5 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
8 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
11 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
12 the apps/openssl applications.
15 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
16 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
17 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
20 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
21 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
23 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
24 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
26 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
27 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
28 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
29 avoid this algorithm.)
33 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
34 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
35 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
38 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
39 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
42 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
43 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
44 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
47 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
49 The blank line is mandatory.
53 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
54 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
58 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
59 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
61 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
62 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
63 to support policy checking and print out.
66 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
67 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
68 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
69 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
71 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
74 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
75 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
77 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
78 implementation contributed by IBM.
79 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
81 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
82 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
83 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
84 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
86 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
87 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
89 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
90 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
91 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
92 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
93 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
94 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
97 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
98 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
99 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
100 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
101 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
102 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
103 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
106 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
109 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
110 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
111 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
112 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
113 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
114 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
115 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
116 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
119 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
120 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
121 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
122 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
125 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
128 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
131 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
132 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
133 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
134 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
135 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
136 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
140 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
141 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
144 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
145 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
146 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
149 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
150 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
151 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
155 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
156 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
159 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
160 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
161 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
162 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
165 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
166 initialised value as BN_new().
167 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
169 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
172 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
173 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
174 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
175 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
176 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
177 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
178 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
179 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
180 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
181 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
182 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
183 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
184 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
185 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
186 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
188 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
189 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
190 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
191 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
194 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
195 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
196 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
197 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
198 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
199 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
200 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
201 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
202 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
205 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
206 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
207 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
208 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
209 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
210 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
211 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
214 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
215 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
216 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
217 these have been updated also.
220 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
221 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
222 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
223 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
224 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
228 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
229 structure of type "other".
232 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
233 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
234 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
235 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
236 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
237 situation in the script.
238 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
240 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
241 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
242 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
243 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
244 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
245 used as premaster secret.
246 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
248 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
249 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
250 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
252 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
253 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
255 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
256 control of the error stack.
259 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
262 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
263 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
264 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
265 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
268 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
269 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
270 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
273 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
274 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
275 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
279 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
280 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
281 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
282 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
285 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
286 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
287 the following flags are defined:
289 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
290 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
291 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
294 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
295 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
296 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
297 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
301 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
302 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
303 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
304 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
305 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
308 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
309 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
310 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
313 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
314 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
315 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
316 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
317 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
318 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
321 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
325 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
328 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
331 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
334 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
335 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
336 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
337 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
338 default implementation more easily.
341 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
345 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
346 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
349 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
350 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
351 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
352 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
354 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
355 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
356 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
360 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
361 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
365 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
366 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
367 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
368 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
369 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
371 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
373 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
374 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
375 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
379 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
380 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
381 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
382 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
383 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
384 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
385 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
386 linker additions, eg;
387 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
390 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
391 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
392 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
395 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
396 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
397 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
401 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
402 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
403 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
404 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
407 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
408 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
409 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
410 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
411 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
412 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
413 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
414 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
415 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
416 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
418 Example for using the new callback interface:
420 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
424 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
426 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
427 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
428 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
429 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
430 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
431 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
436 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
437 available to TLS with the number defined in
438 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
441 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
442 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
444 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
445 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
446 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
447 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
449 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
450 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
452 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
453 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
457 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
458 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
461 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating new macros that behave like
464 void BN_set_sign(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
465 int BN_get_sign(const BIGNUM *a);
467 and avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
468 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
470 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
471 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
472 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
474 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
476 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
479 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
480 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
481 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
482 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
484 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
485 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
486 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
487 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
488 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
489 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
490 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
491 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
493 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
494 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
497 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
498 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
500 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
501 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
502 files while avoiding the low level API.
504 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
505 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
506 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
507 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
509 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
510 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
511 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
512 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
513 instead of the low level API.
516 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
517 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
518 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
519 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
520 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
523 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
524 down to the template encoder.
527 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
528 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
531 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
532 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
533 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
534 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
536 *) Add ECDH engine support.
537 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
539 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
540 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
542 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
543 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
546 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
547 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
548 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
551 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
552 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
554 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
555 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
557 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
558 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
561 EC_GF2m_simple_method
565 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
566 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
567 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
568 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
569 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
570 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
572 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
573 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
576 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
577 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
578 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
579 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
580 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
581 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
582 various internal method names.)
584 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
585 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
587 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
588 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
590 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
591 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
593 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
594 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
595 methods are undefined.
597 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
598 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
600 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
601 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
602 length of the modulus.
604 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
605 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
607 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
608 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
610 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
611 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
613 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
614 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
615 used) in the following functions [macros]:
618 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
619 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
620 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
621 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
623 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
624 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
625 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
626 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
628 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
629 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
631 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
632 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
633 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
634 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
635 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
637 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
638 This applies to the following functions:
643 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
644 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
647 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
651 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
656 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
658 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
659 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
660 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
661 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
662 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
664 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
665 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
667 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
668 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
669 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
671 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
672 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
674 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
675 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
676 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
677 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
678 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
680 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
682 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
683 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
684 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
685 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
686 These control ASN1 encoding details:
687 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
688 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
689 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
690 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
691 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
692 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
693 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
695 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
699 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
700 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
701 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
703 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
704 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
705 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
706 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
713 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
714 EC_POINT_oct2point().
715 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
717 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
718 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
719 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
721 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
722 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
723 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
724 adding different types of curves.
725 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
727 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
728 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
729 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
732 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
733 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
735 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
736 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
737 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
738 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
740 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
742 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
743 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
745 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
746 library. Most notably,
747 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
748 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
749 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
750 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
751 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
752 extracted before the specific public key;
753 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
754 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
756 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
757 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
759 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
760 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
761 EC_get_builtin_curves().
762 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
766 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
768 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
769 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
770 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
771 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
772 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
773 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
777 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [XX xxx xxxx]
779 *) Undo Cygwin change.
782 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
784 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
785 server and client random values. Previously
786 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
787 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
789 This change has negligible security impact because:
791 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
794 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
797 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
798 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
801 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
804 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
806 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
809 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
810 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
811 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
813 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
816 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
817 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
820 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
821 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
822 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
824 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
827 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
828 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
829 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
833 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
834 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
835 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
836 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
838 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
839 has chosen to ignore this fault)
840 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
841 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
845 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
847 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
848 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
849 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
850 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
851 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
854 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
857 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
858 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
860 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
861 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
862 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
863 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
864 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
865 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
866 rather than being initialized to 1.
869 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
871 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
872 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
873 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
875 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
877 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
879 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
880 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
881 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
882 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
883 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
884 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
887 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
888 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
889 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
890 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
891 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
895 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
896 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
897 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
898 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
899 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
902 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
903 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
904 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
908 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
909 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
911 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
914 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
916 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
918 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
919 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
921 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
923 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
924 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
928 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
929 exiting on the first error in a request.
