025 compile under VC++.
15027 *Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>*
15029 * ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
15030 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
15031 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
15033 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>*
15035 * Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
15036 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
15037 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
15038 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
15039 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
15043 * Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
15047 * Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
15048 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
15049 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
15051 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
15052 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
15053 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
15054 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
15055 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
15056 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
15057 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
15058 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
15060 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
15061 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
15063 On Win32, the `LOG_*` levels are mapped according to this:
15065 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
15066 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
15067 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
15071 * Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
15072 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
15073 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
15074 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
15080 *Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte*
15082 * Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
15086 * The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
15087 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
15088 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
15089 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
15090 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
15091 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
15092 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
15093 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
15094 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
15095 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
15096 short or long names are found.
15100 * Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
15102 *Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>*
15104 * Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
15105 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
15106 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
15107 version rollback attacks was not effective.
15109 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
15110 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
15111 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
15112 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
15116 * Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
15117 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
15118 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
15122 * New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
15123 these print out strings and name structures based on various
15124 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
15125 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
15126 to allow the various flags to be set.
15130 * Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
15131 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
15132 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
15133 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
15134 dates to be checked.
15138 * Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
15139 negative public key encodings) on by default,
15140 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
15144 * New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
15145 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
15146 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
15150 * crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (`CRYPTO_w_[un]lock`),
15151 not read locks (`CRYPTO_r_[un]lock`).
15155 * A first attempt at creating official support for shared
15156 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
15157 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
15158 are always statically linked for now, but there are
15159 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
15160 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
15164 * Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
15165 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
15170 * Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
15175 * New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
15176 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
15177 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
15178 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
15179 form signing output easier to verify.
15183 * Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
15187 * New ASN1 functions, `i2c_*` and `c2i_*` for INTEGER and BIT
15188 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
15189 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
15190 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
15191 are needed because all other string types have virtually
15192 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
15193 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
15194 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
15195 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
15196 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
15200 * Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
15202 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
15203 the syntax given in [crypto/objects/README.md](crypto/objects/README.md).
15204 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
15206 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
15209 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
15210 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
15211 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
15212 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
15213 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
15214 consistent name changes.
15218 * Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
15222 * Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
15223 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
15224 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
15225 environment variable, or the default random state file.
15229 * mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
15230 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
15231 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
15236 * Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
15237 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
15238 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
15239 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
15243 * Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
15244 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
15245 a "stack macro" of the form `SKM_<name>(type, a, b)`. The
15246 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
15247 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
15248 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
15249 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
15250 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
15251 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
15252 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
15253 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
15257 * When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
15258 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
15259 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
15260 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
15261 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
15262 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
15263 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
15264 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
15265 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
15266 algorithm to openssl-dev.
15270 * The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
15271 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
15272 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
15274 *Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>*
15276 * New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
15277 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
15278 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
15279 omit any duplicate addresses.
15283 * Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
15284 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
15288 * Increase maximum window size in `BN_mod_exp_...` to 6 bits instead of 5
15289 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
15290 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
15291 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
15292 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
15296 * Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
15298 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
15299 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
15300 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
15301 Free => OPENSSL_free
15305 * New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
15306 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
15310 * CygWin32 support.
15312 *John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>*
15314 * The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
15315 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
15316 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
15317 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
15318 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
15323 * The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
15324 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
15325 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
15326 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
15327 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
15328 lots of the code, especially `_cmp` operations which should normally
15329 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
15333 * When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
15334 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
15335 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
15336 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
15337 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
15338 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
15339 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
15340 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
15341 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
15342 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
15343 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
15347 * In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
15348 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
15349 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
15350 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
15352 *Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke*
15354 * Major EVP API cipher revision.
15355 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
15356 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
15357 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
15358 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
15360 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
15363 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
15364 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
15365 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
15366 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
15368 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
15370 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
15373 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
15374 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
15375 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
15378 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
15379 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
15380 any installed hardware versions can.
15384 * Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
15385 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
15386 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
15391 * Call dh_tmp_cb (set by `..._TMP_DH_CB`) with correct 'is_export' flag;
15392 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
15393 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
15394 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
15396 *Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra*
15398 * Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
15399 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
15403 * Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
15404 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
15408 * Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
15409 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
15410 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
15415 * Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
15419 * Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
15420 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
15421 but no ssl client purpose.
15423 *Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>*
15425 * Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
15426 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
15427 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
15428 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
15429 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
15430 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
15431 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
15432 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
15433 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
15434 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
15435 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
15439 * Bugfixes in `apps/x509.c`: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
15440 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
15441 be obtained from the error queue.