932 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
933 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
937 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
938 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
939 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
940 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
942 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
943 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
946 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
947 blocks during encryption.
950 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
951 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
952 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
953 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
957 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
958 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
959 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
960 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
961 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
965 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
967 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
968 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
969 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
970 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
973 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
974 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
975 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
976 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
977 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
979 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
980 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
981 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
982 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
983 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
984 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
985 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
986 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
987 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
990 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
991 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
992 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
993 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
996 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
997 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1000 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1002 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1003 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1004 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1005 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1006 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
1008 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1009 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1010 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1012 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1013 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1014 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1015 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1016 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1018 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1019 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1020 used by default when no-err is given.
1023 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1024 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1026 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1027 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1028 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1029 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1030 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1032 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1033 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1034 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1035 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1037 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1039 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1041 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1043 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1044 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1045 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1046 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1050 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1051 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1053 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1054 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1057 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1058 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1059 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1060 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1063 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1064 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1065 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1066 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1067 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1068 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1069 followup to PR #377.
1072 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1073 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1076 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1077 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1078 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1086 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1087 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1088 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session

1096 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1100 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1101 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1102 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1103 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1104 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1105 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1107 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1108 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1109 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1110 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1111 have to be made anyway).
1114 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1115 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1116 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1119 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1120 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1121 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1124 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1125 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1126 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

1130 edit numbers of the version.

1156 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer

1160 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1161 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).

1240 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1241 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1242 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1244 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left

1264 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1265 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1266 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1269 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1270 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1271 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1272 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1273 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1275 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1276 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1278 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1279 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1282 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1283 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1284 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1285 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1286 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1287 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1290 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1291 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1292 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1295 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1296 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1299 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1300 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1301 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1302 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1303 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1304 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1305 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1308 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1309 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1310 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1311 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1312 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1313 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1316 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1317 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1318 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1319 declaration has been changed from
1322 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1323 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1324 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1325 has been changed into
1326 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1328 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1329 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1330 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1332 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1333 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1335 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1336 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1337 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1338 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1339 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1340 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1341 always load it have also been added.
1344 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1345 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1346 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1348 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1350 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1351 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1352 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1354 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1355 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1356 command line option can be used to specify an
1360 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1361 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1364 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1365 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1366 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1369 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1370 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1371 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1372 to work with the new engine framework.
1373 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1375 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1376 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1377 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1378 to work with the new engine framework.
1381 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1382 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1383 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1385 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1386 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1388 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1389 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1390 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1391 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1393 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1395 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1396 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1398 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1399 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1401 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1402 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1403 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1406 *) Add new functions
1408 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1409 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1410 These are similar to
1413 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1414 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1415 still in the error queue.
1416 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1418 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1420 default_algorithms = ALL
1421 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1424 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1427 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1430 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1431 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1432 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1433 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1435 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1436 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1438 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1439 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1441 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1442 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1445 *) New functions/macros
1447 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1448 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1449 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1450 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1452 to request calling a callback function
1454 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1455 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1457 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1458 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1459 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1460 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1461 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1462 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1463 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1464 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1465 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1466 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1468 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1469 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1472 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1473 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1474 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1475 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1476 the configuration scripts.
1478 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1479 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1480 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1482 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1483 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1485 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1486 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1487 when reusing an existing buffer.
1490 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1491 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1494 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1495 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1498 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1499 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1500 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1501 has the same effect.
1502 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1504 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1505 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1506 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1507 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1508 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1509 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1512 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1513 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1514 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1515 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1517 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1518 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1519 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1520 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1522 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1523 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1526 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1527 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1528 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1529 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1530 default), and then completely removed.
1533 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1534 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1535 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1536 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1537 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1538 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1539 particular extension is supported.
1542 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1543 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1546 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1547 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1548 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1549 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1550 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1551 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1552 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1553 requires the destination to be valid.
1555 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1556 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1559 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1560 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1561 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1564 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1565 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1567 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1568 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1569 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1570 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1571 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1572 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1573 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1574 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1575 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1576 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1577 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1578 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1579 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1580 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1581 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1582 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1583 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1584 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1585 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1589 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1592 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1593 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1594 become part of libeay.num as well.
1597 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1598 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1599 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1600 false once a handshake has been completed.
1601 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1602 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1603 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1604 client has followed the request.)
1607 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1608 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1609 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1610 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1612 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1613 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1614 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1617 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1620 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1621 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1622 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1625 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1626 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1629 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1630 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1631 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1632 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1635 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1636 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1637 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1638 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1639 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1640 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1643 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1644 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1645 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1646 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1647 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1648 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1649 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1650 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1653 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1654 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1657 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1660 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1661 md_data void pointer.
1664 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1665 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1666 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1667 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1668 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1669 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1672 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1673 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1674 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1675 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1676 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1677 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1678 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1679 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1680 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1681 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1682 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1683 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1684 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1685 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1686 rather than letting it slide.
1688 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1689 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1690 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1693 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1694 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1695 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1696 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1697 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1698 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1699 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1700 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1701 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1704 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1705 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1706 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1707 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1708 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1710 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1713 *) Add EVP test program.
1716 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1719 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1720 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1721 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1722 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1723 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1726 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1727 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1728 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1729 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1730 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1731 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1732 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1734 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1735 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1736 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1741 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1742 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1743 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1744 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1745 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1749 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1750 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1751 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1752 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1755 des_key_schedule ks;
1757 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1758 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1760 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1763 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1764 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1765 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1766 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1767 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1768 functions prevents this.
1771 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1774 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1775 correct _ecb suffix.
1778 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1779 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1780 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1781 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1782 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1785 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1788 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1789 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1790 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1791 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1793 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1794 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1796 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1797 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1798 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1799 via Richard Levitte]
1801 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1802 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1803 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1804 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1807 *) Speed up EVP routines.

1825 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1826 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1828 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1829 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1830 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1831 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1832 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1833 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1836 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1837 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1840 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1841 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1842 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1843 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1845 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1846 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1847 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1848 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1849 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1850 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1854 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1855 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1856 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1857 and interrupts/cancellations.
1860 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1861 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1864 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1865 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1866 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1868 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1869 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1873 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1874 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1875 than this minimum value is recommended.
1878 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1879 that are easily reachable.
1882 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1883 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1885 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1887 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1888 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1889 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1890 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1893 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1894 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1895 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1898 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1899 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1900 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1901 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1902 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1903 internally such as S/MIME.
1905 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1906 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1907 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1909 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1913 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1914 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1915 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1916 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1918 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1920 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1922 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1923 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1924 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1928 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1929 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1930 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1931 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1932 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1933 a window system and the like.