15445 * Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
15446 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
15447 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
15448 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
15452 * Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
15456 * RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
15457 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
15458 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
15459 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
15460 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
15464 * Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
15465 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
15466 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
15467 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
15468 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
15472 * New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
15473 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
15474 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
15477 *Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller*
15479 * CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
15480 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
15481 new functions (`NCONF_*`, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
15482 old `CONF_*` functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
15483 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
15484 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
15485 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
15486 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
15487 configuration file in XML format, for example), called `_CONF_*`,
15488 or "the configuration storage API"...
15490 The new configuration file reading functions are:
15492 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
15493 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
15495 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
15497 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
15499 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
15500 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
15501 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
15502 `NCONF_dump_*` dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
15503 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
15504 arguments as the old `CONF_*` functions with the exception of the
15505 first that must be a `CONF *` instead of a `LHASH *`.
15507 To make it easier to use the new classes with the old `CONF_*` functions,
15508 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
15512 * Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
15513 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
15514 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
15515 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
15519 * Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
15520 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
15521 them in a portable way.
15523 *Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte*
15525 ### Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
15527 * Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
15529 * Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
15530 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
15532 * Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
15533 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
15534 *Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
15535 <attili@amaxo.com>*
15537 * Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
15538 was larger than the MD block size.
15540 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>*
15542 * Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
15543 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
15544 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
15545 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
15550 * des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
15551 *Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
15552 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>*
15554 * Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
15557 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>*
15559 * For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
15560 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
15561 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
15562 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
15563 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
15564 Additional arguments are always ignored.
15566 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
15567 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
15569 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
15570 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
15574 * Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
15578 * For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
15579 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
15581 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
15582 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
15583 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
15584 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
15588 * New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
15589 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
15590 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
15591 does not suppress any output.
15595 * Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
15596 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
15597 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
15598 with all the associated security issues.
15600 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
15601 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
15602 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
15603 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
15604 use the value in the default purpose.
15608 * Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
15609 and fix a memory leak.
15613 * In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
15614 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
15615 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
15616 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
15620 * In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
15621 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
15622 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
15623 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
15627 * Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
15628 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
15629 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
15633 * Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
15634 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
15638 * The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
15639 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
15644 * In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
15645 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
15649 * Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
15650 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
15651 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
15655 * Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
15656 number generation fails.
15660 * New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
15664 * Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
15666 *Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>*
15668 * Assembler module support for Mingw32.
15672 * Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
15674 *Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous*
15676 * Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
15678 *Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>*
15680 ### Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
15682 * PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
15683 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
15687 * In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
15689 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>*
15691 * BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
15692 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
15696 * Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
15697 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
15698 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
15699 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
15700 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
15702 *Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>*
15704 * Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
15705 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
15706 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
15711 * Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
15712 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
15713 and has to call `..._free`; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
15714 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
15715 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
15716 counter, some don't.)
15717 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
15718 counters or duplicate objects.
15722 * Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
15723 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
15727 * Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
15728 *Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
15729 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>*
15731 * Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
15732 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
15733 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
15738 * Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
15739 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
15743 * Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
15744 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
15745 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
15750 * Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
15751 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
15752 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
15756 * `..._ctrl` functions now have corresponding `..._callback_ctrl` functions
15757 where the `void *` argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
15758 Previously `void *` was abused to point to functions, which works on
15759 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
15760 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
15761 should work without changes.
15765 * `<openssl/opensslconf.h>` (which is created by Configure) now contains
15766 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
15767 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
15768 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol `OPENSSL_..._DEFINES`
15769 must be defined. E.g.,
15770 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
15771 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
15772 defines all pertinent `NO_<algo>` symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
15774 *Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller*
15776 * Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
15781 * Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
15782 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
15783 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
15787 * Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
15788 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
15789 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
15790 request header lines. Some software needs this.
15794 * Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
15795 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
15796 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
15797 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
15798 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
15799 is prompted for as usual.
15803 * Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
15804 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
15805 autodetect the card and use it if present.
15807 *Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.*
15809 * Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
15810 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
15811 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
15812 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
15816 * HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
15820 * Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
15825 * New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
15829 * Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
15833 * Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
15838 * More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
15842 * ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
15846 * Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
15847 equal (it gave wrong results if `(rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0)`.
15851 * Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
15852 options to produce them.
15856 * New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
15857 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
15861 * Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
15866 * Change the `SSLeay_add_all_*()` functions to `OpenSSL_add_all_*()` and
15867 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
15868 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
15869 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
15870 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
15871 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
15872 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
15876 * Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
15880 * Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
15881 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
15882 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
15886 * Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
15888 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>*
15890 * Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
15891 use `void *` instead of `char *` in lhash.
15895 * Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
15896 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
15897 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
15902 * Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
15903 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
15905 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
15906 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
15907 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
15908 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
15909 generation becomes much faster.
15911 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
15912 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
15913 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
15914 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
15915 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
15916 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
15917 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
15918 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
15919 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
15920 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
15924 * New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
15925 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
15926 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
15927 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
15928 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
15929 trial division stage.