1936 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1937 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1940 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1941 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1942 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1943 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1944 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1945 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1946 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1947 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1948 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1952 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1953 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1957 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1958 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1959 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1960 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1961 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1962 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1963 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1964 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1967 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1968 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1969 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1970 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1971 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1972 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1973 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1974 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1975 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1976 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1977 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1978 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1979 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1980 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1981 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1982 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1983 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1986 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1987 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1988 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1989 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1990 internal engine_int.h header.
1993 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1994 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1995 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1996 modify their own ones).
1999 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2000 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2001 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2002 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2003 later on via ctrl() commands.
2004 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2005 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2006 structural references.
2007 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2008 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2009 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2010 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2011 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2012 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2013 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2014 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2015 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2016 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2017 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2018 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2021 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2022 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2023 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2024 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2025 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2026 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2027 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2028 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2031 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2032 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2035 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2036 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2039 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2040 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2041 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2042 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2043 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2044 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2045 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2048 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2049 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2050 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2051 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2052 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2054 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2055 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2059 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2061 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2062 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2063 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2065 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2066 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2068 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2069 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2070 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2072 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2073 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2075 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2076 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2078 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2080 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2081 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2082 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2085 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2086 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2089 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2090 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2091 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2092 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2093 is 40 of more characters long.
2096 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2097 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2101 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2102 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2105 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2106 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2110 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2112 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2113 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2116 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2118 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2119 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2120 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2122 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2123 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2125 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2128 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2132 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2133 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2134 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2135 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2137 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2139 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2140 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2142 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2143 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2144 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2145 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2146 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2147 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2149 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2150 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2152 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2153 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2155 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2156 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2158 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2159 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2160 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2161 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2163 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2164 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2166 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2167 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2169 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2170 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2171 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2172 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2173 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2176 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2177 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2178 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2179 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2182 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2183 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2184 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2188 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2189 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2190 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2191 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2192 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2193 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2194 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2195 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2199 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2200 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2203 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2204 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2205 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2206 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2209 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2210 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2211 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2212 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2213 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2214 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2215 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2216 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2217 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2218 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2221 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2222 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2223 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2224 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2225 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2226 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2227 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2228 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2230 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2231 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2232 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2233 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2236 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2237 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2238 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2239 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2241 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2242 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2243 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2244 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2245 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2249 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2250 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2251 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2252 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2256 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2257 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2258 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2261 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2262 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2263 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2264 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2265 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2268 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2271 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2272 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2273 option to ocsp utility.
2276 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2277 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2278 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2279 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2280 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2281 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2282 the request is nonce-less.
2285 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2286 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2287 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2290 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2291 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2292 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2295 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2296 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2297 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2298 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2299 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2302 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2303 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2307 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2308 additional certificates supplied.
2311 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2312 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2316 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2317 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2320 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2321 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2322 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2323 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2324 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2325 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2326 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2327 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2328 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2330 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2331 request to response.
2334 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2335 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2336 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2337 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2338 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2339 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2340 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2341 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2342 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2343 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2344 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2347 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2348 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2349 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2350 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2353 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2354 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2356 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2357 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2358 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2361 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2362 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2363 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2364 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2365 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2367 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2368 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2369 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2372 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2373 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2374 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2375 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2376 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2377 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2378 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2379 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2381 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2382 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2383 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2384 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2385 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2386 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2389 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2390 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2391 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2392 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2393 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2394 printout format cleaned up.
2397 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2398 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2399 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2400 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2401 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2402 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2403 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2404 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2407 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2408 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2409 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2410 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2411 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2412 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2413 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2414 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2417 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2418 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2419 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2420 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2422 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2424 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2425 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2426 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2427 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2430 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2431 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2432 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2433 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2435 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2437 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2438 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2439 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2440 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2442 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2443 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2445 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2446 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2447 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2450 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2451 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2452 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2455 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2456 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2457 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2458 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2459 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2460 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2461 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2462 functions are provided:
2464 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2465 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2466 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2467 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2469 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2470 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2471 extended allocation function is enabled.
2472 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2473 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2474 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2476 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2477 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2478 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2479 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2480 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2483 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2484 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2485 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2487 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2488 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2489 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2492 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2493 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2494 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2495 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2496 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2497 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2498 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2499 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2500 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2503 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2504 provide utility functions which an application needing
2505 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2506 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2507 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2509 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2510 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2511 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2512 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2513 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2514 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2515 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2516 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2517 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2519 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2520 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2521 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2522 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2525 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2526 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2527 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2528 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2529 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2530 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2531 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2532 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2533 will be added elsewhere.
2536 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2537 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2538 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2539 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2542 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2543 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2544 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2545 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2546 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2547 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2548 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2549 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2550 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2551 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2552 to produce the required SET OF.
2555 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2556 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2557 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2560 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2561 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2562 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2563 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2564 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2565 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2568 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2569 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2570 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2573 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2574 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2575 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2578 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2579 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2580 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2581 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2582 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2585 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2586 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2589 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2590 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2591 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2592 certifcates and CRLs.
2595 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2596 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2597 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2600 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2601 entries for variables.
2604 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2605 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2606 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2607 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2610 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2611 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2612 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2613 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2614 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2615 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2618 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2619 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2621 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2622 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2623 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2626 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2630 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2631 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2632 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2633 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2634 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2635 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2638 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2641 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2642 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2643 for now but they will eventually go away.
2646 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2647 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2648 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2649 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2650 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2651 has also been converted to the new form.
2654 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2655 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2656 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2657 for negative moduli.
2660 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2661 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2664 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2668 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2669 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2670 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2671 type-specific callbacks.
2674 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2676 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2677 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2679 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2680 in sections depending on the subject.
2683 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2687 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2688 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2689 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2690 be handled deterministically).
2691 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2693 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2694 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2695 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2698 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2701 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2702 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2703 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2704 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2705 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2708 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2709 sign of the number in question.
2711 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2713 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2714 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2715 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2716 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2717 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2720 *) New function BN_swap.
2723 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2724 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2725 results on negative inputs.
2728 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2729 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2730 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2733 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2734 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2735 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2736 and add new functions:
2745 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2749 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2751 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2752 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2754 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2755 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2756 be reduced modulo m.
2757 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2760 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2761 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2762 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2764 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2765 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2766 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2767 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2768 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2769 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2774 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2775 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2776 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2777 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2778 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2780 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2781 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2782 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2786 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2789 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2790 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2793 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2794 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2795 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2796 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2800 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2803 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2806 *) Add the following functions:
2808 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2810 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2812 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2814 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2815 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2816 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2817 libraries unless it's really needed.
2819 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2820 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2821 declarations (they differed!).