15933 * Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
15938 * New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
15942 * New function BN_pseudo_rand().
15946 * Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
15947 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
15948 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
15953 * Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
15954 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
15955 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
15959 * The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
15960 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
15961 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
15963 *Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller*
15965 * Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
15966 used `char *` instead of `void *` and had casts all over the place.
15970 * Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
15974 * Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
15975 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
15976 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
15977 Rabin-Miller iterations.
15981 * Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
15982 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
15983 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
15987 * Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
15988 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
15989 (instead of parameters) in future.
15993 * Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
15994 when a new cipher list is set.
15998 * Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
15999 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
16002 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
16003 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
16004 The new command is `@STRENGTH` (see also `doc/apps/ciphers.pod`).
16006 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
16007 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
16008 *A-Za-z0-9*, ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
16009 an error is flagged.
16011 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
16012 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
16013 the readability was also increased :-)
16015 *Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>*
16017 * Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
16018 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
16019 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
16020 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
16025 * Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
16026 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
16030 * Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
16031 `X509_*()` to `X509at_*()` on the grounds that they don't handle X509
16032 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
16033 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
16036 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
16037 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
16038 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
16039 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
16040 because they handle more complex structures.)
16044 * Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
16045 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
16046 NO_RSA in `ssl/s2*.c`.
16048 *Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller*
16050 * Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
16051 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
16052 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
16053 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
16054 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
16055 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
16056 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
16060 * Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
16061 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
16062 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
16063 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
16064 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
16068 * Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
16072 * New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
16073 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
16074 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
16075 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
16076 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
16079 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
16084 * Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
16085 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
16086 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
16087 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
16091 * Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
16095 * Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
16096 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
16097 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
16098 international characters are used.
16100 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
16101 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
16102 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
16107 * Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
16108 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
16109 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
16112 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
16113 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
16114 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
16115 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
16116 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
16117 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
16119 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
16120 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
16121 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
16122 be handled by the string table functions.
16124 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
16125 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
16126 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
16127 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
16128 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
16133 * Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
16134 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
16135 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
16136 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
16137 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
16139 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
16140 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
16141 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
16142 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
16146 * Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
16147 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
16148 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
16149 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
16150 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
16155 * Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
16156 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
16157 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
16158 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
16159 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
16160 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
16161 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
16162 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
16164 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
16165 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
16166 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
16170 * Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
16171 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
16172 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
16173 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
16174 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
16175 support to pkcs8 application.
16179 * SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
16180 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
16181 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
16182 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
16183 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
16184 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
16188 * In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
16189 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
16190 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
16191 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
16192 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
16197 * Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
16198 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
16199 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
16200 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
16205 * Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
16206 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
16207 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
16208 and any application specific purposes.
16210 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
16211 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
16212 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
16213 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
16214 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
16215 if the certificate is self signed.
16219 * Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
16220 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
16224 * Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
16225 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
16226 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
16227 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
16231 * Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
16232 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
16233 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
16234 Update documentation.
16238 * Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
16239 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
16240 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
16241 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
16242 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
16246 * Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
16249 *Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>*
16251 * Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
16252 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
16253 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
16254 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
16255 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
16256 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
16257 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
16258 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
16259 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
16260 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
16262 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
16264 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
16265 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
16266 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
16267 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
16268 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
16270 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
16271 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
16272 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
16273 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
16274 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
16275 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
16276 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
16277 request additional information:
16278 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
16279 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
16281 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
16282 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
16283 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
16286 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
16287 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
16289 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
16290 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
16293 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
16295 *Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller*
16297 * Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
16298 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
16299 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
16304 * Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
16305 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
16307 *Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson*
16309 * Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
16310 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
16311 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
16312 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
16313 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
16314 included in OpenSSL.
16318 * Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
16319 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
16320 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
16321 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
16322 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
16323 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
16327 * New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
16332 * Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
16333 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
16334 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
16335 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
16336 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
16341 * Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
16346 * Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
16347 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
16348 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
16349 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
16350 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
16351 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
16352 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
16353 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
16354 be maintained manually.
16356 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
16357 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
16358 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
16359 Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
16360 work because people forget to call this function.
16361 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
16362 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
16363 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
16367 * Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
16368 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
16369 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
16370 should be discouraged from doing it.
16374 * Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
16375 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
16376 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
16377 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
16378 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
16379 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
16383 * Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
16384 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
16385 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
16387 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
16388 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
16389 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
16391 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
16392 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
16393 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
16394 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
16395 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
16396 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
16398 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
16399 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
16400 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
16402 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
16403 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
16406 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
16407 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
16408 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
16409 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
16413 * Support for the authority information access extension.
16417 * Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
16418 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
16419 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
16420 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
16421 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
16422 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
16423 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
16424 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
16425 keys so we should be OK.
16427 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
16428 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
16429 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
16430 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
16431 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
16432 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
16433 stay in the name of compatibility.
16435 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
16436 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
16437 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
16439 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
16440 Also rename the `EVP_PKEY_get_*()` to `EVP_PKEY_rget_*()`
16441 (renamed to `EVP_PKEY_get1_*()` in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
16442 `EVP_PKEY_rset_*()` functions (renamed to `EVP_PKEY_set1_*()`)
16443 that do the same as the `EVP_PKEY_assign_*()` except they up the
16444 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
16449 * Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
16450 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
16451 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
16452 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
16453 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
16454 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
16455 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
16456 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
16457 in `apps/verify.c` to take notice of return codes: it was previously
16458 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
16459 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
16460 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
16461 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
16465 * Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
16469 * First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
16470 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
16471 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
16472 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
16473 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
16474 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
16475 single self signed certificate. This means that:
16476 openssl verify ss.pem
16477 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
16478 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
16483 * For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
16484 (and add it to external session representation).
16485 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
16486 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
16487 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
16488 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
16489 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
16490 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
16493 *Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke*
16495 * Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
16496 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
16497 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
16499 *Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson*
16501 * Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
16502 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
16503 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
16507 * New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
16508 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
16509 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
16514 * SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
16515 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
16517 *Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>*
16519 * Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
16520 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
16521 certificate auxiliary information.
16525 * Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
16530 * Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
16531 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
16532 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
16533 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
16534 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
16535 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
16536 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
16540 * Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
16541 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
16545 * Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
16546 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
16547 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
16548 manpages and fix a few bugs.
16552 * Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
16556 * Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
16557 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
16561 * Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
16562 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
16563 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
16564 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
16565 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
16566 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
16567 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
16568 using the new 'x509' options.
16570 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
16571 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
16572 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
16573 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
16578 * Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or `*BSD`).
16579 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
16580 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
16581 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
16582 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
16586 * Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
16587 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
16588 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
16589 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
16590 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
16591 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
16592 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
16593 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
16594 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
16595 the key length and effective key length are equal.
16599 * Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
16600 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
16601 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
16602 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
16603 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
16604 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
16605 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
16609 * Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
16610 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
16611 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
16612 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
16613 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
16614 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
16615 openssl.cnf for more info.
16619 * Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
16620 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
16621 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
16622 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
16623 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
16624 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
16625 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
16626 md should be large enough anyway.
16630 * New file `apps/app_rand.c` with commonly needed functionality
16631 for handling the random seed file.
16633 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
16635 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
16638 x509 (when signing).
16639 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
16640 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
16641 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
16643 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
16644 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
16645 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
16646 that support '-rand'.
16650 * In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
16651 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
16655 * Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
16656 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
16660 * New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
16661 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
16662 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
16663 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
16668 * Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
16669 macros are retained with an `M_` prefix. Code inside the library can
16670 use the `M_` macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
16671 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
16675 * Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
16676 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
16677 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
16678 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
16679 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
16680 print out all the purposes.
16684 * Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
16689 * New `X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i()` functions. These will search
16690 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
16691 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
16692 single function call.
16696 * RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
16697 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
16701 * New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
16702 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
16703 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
16707 * Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
16708 when producing the local key id.
16710 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
16712 * New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
16713 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
16714 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
16719 * Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
16720 a public key to be input or output. For example:
16721 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
16722 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
16726 * Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
16727 in the message. This was handled by allowing
16728 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
16730 *Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>*
16732 * Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
16733 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
16734 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
16736 *Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
16738 * Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
16739 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
16740 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
16741 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
16742 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
16743 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
16744 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
16745 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
16746 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
16747 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
16748 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
16749 trivial: move one line.
16751 *Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer)*
16753 * Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
16754 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
16755 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
16756 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
16757 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
16758 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
16759 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
16760 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
16761 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
16762 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
16763 with an event loop for example.
16767 * Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
16768 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
16769 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
16770 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
16771 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
16772 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
16773 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
16774 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
16775 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
16779 * Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
16780 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
16781 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
16782 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
16783 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
16784 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
16788 * Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
16789 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
16790 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
16792 *Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller*
16794 * Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
16795 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
16796 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
16797 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
16802 * Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
16803 (still largely untested)
16807 * New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
16808 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
16812 * New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
16813 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
16817 * Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
16818 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
16819 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
16823 * Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
16824 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
16825 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
16826 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
16827 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
16831 * RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
16835 * Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
16836 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
16837 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
16838 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
16839 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
16844 * Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
16845 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
16848 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
16852 * Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
16853 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
16854 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
16855 are otherwise ignored at present.
16859 * Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
16860 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
16861 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
16862 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
16863 copied until the next read.
16867 * Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
16868 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
16869 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
16873 * Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
16874 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
16875 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
16876 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
16877 library. Also added low-level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
16878 associated functions.