2824 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2827 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2830 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2833 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2834 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2837 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2838 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2839 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2841 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2842 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2845 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2848 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2851 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2854 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2855 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2856 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2858 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2859 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2860 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2861 different shared library filenames on each system.
2864 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2867 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2868 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2869 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2871 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2874 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2875 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2876 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2877 binary backward compatibility.
2878 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2879 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2880 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2884 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2885 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2886 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2887 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2891 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2894 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2895 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2896 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2897 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2901 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2904 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
2906 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2907 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
2908 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2910 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
2912 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
2914 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
2915 certain ASN.1 tags (CAN-2003-0851)
2918 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
2920 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2922 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2923 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2925 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2926 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2930 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2931 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2935 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2936 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2937 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2938 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2940 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2941 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2944 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
2946 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2947 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2948 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2949 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2952 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2953 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2954 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2955 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2956 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2958 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2959 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2960 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2961 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2962 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2963 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2964 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2965 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2966 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2969 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
2971 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2972 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2973 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2974 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2975 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
2977 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2978 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2979 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2981 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
2983 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
2984 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
2985 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
2986 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
2987 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
2988 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
2991 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
2992 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
2993 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
2994 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
2995 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
2998 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
2999 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3000 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3002 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3003 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3004 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3008 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3009 being properly terminated.
3012 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3013 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3014 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3015 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3017 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3018 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3019 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3020 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3021 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3022 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3023 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3025 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3027 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3028 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3031 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3032 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3033 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3034 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3035 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),

3037 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3038 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3040 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3041 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3042 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3043 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3044 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3046 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3047 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3050 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3052 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3053 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3054 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3056 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3058 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3059 and get fix the header length calculation.
3060 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3061 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3064 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3065 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3066 assertions could call abort()).
3067 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3069 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3071 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3072 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3073 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3075 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3077 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3078 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3079 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3082 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3086 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3087 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3088 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3090 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3091 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3092 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3093 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3094 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3098 *) Changes in security patch:
3100 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3101 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3102 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3105 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3106 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3107 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3108 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
3109 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3111 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3113 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3115 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3116 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
3117 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3119 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3120 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
3121 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3123 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3124 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
3125 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3127 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3129 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3130 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3131 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3133 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3134 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3136 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3137 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3138 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3139 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3140 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3141 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3144 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3145 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3146 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3147 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3150 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3153 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3154 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3155 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3156 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3157 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3158 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3160 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3161 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3162 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3163 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3164 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3167 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3168 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3169 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3170 BN_generate_prime().)
3172 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3173 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3174 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3178 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3179 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3182 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3183 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3184 when using non-blocking I/O.
3185 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3187 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3188 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3190 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3191 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3194 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3195 configuration for the versions before that.
3196 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3198 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3199 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3200 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3201 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3204 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3205 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3206 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3209 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested

3214 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3215 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3217 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3218 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3220 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3221 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3222 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3223 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3224 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3225 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3226 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3229 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3230 using a local variable.
3231 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3233 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3234 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3235 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3237 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3240 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3241 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3243 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3244 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3245 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3247 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3249 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3250 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3251 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3252 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3255 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3259 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3260 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3261 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3262 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3263 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3265 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3266 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3267 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3269 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3270 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3271 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3273 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3274 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3275 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3276 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3278 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3279 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3280 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3282 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3284 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3285 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3287 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3289 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3290 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3291 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3292 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3294 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3295 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3296 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3297 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3299 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3300 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3302 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3303 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3304 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3307 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3308 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3309 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3311 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3313 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3314 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3315 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3316 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3317 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3318 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3319 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3322 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3323 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3324 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3325 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3327 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3328 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3329 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3330 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3331 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3332 the client will at least see that alert.
3335 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3339 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3340 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3341 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3343 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3344 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3345 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3346 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3349 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3350 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3351 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3353 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3354 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3355 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3356 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3357 may leak via logfiles.)
3359 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3360 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3361 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3362 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3366 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3367 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3370 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3371 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3372 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3373 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3374 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3377 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3378 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3380 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3381 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3382 followed by modular reduction.
3383 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3385 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3386 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3389 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3390 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3391 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3392 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3395 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3398 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3399 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3402 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3403 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3404 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3405 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3406 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3407 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3409 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3411 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3412 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3413 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3414 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3415 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3417 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3420 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3421 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3422 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3423 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3424 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3425 to allow the necessary settings.
3428 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3429 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3430 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3431 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3434 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3435 dh->length and always used
3437 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3439 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3440 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3441 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3442 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3443 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3448 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3450 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3456 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3457 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3458 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3459 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3461 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3462 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3463 always reject numbers >= n.
3466 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3467 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3468 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3469 variable) is not atomic.
3472 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3473 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3474 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3475 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3477 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3478 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3480 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3482 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3484 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3487 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3489 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3490 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3491 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3492 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3493 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3494 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3495 to traverse all of 'state'.
3497 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3498 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3499 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3501 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3502 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3504 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3505 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3506 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3507 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3508 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3509 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3510 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3511 further strengthens the PRNG.
3514 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3517 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3518 an error message in this case.
3521 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3524 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3525 positive and less than q.
3528 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3529 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3531 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3533 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3534 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3538 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3540 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3541 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3542 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3543 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3544 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3545 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3546 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3549 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3550 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3551 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3552 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3554 Both problems are now fixed.
3557 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3558 (previously it was 1024).
3561 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3562 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3565 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3568 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3569 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3570 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3573 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3574 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3575 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3576 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3577 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3578 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3579 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3580 environment variables.
3582 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3583 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3584 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3587 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3588 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3589 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3590 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3591 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3592 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3595 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3599 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3601 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3602 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3604 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3605 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3606 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3607 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3611 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3612 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3613 amount of data available.
3614 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3615 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3617 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3618 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3619 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3620 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3623 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3624 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3628 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3629 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3630 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3631 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3634 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3637 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3640 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3641 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3643 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3645 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3646 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3647 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3648 (but broken) behaviour.
3651 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3653 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3655 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3656 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3659 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3663 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3664 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3666 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3669 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3670 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3671 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3673 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3674 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3675 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3678 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3679 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3682 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3683 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3685 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3687 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3689 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3690 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3691 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3692 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3695 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3698 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3699 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3700 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3702 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3705 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3707 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3708 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3709 but the code is actually correct.
3712 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3713 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3714 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3715 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3716 and leaves the highest bit random.
3717 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3719 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3720 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3721 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3722 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3723 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3724 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3725 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3728 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3731 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3732 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3735 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3736 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3737 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3738 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3742 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3743 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3744 and break the signature.
3746 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3748 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3752 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3753 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3754 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3755 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3756 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3759 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3760 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3762 *) ./config script fixes.