16882 * Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
16883 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
16884 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
16885 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
16886 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
16887 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
16888 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
16889 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
16890 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
16895 * Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
16896 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
16897 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
16898 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
16902 * The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
16903 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
16904 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
16905 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
16906 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
16911 * Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
16912 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
16917 * Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
16918 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
16919 extensions to be obtained and added.
16923 * -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
16924 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
16928 ### Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
16930 * Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
16932 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
16934 * A few more `#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif` pairs for consistency.
16936 *Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>*
16938 * Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
16943 * New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
16944 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
16945 DH parameters contain its length).
16947 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
16948 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
16949 where `p = 2*q + 1`), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
16950 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
16951 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
16952 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
16953 utter importance to use
16954 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
16956 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
16957 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
16958 attacks may become possible!
16962 * Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
16966 * Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
16967 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
16971 * New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
16972 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
16973 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
16978 * Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
16979 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
16980 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
16981 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
16982 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
16983 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
16984 private key operations.
16988 * Added support for SPARC Linux.
16992 * pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
16993 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
16995 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
16996 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
16997 The `PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}...` functions and macros now take an
16998 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
16999 the password callback is called.
17001 *Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller*
17003 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
17005 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
17006 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
17007 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
17008 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
17009 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
17010 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
17013 * The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
17014 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
17015 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
17016 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
17017 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
17018 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
17022 * MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
17026 * More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
17027 delete an unused file.
17031 * Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
17032 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
17033 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
17034 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
17038 * Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
17039 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
17040 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
17045 * New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
17046 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
17048 *Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller*
17050 * Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
17051 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
17052 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
17053 comparison" warnings.
17054 3. Add `sk_<TYPE>_sort` to DEF file generator and do make update.
17058 * Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
17059 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
17060 derived keys are printed to stderr.
17064 * Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
17066 *Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>*
17068 * The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
17069 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
17071 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
17072 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
17073 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
17075 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
17076 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
17077 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
17078 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
17079 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
17082 *Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>*
17084 * Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
17085 The interface is as follows:
17086 Applications can use
17087 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
17088 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
17089 "off" is now the default.
17090 The library internally uses
17091 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
17092 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
17093 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
17095 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
17096 even the default) are now avoided.
17098 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
17099 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
17100 than just having a counter.
17102 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
17104 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
17109 * Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
17110 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
17111 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
17112 Initial "mode" flags are:
17114 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
17115 a single record has been written.
17116 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
17117 retries use the same buffer location.
17118 (But all of the contents must be
17123 * Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
17126 * Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
17128 *Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>*
17130 * New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
17131 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
17132 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
17136 * Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
17137 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
17140 *Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller*
17142 * Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
17143 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
17144 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
17145 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
17147 *Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>*
17149 * Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
17150 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
17151 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
17152 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
17153 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
17154 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
17158 * Complete the `PEM_*` macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
17159 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
17160 necessary function names.
17164 * mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
17165 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
17166 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
17167 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
17171 * New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
17172 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
17173 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
17177 * New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
17178 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
17179 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
17180 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
17182 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
17187 * Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
17188 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
17189 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
17193 * New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
17194 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
17199 * Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
17200 for the encoded length.
17202 *Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>*
17204 * Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
17208 * Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
17209 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
17210 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
17211 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
17215 * Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
17216 *directory* in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
17218 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17220 * Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
17221 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
17222 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
17223 unusual formatting.
17227 * Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
17228 to use the new extension code.
17232 * Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
17233 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
17234 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
17239 * Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
17240 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
17241 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
17245 * DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
17249 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
17250 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
17251 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
17254 * When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
17255 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
17256 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
17257 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
17261 * DES library cleanups.
17265 * Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
17266 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
17267 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
17268 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
17269 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
17274 * Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
17275 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
17279 * Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
17280 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
17281 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
17282 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
17283 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
17284 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
17285 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
17286 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
17287 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
17291 * Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
17292 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
17293 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
17294 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
17295 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
17296 value doesn't matter.
17300 * Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
17305 * "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
17307 *Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>*
17308 "linux-sparc" configuration.
17310 *Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>*
17312 * config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
17316 * Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
17317 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
17319 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>*
17321 * Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
17323 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>*
17325 * Make callbacks for key generation use `void *` instead of `char *`.
17329 * Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
17333 * Additional typesafe stacks.
17337 * New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
17341 ### Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
17343 * New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
17345 * Updated some demos.
17347 *Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine*
17349 * Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
17353 * Fix memory leak in conf.c.
17357 * Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
17361 * Set #! path to perl in `apps/der_chop` to where we found it
17362 instead of using a fixed path.
17366 * SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
17370 * Improvements for VMS support.