3763 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3765 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3768 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3769 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3770 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3771 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3772 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3774 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3775 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3778 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3779 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3782 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3783 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3784 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3785 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3787 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3788 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3790 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3791 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3792 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3793 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3794 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3796 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3799 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3802 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3805 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3808 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3809 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3812 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3813 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3814 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3815 result of the server certificate verification.)
3818 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3819 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3820 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3824 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3825 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3826 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3827 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3828 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3829 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3830 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3831 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3834 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3835 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3836 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3837 happening the other way round.
3840 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3841 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3844 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3845 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3846 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3847 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3850 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3851 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3853 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3855 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3856 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3857 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3860 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3862 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3864 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3868 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3870 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3871 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3872 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3873 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3874 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3876 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3877 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3881 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3884 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3886 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3887 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3888 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3889 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3890 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3891 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3892 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3893 by the Finished messages.
3896 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3897 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3899 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3900 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3901 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3902 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3903 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3907 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3908 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3909 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3910 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3911 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3912 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3913 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3914 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3915 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3919 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3920 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3921 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3922 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3924 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3925 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3926 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3927 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3928 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3931 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3932 been tested well enough.
3935 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3936 it can return incorrect results.
3937 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3938 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3941 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3942 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3943 include zero length content when signing messages.
3946 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3947 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3950 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3953 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3957 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3958 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3959 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3960 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3961 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3962 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3965 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3966 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3968 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3969 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3971 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3972 random number < q in the DSA library.
3975 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3976 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3977 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3978 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3979 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3980 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3981 just makes things more complicated.)
3984 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
3988 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
3989 work better on such systems.
3990 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3992 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
3993 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
3994 keyid to the certificates aux info.
3997 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
3998 if there was more than one signature.
3999 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4001 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4002 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4003 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4004 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4007 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4008 rather than always using the current time.
4011 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4012 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4013 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4014 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4015 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4016 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4018 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4019 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4021 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4023 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4024 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4025 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4026 the same hash value.
4028 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4029 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4030 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4031 with X509_STORE internally.
4033 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4034 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4036 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4037 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4038 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4039 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4040 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4041 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4042 entirely (maybe later...).
4044 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4046 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4047 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4048 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4049 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4050 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4051 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4052 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4053 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4055 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4056 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4058 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4059 to customise the verify behaviour.
4062 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4063 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4066 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4067 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4068 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4069 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4070 request is improperly encoded.
4073 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4074 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4077 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4078 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4080 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4081 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4085 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4086 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4087 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4090 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4091 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4092 BIO/fp routines also added.
4095 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4096 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4098 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4099 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4100 demos/state_machine.
4103 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4104 generation and verification.
4107 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4108 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4109 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4110 encode and decode it manually.
4113 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4115 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4117 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4118 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4119 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4120 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4122 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4123 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4124 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4125 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4126 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4129 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4132 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4133 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4134 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4136 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4137 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4138 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4139 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4140 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4141 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4142 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4143 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4145 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4146 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4148 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4150 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4151 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4152 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4156 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4157 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4158 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4159 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4163 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4165 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4168 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4169 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4170 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4171 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4172 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4173 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4174 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4175 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4176 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4177 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4178 short or long names are found.
4181 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4182 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4184 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4185 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4186 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4187 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4189 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4190 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4191 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4192 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4195 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4196 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4197 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4200 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4201 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4202 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4203 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4204 to allow the various flags to be set.
4207 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4208 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4209 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4210 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4211 dates to be checked.
4214 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4215 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4216 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4219 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4220 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4221 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4224 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4225 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4228 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4229 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4230 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4231 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4232 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4233 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4236 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4237 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4241 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4245 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4246 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4247 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4248 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4249 form signing output easier to verify.
4252 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4255 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4256 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4257 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4258 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4259 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4260 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4261 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4262 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4263 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4264 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4267 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4269 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4270 the syntax given in objects.README.
4271 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4273 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4276 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4277 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4278 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4279 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4280 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4281 consistent name changes.
4284 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4287 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4288 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4289 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4290 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4293 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4294 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4295 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4299 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4300 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4301 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4302 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4305 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4306 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4307 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4308 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4309 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4310 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4311 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4312 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4313 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4314 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4315 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4318 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4319 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4320 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4321 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4322 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4323 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4324 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4325 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4326 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4327 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4330 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4331 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4332 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4333 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4335 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4336 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4337 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4338 omit any duplicate addresses.
4341 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4342 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4345 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4346 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4347 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4348 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4349 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4352 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4354 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4355 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4356 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4357 Free => OPENSSL_free
4360 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4361 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4364 *) CygWin32 support.
4365 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4367 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4368 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4369 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4370 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4371 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4375 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4376 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4377 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4378 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4379 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4380 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4381 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4384 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4385 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4386 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4387 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4388 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4389 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4390 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4391 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4392 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4393 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4394 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4397 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4398 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4399 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4400 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4401 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4403 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4404 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4405 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4406 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4407 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4409 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4412 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4413 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4414 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4415 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4417 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4419 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4422 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4423 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4424 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4427 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4428 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4429 any installed hardware versions can.
4432 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4433 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4434 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4438 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4439 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4440 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4441 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4442 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4444 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4445 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4448 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4449 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4452 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4453 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4454 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4458 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4461 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4462 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4463 but no ssl client purpose.
4464 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4466 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4467 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4468 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4469 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4470 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4471 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4472 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4473 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4474 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4475 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4476 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4479 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4480 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4481 be obtained from the error queue.
4484 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4485 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4486 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4487 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4490 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4493 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4494 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4495 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4496 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4497 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4500 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4501 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4502 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4503 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4504 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4507 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4508 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4509 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4511 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4513 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4514 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4515 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4516 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4517 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4518 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4519 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4520 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4521 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4522 or "the configuration storage API"...
4524 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4526 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4527 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4529 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4531 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4533 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4534 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4535 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4536 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4537 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4538 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4539 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4541 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4542 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4545 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4546 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4547 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4548 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4551 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4552 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4553 them in a portable way.
4554 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4556 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4558 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4560 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4561 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4563 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4564 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4565 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4568 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4569 was larger than the MD block size.
4570 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4572 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4573 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4574 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4575 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4579 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4580 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4581 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4583 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4585 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4587 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4588 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4589 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4590 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4591 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4592 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4594 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4595 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4597 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4598 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4601 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4604 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4605 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4607 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4608 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4609 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4610 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4613 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4614 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4615 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4616 does not suppress any output.
4619 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4620 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4621 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4622 with all the associated security issues.
4624 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4625 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4626 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4627 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4628 use the value in the default purpose.
4631 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4632 and fix a memory leak.
4635 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4636 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4637 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4638 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4641 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4642 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4643 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4644 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4647 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4648 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4649 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4652 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4653 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4656 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4657 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4661 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4662 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4665 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4666 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4667 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4670 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4671 number generation fails.
4674 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4677 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4678 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4680 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4683 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4684 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4686 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4687 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4689 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4691 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4692 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4695 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4696 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4698 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4699 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4702 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4703 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4704 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4705 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4706 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4707 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4709 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4710 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4711 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4715 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4716 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4717 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4718 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4719 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4720 counter, some don't.)
4721 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4722 counters or duplicate objects.
4725 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4726 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4729 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4730 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4731 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4733 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4734 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4735 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4739 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4740 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4743 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4744 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4745 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4749 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4750 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4751 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4754 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4755 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4756 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4757 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4758 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4759 should work without changes.
4762 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4763 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4764 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4765 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4766 must be defined. E.g.,
4767 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4768 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4769 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4770 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4772 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4776 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4777 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4778 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4781 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4782 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4783 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4784 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4787 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4788 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4789 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4790 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4791 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4792 is prompted for as usual.
4795 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
4796 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
4797 autodetect the card and use it if present.
4798 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
4800 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
4801 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
4802 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
4803 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
4806 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
4809 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
4813 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
4816 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
4819 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
4823 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
4826 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
4829 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
4830 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
4833 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
4834 options to produce them.
4837 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
4838 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
4841 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
4845 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
4846 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
4847 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
4848 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
4849 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
4850 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
4851 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
4854 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
4857 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
4858 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
4859 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
4862 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
4863 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
4865 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
4866 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
4869 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
4870 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
4871 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
4875 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
4876 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4878 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4879 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4880 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4881 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4882 generation becomes much faster.
4884 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4885 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4886 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4887 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4888 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4889 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4890 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4891 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4892 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4893 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4896 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4897 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4898 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4899 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4900 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4901 trial division stage.
4904 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4908 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4911 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4914 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4915 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4916 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4920 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4921 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4922 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4925 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4926 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4927 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4928 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4930 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4931 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4934 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4937 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4938 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4939 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4940 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4943 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4944 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
4945 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
4948 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
4949 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
4950 (instead of parameters) in future.
4953 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
4954 when a new cipher list is set.
4957 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
4958 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
4961 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
4962 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
4963 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
4965 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
4966 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
4967 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
4968 an error is flagged.
4970 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
4971 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
4972 the readability was also increased :-)
4973 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4975 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
4976 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
4977 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
4978 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
4982 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
4983 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
4986 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
4987 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
4988 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
4989 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
4992 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
4993 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
4994 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
4995 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
4996 because they handle more complex structures.)
4999 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5000 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5001 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5002 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5004 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5005 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5006 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5007 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5008 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5009 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5010 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5013 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5014 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5015 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5016 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5017 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5020 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5023 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5024 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5025 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5026 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5027 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5030 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5034 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5035 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5036 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5037 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5040 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5043 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5044 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5045 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5046 international characters are used.
5048 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5049 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5050 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5054 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5055 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5056 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5059 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5060 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5061 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5062 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5063 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5064 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5066 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5067 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5068 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5069 be handled by the string table functions.
5071 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5072 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5073 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5074 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5075 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5079 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5080 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5081 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5082 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5083 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5085 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5086 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5087 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5088 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5091 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5092 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5093 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5094 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5095 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5099 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5100 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5101 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5102 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5103 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5104 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5105 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5106 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5108 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5109 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5110 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5113 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5114 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5115 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5116 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5117 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5118 support to pkcs8 application.
5121 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5122 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5123 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5124 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5125 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5126 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5129 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5130 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5131 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5132 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5133 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5137 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5138 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5139 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5140 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5144 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5145 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5146 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5147 and any application specific purposes.
5149 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5150 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5151 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5152 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5153 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5154 if the certificate is self signed.
5157 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5158 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5161 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5162 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5163 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5164 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5167 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5168 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5169 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5170 Update documentation.
5173 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5174 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5175 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5176 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5177 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5180 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5182 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5184 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5185 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5186 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5187 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5188 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5189 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5190 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5191 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5192 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5193 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5195 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5197 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5198 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5199 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5200 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5201 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5203 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5204 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5205 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5206 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5207 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5208 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5209 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5210 request additional information:
5211 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5212 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5214 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5215 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5216 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5219 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5220 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5223 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5226 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5227 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5229 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5230 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5231 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5235 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5236 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5237 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5239 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5240 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5241 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5242 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5243 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5244 included in OpenSSL.
5247 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5248 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5249 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5250 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5251 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5252 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5255 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5259 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5260 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5261 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5262 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5263 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5267 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5271 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5272 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5273 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5274 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5275 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5276 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5277 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5278 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5279 be maintained manually.
5281 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5282 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5283 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5284 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5285 work because people forget to call this function]
5286 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5287 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5288 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5291 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5292 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5293 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5294 should be discouraged from doing it.
5297 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5298 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5299 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5300 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5301 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5302 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5305 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5306 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5307 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5309 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5310 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5311 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5313 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5314 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5315 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5316 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5317 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5318 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5320 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5321 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5322 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5324 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5325 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5328 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5329 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5330 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5331 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5334 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5337 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5338 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5339 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5340 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5341 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5342 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5343 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5344 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5345 keys so we should be OK.
5347 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5348 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5349 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5350 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5351 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5352 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5353 stay in the name of compatibility.
5355 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5356 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5357 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5359 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5360 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5361 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5362 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5363 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5364 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5368 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5369 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5370 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5371 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5372 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5373 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5374 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5375 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5376 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5377 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5378 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5379 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5380 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5383 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5386 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5387 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5388 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5389 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5390 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5391 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5392 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5393 openssl verify ss.pem
5394 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5395 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5399 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5400 (and add it to external session representation).
5401 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5402 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5403 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5404 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5405 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5406 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5408 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5410 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5411 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5412 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5413 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5415 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5416 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5417 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5420 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5421 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5422 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5426 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5427 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5428 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5430 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5431 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5432 certificate auxiliary information.
5435 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5439 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5440 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5441 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5442 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5443 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5444 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5445 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5448 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5449 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5452 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5453 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5454 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5455 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5458 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5461 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5462 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5465 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5466 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5467 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5468 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5469 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5470 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5471 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5472 using the new 'x509' options.
5474 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5475 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5476 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5477 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5481 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5482 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5483 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5484 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5485 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5488 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5489 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5490 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5491 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5492 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5493 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5494 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5495 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5496 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5497 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5500 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5501 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5502 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5503 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5504 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5505 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5506 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5509 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5510 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5511 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5512 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5513 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5514 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5515 openssl.cnf for more info.
5518 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5519 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5520 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5521 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5522 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5523 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5524 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5525 md should be large enough anyway.
5528 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5529 for handling the random seed file.