17374 ### Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
17376 * Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
17377 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
17379 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
17381 * New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
17382 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
17383 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
17384 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
17385 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
17386 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
17387 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
17388 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
17389 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
17390 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
17394 * Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
17395 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
17399 * Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
17400 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
17401 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
17402 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
17403 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
17405 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
17409 * Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
17410 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
17411 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
17415 * Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
17419 * Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
17420 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
17421 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
17422 key elements as negative integers.
17426 * Reorganize and speed up MD5.
17428 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
17432 *Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>*
17434 * New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
17435 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
17436 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
17440 * Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
17441 that `SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state` be called before
17442 `SSL_{accept,connect}` may be used (`SSL_set_..._state` is omitted
17443 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
17444 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
17448 * Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
17452 * Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass "egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
17453 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
17454 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline" with EGCS 1.1.2+
17456 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17458 * Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
17459 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
17461 *Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve*
17463 * Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
17464 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
17465 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
17466 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to `s->ctx->[default_]cert`
17467 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
17468 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
17469 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
17470 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
17471 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
17473 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
17474 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
17475 Changing settings for an `SSL_CTX *ctx` after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
17476 does not influence s as it used to.
17478 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
17479 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
17480 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
17481 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
17482 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
17483 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
17487 * New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
17488 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
17489 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
17494 * Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
17495 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
17496 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
17501 * Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
17502 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
17503 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
17508 * Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
17509 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
17513 * Support Borland C++ builder.
17515 *Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller*
17521 * SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
17523 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
17525 * Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
17527 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
17529 * Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
17533 * Update HPUX configuration.
17537 * Add missing `sk_<type>_unshift()` function to safestack.h
17539 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17541 * New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
17542 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
17543 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
17548 * Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
17549 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
17550 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
17551 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
17552 now it really counts the depth.
17556 * Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
17557 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
17558 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
17559 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
17560 didn't match the private key).
17562 * New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
17563 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
17564 connection using the SSL_CTX).
17568 * OAEP decoding bug fix.
17572 * Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
17577 * New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
17578 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
17579 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
17583 * New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
17587 * Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
17588 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
17589 such as /usr/local/bin.
17593 * "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
17595 *Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>*
17597 * New Configure option `no-<cipher>` (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
17601 * Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
17602 extension adding in x509 utility.
17606 * Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
17610 * Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
17615 * New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
17619 * Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
17620 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
17621 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
17622 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
17623 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
17624 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
17625 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code embedded
17626 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
17627 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
17628 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
17632 * Change #include filenames from `<foo.h>` to `<openssl/foo.h>`.
17636 * Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
17637 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
17641 * Fix some race conditions.
17645 * Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
17646 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
17650 * Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
17654 * Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
17655 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
17656 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
17658 *Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>*
17660 * Fix lots of warnings.
17662 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
17664 * In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
17665 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
17667 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
17669 * Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
17671 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
17673 * Change functions to ANSI C.
17677 * Fix typos in error codes.
17679 *Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller*
17681 * Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
17685 * SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
17687 *Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>*
17689 * Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
17690 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
17694 * A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
17695 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
17699 * Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
17700 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
17704 * Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
17705 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
17709 * Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
17710 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
17714 * Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
17715 support typesafe stack.
17719 * Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
17721 *Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>*
17723 * Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
17724 old X509V3 handling code.
17728 * New Configure option "rsaref".
17732 * Don't auto-generate pem.h.
17736 * Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
17740 * Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
17742 *Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson*
17744 * Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
17745 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
17746 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
17747 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
17748 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
17752 * Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>` facility which revokes a certificate
17753 specified in `<certfile>` by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
17754 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
17755 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
17757 *Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall*
17759 * Fix `openssl crl -noout -text` combination where `-noout` killed the
17760 `-text` option at all and this way the `-noout -text` combination was
17761 inconsistent in `openssl crl` with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa`.
17763 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17765 * Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
17766 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
17767 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
17769 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17771 * Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test `openssl <cipher>` for
17772 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
17773 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
17774 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
17775 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
17776 `openssl list-cipher-commands` is used.
17780 * Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
17781 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
17785 * New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
17786 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
17790 * Tweaks to Configure
17792 *Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>*
17794 * Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
17799 * New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
17803 * New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
17804 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
17808 * Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
17809 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
17810 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
17814 * New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
17818 * Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
17819 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
17823 * More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
17824 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
17825 to library startup routines.
17829 * Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
17830 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
17831 codes along the way.
17835 * PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
17836 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
17837 objects to objects.h
17841 * Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
17842 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
17846 * Add LinuxPPC support.
17848 *Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>*
17850 * Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
17851 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
17853 *Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie*
17855 * Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
17856 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
17858 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
17860 * Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
17861 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
17863 *Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>*
17865 ### Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
17867 * Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
17868 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
17872 * Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
17873 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
17874 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
17875 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
17877 *Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)*
17879 * Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
17880 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
17881 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
17884 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
17886 * Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
17889 *Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve*
17891 * Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
17893 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
17895 * Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
17896 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
17897 if someone would make that last step automatic.