5531 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5533 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5536 x509 (when signing).
5537 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5538 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5539 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5541 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5542 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5543 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5544 that support '-rand'.
5547 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5548 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5551 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5552 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5555 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5556 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5557 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5558 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5562 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5563 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5564 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5565 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5568 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5569 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5570 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5571 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5572 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5573 print out all the purposes.
5576 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5580 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5581 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5582 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5583 single function call.
5586 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5587 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5590 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5591 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5592 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5595 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5596 when producing the local key id.
5597 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5599 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5600 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5601 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5605 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5606 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5607 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5608 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5611 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5612 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5613 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5614 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5616 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5617 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5618 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5619 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5621 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5622 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5623 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5624 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5625 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5626 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5627 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5628 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5629 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5630 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5631 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5632 trivial: move one line.
5633 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5635 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5636 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5637 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5638 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5639 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5640 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5641 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5642 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5643 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5644 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5645 with an event loop for example.
5648 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5649 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5650 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5651 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5652 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5653 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5654 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5655 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5656 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5659 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5660 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5661 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5662 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5663 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5664 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5667 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5668 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5669 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5670 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5672 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5673 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5674 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5675 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5679 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5680 (still largely untested)
5683 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5684 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5687 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5688 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5691 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5692 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5693 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5696 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5697 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5698 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5699 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5700 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5703 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5706 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5707 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5708 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5709 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5710 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5714 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5715 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5718 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5721 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5722 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5723 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5724 are otherwise ignored at present.
5727 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5728 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5729 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5730 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5731 copied until the next read.
5734 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5735 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5736 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5739 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5740 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5741 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5742 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5743 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5744 associated functions.
5747 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5748 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5749 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5750 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5751 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5752 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5753 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5754 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5755 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5759 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5760 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5761 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5762 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5765 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5766 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5767 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5768 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5769 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5773 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5774 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5778 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5779 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5780 extensions to be obtained and added.
5783 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5784 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5787 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5789 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5790 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5792 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5793 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
5795 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
5799 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
5800 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
5801 DH parameters contain its length).
5803 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
5804 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
5805 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
5806 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
5807 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
5808 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
5809 utter importance to use
5810 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5812 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5813 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
5814 attacks may become possible!
5817 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
5820 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
5821 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
5824 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
5825 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
5826 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
5830 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
5831 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
5832 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
5833 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
5834 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
5835 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
5836 private key operations.
5839 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
5842 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
5843 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
5845 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
5846 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
5847 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
5848 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
5849 the password callback is called.
5850 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
5852 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
5854 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
5855 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
5856 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
5857 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
5858 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
5859 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
5862 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
5863 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
5864 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
5865 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
5866 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
5867 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
5870 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
5873 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
5874 delete an unused file.
5877 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5878 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5879 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5880 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5883 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5884 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5885 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5889 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5890 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5891 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5893 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5894 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5895 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5896 comparison" warnings.
5897 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5900 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5901 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5902 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5905 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5906 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5908 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5909 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5911 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5912 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5913 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5915 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5916 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5917 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5918 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5919 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5921 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5923 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5924 The interface is as follows:
5925 Applications can use
5926 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5927 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5928 "off" is now the default.
5929 The library internally uses
5930 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5931 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5932 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5934 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5935 even the default) are now avoided.
5937 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5938 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5939 than just having a counter.
5941 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5943 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
5947 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
5948 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
5949 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
5950 Initial "mode" flags are:
5952 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
5953 a single record has been written.
5954 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
5955 retries use the same buffer location.
5956 (But all of the contents must be
5960 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
5963 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
5964 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
5966 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
5967 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
5968 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
5971 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
5972 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
5974 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
5976 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
5977 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
5978 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
5979 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
5981 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
5982 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
5984 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
5985 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
5986 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
5987 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
5988 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
5989 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
5992 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
5993 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
5994 necessary function names.
5997 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
5998 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
5999 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6000 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6003 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6004 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6005 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6008 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6009 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6010 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6011 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6013 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6017 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6018 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6019 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6022 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6023 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6027 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6028 for the encoded length.
6029 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6031 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6034 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6035 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6036 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6037 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6040 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6041 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6042 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6044 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6045 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6046 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6050 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6051 to use the new extension code.
6054 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6055 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6056 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6060 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6061 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6062 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6066 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6069 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6070 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6071 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6074 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6075 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6076 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6077 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6080 *) DES library cleanups.
6083 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6084 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6085 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6086 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6087 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6091 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6092 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6095 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6096 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6097 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6098 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6099 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6100 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6101 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6102 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6103 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6106 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6107 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6108 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6109 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6110 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6111 value doesn't matter.
6114 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6118 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6119 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6120 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6121 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6123 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6126 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6127 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6128 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6130 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6131 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6133 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6136 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6139 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6142 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6146 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6148 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6150 *) Updated some demos.
6151 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6153 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6156 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6159 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6162 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6163 instead of using a fixed path.
6166 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6169 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6173 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6175 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6176 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6177 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6179 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6180 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6181 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6182 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6183 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6184 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6185 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6186 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6187 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6188 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6191 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6192 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6195 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6196 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6197 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6198 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6199 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6201 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6204 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6205 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6206 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6209 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6212 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6213 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6214 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6215 key elements as negative integers.
6218 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6219 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6222 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6224 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6225 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6226 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6229 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6230 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6231 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6232 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6233 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6236 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6239 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6240 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6241 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6242 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6244 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6245 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6246 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6248 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6249 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6250 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6251 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6252 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6253 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6254 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6255 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6256 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6258 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6259 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6260 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6261 does not influence s as it used to.
6263 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6264 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6265 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6266 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6267 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6268 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6271 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6272 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6273 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6277 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6278 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6279 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6283 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6284 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6285 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6289 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6290 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6293 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6294 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6299 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6300 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6302 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6303 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6305 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6308 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6311 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6312 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6314 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6315 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6316 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6320 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6321 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6322 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6323 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6324 now it really counts the depth.
6327 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6328 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6329 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6330 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6331 didn't match the private key).
6333 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6334 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6335 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6338 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6341 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6345 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6346 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6347 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6350 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6353 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6354 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6355 such as /usr/local/bin.
6358 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6359 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6361 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6364 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6365 extension adding in x509 utility.
6368 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6371 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6375 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6378 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6379 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6380 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6381 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6382 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6383 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6384 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6385 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6386 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6387 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6390 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6393 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6394 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6397 *) Fix some race conditions.
6400 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6401 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6404 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6407 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6408 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6409 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6410 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6412 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6413 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6415 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6416 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6417 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6419 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6420 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6422 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6425 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6426 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6428 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6431 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6432 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6434 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6435 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6438 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6439 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6442 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6443 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6446 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6447 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6450 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6451 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6454 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6455 support typesafe stack.
6458 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6459 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6461 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6462 old X509V3 handling code.
6465 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6468 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6471 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6474 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6475 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6477 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6478 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6479 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6480 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6481 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6484 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6485 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6486 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6487 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6488 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6490 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6491 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6492 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6493 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6495 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6496 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6497 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6498 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6500 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6501 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6502 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6503 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6504 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6505 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6508 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6509 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6512 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6513 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6516 *) Tweaks to Configure
6517 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6519 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6523 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6526 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6527 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6530 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6531 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6532 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6535 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6538 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6539 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6542 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6543 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6544 to library startup routines.
6547 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6548 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6549 codes along the way.
6552 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6553 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6554 objects to objects.h
6557 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6558 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6561 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6562 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6564 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6565 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6566 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6568 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6569 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6570 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6572 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6573 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6574 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6577 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6579 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6580 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6583 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6584 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6585 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6586 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6587 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6589 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6590 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6591 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6593 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6595 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6597 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6599 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6600 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6602 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6603 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6604 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6605 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6607 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6610 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6611 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6612 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6613 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6616 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6617 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6618 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6621 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6622 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6623 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6624 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6625 installed as `perl').
6626 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6628 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6629 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6631 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6632 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6633 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6634 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6635 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6638 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6641 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6642 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6643 is horrible: I feel ill....
6646 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6647 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6648 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6649 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6652 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6653 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6655 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6656 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6657 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6658 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6660 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6661 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6662 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6663 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6664 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6665 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6667 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6669 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6670 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6672 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6673 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6675 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6678 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6679 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6683 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6684 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6685 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6686 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6687 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6688 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6689 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6690 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6691 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6692 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6693 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6695 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6698 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6699 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6700 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6701 for linking it into DSOs.
6702 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6704 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6708 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6709 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6710 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6711 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6712 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6713 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6715 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6716 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6717 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6718 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6719 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6720 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6721 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6723 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6724 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6725 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6729 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6730 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6731 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6732 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6735 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6736 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6737 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6738 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6739 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6743 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6744 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6745 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6746 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6747 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6749 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6750 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6751 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6753 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6754 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6756 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6757 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6758 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6759 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6760 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6763 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6764 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6765 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6766 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6767 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6768 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6769 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6772 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6774 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6775 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6778 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6779 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6781 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6782 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6785 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6786 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6787 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6788 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6789 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6791 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6792 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6793 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
6794 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
6795 no way to reconfigure them.
6796 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
6797 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
6798 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
6799 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
6800 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
6801 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6803 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
6804 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
6805 recognized by the users.
6806 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6808 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
6809 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
6810 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
6811 already masked variable.
6812 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6814 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
6815 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6817 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
6818 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
6819 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
6820 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6822 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
6823 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
6824 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6826 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
6827 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
6828 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
6829 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
6830 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
6831 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
6832 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
6833 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
6835 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6837 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
6838 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
6839 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6841 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
6842 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
6846 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
6847 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6849 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
6850 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
6851 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
6852 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
6855 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
6858 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
6859 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6861 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
6864 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
6865 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
6868 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
6869 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
6872 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
6873 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
6874 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
6875 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
6876 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
6877 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6878 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6881 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6882 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6884 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6885 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6886 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6887 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6888 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6890 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6891 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6892 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6895 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6896 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6900 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6901 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6902 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6904 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6905 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6906 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6910 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6911 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6912 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6913 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6916 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6917 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6918 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6919 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6922 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6923 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6924 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6925 so it wasn't spotted.
6926 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6928 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6929 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6930 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6931 vectors if you have them.
6934 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6935 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6938 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6939 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6940 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6941 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6943 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6944 it will update them.
6947 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
6948 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
6949 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
6950 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
6951 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
6952 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
6953 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
6954 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6956 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
6957 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
6958 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
6959 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
6960 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
6961 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
6962 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
6963 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
6964 the crypto/md/ stuff).
6965 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6967 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
6968 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
6969 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
6970 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
6971 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
6974 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
6978 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
6979 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6981 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
6982 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6984 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
6985 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
6988 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
6989 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
6991 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
6992 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
6994 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
6997 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7001 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7002 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7003 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7004 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7006 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7009 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7012 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7015 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7016 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7019 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7020 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7024 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7025 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7028 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7029 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7030 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7033 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7034 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7035 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7036 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7037 properly to be processed.
7040 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7041 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7042 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7045 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7046 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7048 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7049 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7050 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7051 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7052 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7053 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7054 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7055 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7056 or delete all the .err files.
7059 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7060 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7061 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7062 to regenerate it if needed.
7063 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7064 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7066 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7067 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7069 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7070 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7071 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7072 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7073 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7076 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7077 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7079 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7080 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7082 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7083 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7084 error, but didn't set one).
7085 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7087 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7090 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7091 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7094 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7095 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7097 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7098 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7099 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7100 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7101 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7102 OID is not part of the table.
7105 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7106 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7109 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7112 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7113 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7117 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7118 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7120 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7122 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7124 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7125 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7127 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7128 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7130 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7131 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7133 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7134 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7137 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7138 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7141 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7142 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7144 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7145 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7147 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7148 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7150 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7151 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7153 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7154 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7155 unused in the certificate verification process.
7156 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7158 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7159 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7162 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7163 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7164 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7166 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7167 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7168 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7169 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7170 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7172 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7173 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7176 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7179 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7182 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7183 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7185 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7188 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7191 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7194 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7195 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7196 other error libraries.
7199 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7202 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7203 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7207 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7208 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7209 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7210 the new set of documenation files.
7211 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7213 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7214 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7215 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7216 number of arguments.
7217 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7219 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7222 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7223 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7224 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7226 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7229 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7233 unixware-2.0-pentium
7237 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7238 before they are needed.
7241 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7245 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7247 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7248 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7249 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7251 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7254 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7255 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7256 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7258 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7259 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7260 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7262 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7263 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7264 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7266 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7267 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7269 *) Updated the README file.
7270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7272 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7273 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7274 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7276 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7277 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7278 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7280 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7281 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7282 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7283 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7284 o removed obsolete TODO file
7285 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7286 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7288 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7289 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7290 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
7291 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
7292 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
7293 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7294 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7296 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7299 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7300 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7301 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7303 [The OpenSSL Project]
7306 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7308 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7311 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7314 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7315 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7318 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7319 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7323 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7325 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7327 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7330 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7333 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7336 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7339 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7342 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7345 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7348 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7351 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7354 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7357 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7360 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7363 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7366 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7369 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7372 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7375 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7378 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7379 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7380 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7383 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7384 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7387 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7390 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7393 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7394 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7397 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7400 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7403 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7404 bytes sent in the client random.