17899 *Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>*
17901 * ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
17905 * Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
17906 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
17907 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
17908 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
17912 * Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
17913 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
17914 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
17918 * Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
17919 /path/to/bin/perl` in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin`,
17920 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5` (which is
17921 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
17922 installed as `perl`).
17924 *Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>*
17926 * Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
17928 *Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>*
17930 * Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
17931 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
17932 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
17933 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
17934 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
17938 * DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
17942 * Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
17943 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
17944 is horrible: I feel ill....
17948 * Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
17949 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
17950 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
17951 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
17955 * Make `openssl version` output lines consistent.
17957 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17959 * Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
17960 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
17961 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
17963 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17965 * Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
17966 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
17967 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
17968 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
17969 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
17970 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
17973 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
17975 * Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
17977 *Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie*
17979 * Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
17981 *John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>*
17983 * Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
17987 * Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
17988 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
17993 * Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
17994 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
17995 Configure script every time: One now can use
17996 `perl Configure <id>:<details>`,
17997 i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
17998 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
17999 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key `<id>` with value
18000 `<details>` and `perl Configure <id>` is called. So, when you want to
18001 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
18002 assembler stuff you can use `perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"`
18003 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
18005 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18007 * Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
18011 * Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
18012 on the `perl Configure ...` command line. This way one can compile
18013 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
18014 for linking it into DSOs.
18016 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18018 * Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
18023 * Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
18024 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
18025 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
18026 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
18027 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
18029 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18031 * General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...`
18032 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm` by `rm`.
18033 Additionally cleaned up the `make links` target: Remove unnecessary
18034 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
18035 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
18036 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
18038 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18040 * Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
18041 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
18042 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
18047 * Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
18048 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
18049 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
18050 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
18054 * Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
18055 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
18056 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
18057 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
18058 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
18063 * Added the new 'Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
18064 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
18065 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
18066 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
18068 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18070 * Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
18071 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
18073 *Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>*
18075 * Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
18077 *Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>*
18079 * Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
18080 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
18081 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
18082 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
18083 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
18087 * Add new certificate file to stack functions,
18088 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
18089 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
18090 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
18091 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
18092 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
18093 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
18097 * Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
18099 See <http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html>, and run doxygen with
18100 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
18104 * Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
18106 *Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual*
18108 * Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
18109 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
18113 * Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
18114 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
18115 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
18116 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
18117 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
18119 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
18120 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
18121 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
18122 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
18123 no way to reconfigure them.
18124 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
18125 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
18126 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
18127 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
18128 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
18130 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18132 * Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
18133 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
18134 recognized by the users.
18136 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18138 * Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
18139 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
18140 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
18141 already masked variable.
18143 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
18145 * Fix `port` variable from `int` to `unsigned int` in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
18147 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
18149 * Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
18150 from `int` to `unsigned int` because it is a length and initialized by
18151 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *`.
18153 *Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>*
18155 * Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
18156 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
18158 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18160 * Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus`' functional also for DSA certificates
18161 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
18162 -noout -modulus` as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
18163 -modulus`. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
18164 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
18165 `openssl dsa -modulus` in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
18166 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
18167 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
18170 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18172 * Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
18173 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
18175 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
18177 * Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
18178 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
18183 * Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
18185 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie*
18187 * Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
18188 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
18189 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
18190 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
18194 * Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
18198 * Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
18200 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>*
18202 * Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
18206 * Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
18207 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
18211 * Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
18212 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
18216 * Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
18217 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
18218 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
18219 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
18220 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
18221 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
18222 *Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
18225 * Updates to the new SSL compression code
18227 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
18229 * Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
18230 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
18231 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
18232 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
18234 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
18236 * Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL commands. Fixed *lots* of memory
18237 leaks in `ssl/` relating to new `X509_get_pubkey()` behaviour. Also fixes
18238 in `apps/` and an unrelated leak in `crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c`.
18242 * Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
18243 created by including its DER encoding. See `apps/openssl.cnf` for
18248 * Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
18249 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
18251 *Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>*
18253 * Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
18254 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
18255 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
18256 build instructions.
18260 * Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
18261 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
18262 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
18263 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
18267 * Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
18268 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
18269 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
18270 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
18274 * Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
18275 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
18276 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
18277 so it wasn't spotted.
18279 *Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>*
18281 * Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
18282 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
18283 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
18284 vectors if you have them.
18288 * Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
18289 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
18293 * Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
18294 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
18295 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
18296 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
18298 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
18299 it will update them.
18303 * Overhauled the Perl interface:
18304 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
18305 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
18306 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
18307 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
18308 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
18309 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
18311 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18313 * First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
18314 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
18315 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
18316 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
18317 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
18318 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
18319 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
18320 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
18321 the crypto/md/ stuff).
18323 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18325 * More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
18326 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
18327 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
18328 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
18329 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
18333 * Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
18338 * Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
18340 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
18342 * Make sure `make rehash` target really finds the `openssl` program.
18344 *Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>*
18346 * Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
18347 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
18351 * Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
18353 *Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>*
18355 * Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm` -> `no-asm`
18357 *Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>*
18359 * New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
18363 * Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
18368 * Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
18369 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
18370 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
18372 *Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)*
18374 * Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
18378 * Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
18382 * Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
18386 * Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
18387 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
18391 * More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
18392 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
18397 * Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
18398 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
18402 * Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
18403 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
18404 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
18408 * Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
18409 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
18410 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
18411 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
18412 properly to be processed.
18416 * Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
18417 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
18418 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
18422 * Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
18424 *Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>*
18426 * Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
18427 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
18428 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
18429 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
18430 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
18431 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
18432 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
18433 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
18434 or delete all the .err files.
18438 * CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
18439 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
18440 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
18441 to regenerate it if needed.
18442 *Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
18443 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>*
18445 * File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
18447 *Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>*
18449 * Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
18450 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
18451 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
18452 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
18453 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
18457 * Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
18459 *Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>*
18461 * Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
18463 *Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
18465 * Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
18466 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
18467 error, but didn't set one).
18469 *Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
18471 * Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
18475 * Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
18476 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
18480 * Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
18482 *Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>*
18484 * The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
18485 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
18486 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
18487 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
18488 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
18489 OID is not part of the table.
18493 * Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
18494 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
18498 * Sort openssl functions by name.
18502 * Get the `gendsa` command working and add it to the `list` command. Remove
18503 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
18508 * Make *all* `*_free` functions accept a NULL pointer.
18510 *Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>*
18512 * If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
18515 *Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
18517 * s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
18519 *Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>*
18521 * Don't blow it for numeric `-newkey` arguments to `apps/req`.
18523 *Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>*
18525 * Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
18527 *Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>*
18529 * Add prototype for temp key callback functions
18530 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
18534 * Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
18535 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
18539 * X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
18541 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
18543 * rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
18545 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
18547 * BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
18549 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
18551 * BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
18553 *Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>*
18555 * Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
18556 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
18557 unused in the certificate verification process.
18559 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18561 * Fix the various library and `apps/` files to free up pkeys obtained from
18562 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
18566 * Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
18567 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
18569 *Steve Henson and Ben Laurie*
18571 * First cut of a cleanup for `apps/`. First the `ssleay` program is now named
18572 `openssl` and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>`
18573 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
18574 line interface `openssl <command>`, similar to `cvs <command>`.
18576 *Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie*
18578 * ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
18579 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
18583 * Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
18587 * Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
18591 * Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
18592 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
18594 * Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
18598 * Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
18602 * Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
18606 * Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
18607 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
18608 other error libraries.
18612 * Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
18616 * Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
18617 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
18622 * Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
18623 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
18624 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
18625 the new set of documentation files.
18627 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18629 * SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
18630 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
18631 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
18632 number of arguments.
18634 *Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>*
18636 * Fix test data to work with the above.
18640 * Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
18641 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
18643 *Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>*
18645 * Autodetect FreeBSD3.
18649 * Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
18653 unixware-2.0-pentium
18658 * Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
18659 before they are needed.
18663 * Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
18667 ### Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
18669 * Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
18670 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
18672 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18674 * Some fixups to the top-level documents.
18678 * Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
18679 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
18681 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18683 * Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
18684 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
18686 *Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall*
18688 * Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links`
18689 when "ssleay" is still not found.
18691 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18693 * Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
18695 *Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>*
18697 * Updated the README file.
18699 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18701 * Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
18702 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
18704 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18706 * Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
18707 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
18709 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18711 * Cleaned up the top-level documents;
18712 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
18713 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
18714 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
18715 o removed obsolete TODO file
18716 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
18718 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18720 * Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
18721 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
18722 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
18723 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
18724 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
18725 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
18727 *Ralf S. Engelschall*
18729 * Added various platform portability fixes.
18733 * The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
18734 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
18735 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
18738 *The OpenSSL Project*
18740 ### Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
18742 * Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
18746 * Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
18750 * Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
18751 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
18755 * New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
18756 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
18761 * Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
18764 *Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>*
18766 * Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
18770 * DSA fix for "ca" program.
18774 * Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
18778 * Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
18782 * Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
18786 * Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
18790 * Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
18794 * Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
18798 * Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
18802 * Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
18806 * Fixed the weak key values in DES library
18810 * Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
18814 * Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
18818 * Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
18822 * Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
18826 * Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
18830 * Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
18834 * Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
18835 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
18836 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
18840 * Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
18841 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
18845 * Additional PKCS1 checks.
18849 * Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
18853 * Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
18854 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
18858 * Fixed a few memory leaks.
18862 * Fixed various code and comment typos.
18866 * A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
