5 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
8 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
11 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
12 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
15 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
16 the apps/openssl applications.
19 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
20 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
21 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
24 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
25 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
27 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
28 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
30 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
31 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
32 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
33 avoid this algorithm.)
37 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
38 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
39 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
42 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
43 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
46 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
47 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
48 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
51 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
53 The blank line is mandatory.
57 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
58 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
62 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
63 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
65 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
66 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
67 to support policy checking and print out.
70 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
71 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
72 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
73 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
75 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
78 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
79 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
81 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
82 implementation contributed by IBM.
83 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
85 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
86 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
87 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
88 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
90 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
91 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
93 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
94 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
95 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
96 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
97 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
98 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
101 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
102 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
103 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
104 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
105 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
106 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
107 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
110 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
113 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
114 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
115 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
116 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
117 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
118 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
119 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
120 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
123 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
124 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
125 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
126 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
129 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
132 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
135 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
136 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
137 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
138 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
139 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
140 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
144 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
145 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
148 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
149 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
150 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
153 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
154 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
155 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
159 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
160 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
163 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
164 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
165 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
166 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
169 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
170 initialised value as BN_new().
171 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
173 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
176 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
177 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
178 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
179 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
180 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
181 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
182 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
183 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
184 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
185 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
186 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
187 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
188 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
189 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
190 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
192 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
193 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
194 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
195 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
198 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
199 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
200 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
201 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
202 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
203 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
204 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
205 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
206 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
209 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
210 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
211 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
212 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
213 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
214 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
215 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
218 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
219 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
220 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
221 these have been updated also.
224 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
225 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
226 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
227 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
228 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
232 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
233 structure of type "other".
236 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
237 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
238 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
239 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
240 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
241 situation in the script.
242 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
244 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
245 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
246 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
247 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
248 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
249 used as premaster secret.
250 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
252 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
253 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
254 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
256 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
257 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
259 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
260 control of the error stack.
263 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
266 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
267 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
268 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
269 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
272 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
273 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
274 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
277 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
278 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
279 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
283 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
284 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
285 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
286 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
289 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
290 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
291 the following flags are defined:
293 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
294 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
295 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
298 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
299 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
300 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
301 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
305 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
306 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
307 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
308 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
309 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
312 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
313 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
314 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
317 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
318 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
319 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
320 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
321 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
322 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
325 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
329 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
332 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
335 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
338 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
339 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
340 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
341 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
342 default implementation more easily.
345 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
349 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
350 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
353 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
354 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
355 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
356 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
358 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
359 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
360 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
364 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
365 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
369 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
370 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
371 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
372 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
373 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
375 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
377 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
378 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
379 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
383 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
384 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
385 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
386 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
387 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
388 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
389 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
390 linker additions, eg;
391 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
394 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
395 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
396 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
399 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
400 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
401 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
405 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
406 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
407 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
408 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
411 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
412 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
413 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
414 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
415 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
416 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
417 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
418 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
419 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
420 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
422 Example for using the new callback interface:
424 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
428 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
430 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
431 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
432 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
433 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
434 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
435 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
440 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
441 available to TLS with the number defined in
442 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
445 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
446 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
448 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
449 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
450 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
451 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
453 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
454 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
456 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
457 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
461 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
462 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
465 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating new macros that behave like
468 void BN_set_sign(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
469 int BN_get_sign(const BIGNUM *a);
471 and avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
472 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
474 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
475 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
476 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
478 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
480 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
483 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
484 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
485 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
486 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
488 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
489 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
490 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
491 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
492 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
493 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
494 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
495 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
497 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
498 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
501 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
502 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
504 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
505 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
506 files while avoiding the low level API.
508 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
509 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
510 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
511 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
513 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
514 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
515 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
516 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
517 instead of the low level API.
520 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
521 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
522 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
523 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
524 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
527 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
528 down to the template encoder.
531 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
532 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
535 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
536 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
537 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
538 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
540 *) Add ECDH engine support.
541 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
543 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
544 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
546 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
547 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
550 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
551 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
552 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
555 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
556 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
558 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
559 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
561 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
562 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
565 EC_GF2m_simple_method
569 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
570 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
571 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
572 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
573 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
574 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
576 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
577 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
580 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
581 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
582 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
583 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
584 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
585 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
586 various internal method names.)
588 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
589 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
591 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
592 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
594 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
595 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
597 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
598 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
599 methods are undefined.
601 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
602 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
604 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
605 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
606 length of the modulus.
608 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
609 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
611 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
612 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
614 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
615 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
617 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
618 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
619 used) in the following functions [macros]:
622 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
623 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
624 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
625 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
627 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
628 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
629 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
630 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
632 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
633 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
635 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
636 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
637 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
638 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
639 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
641 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
642 This applies to the following functions:
647 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
648 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
651 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
655 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
660 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
662 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
663 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
664 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
665 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
666 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
668 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
669 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
671 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
672 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
673 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
675 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
676 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
678 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
679 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
680 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
681 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
682 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
684 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
686 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
687 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
688 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
689 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
690 These control ASN1 encoding details:
691 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
692 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
693 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
694 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
695 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
696 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
697 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
699 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
703 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
704 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
705 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
707 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
708 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
709 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
710 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
717 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
718 EC_POINT_oct2point().
719 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
721 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
722 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
723 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
725 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
726 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
727 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
728 adding different types of curves.
729 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
731 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
732 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
733 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
736 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
737 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
739 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
740 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
741 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
742 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
744 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
746 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
747 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
749 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
750 library. Most notably,
751 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
752 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
753 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
754 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
755 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
756 extracted before the specific public key;
757 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
758 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
760 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
761 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
763 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
764 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
765 EC_get_builtin_curves().
766 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
770 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
772 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
773 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
774 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
775 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
776 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
777 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
781 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [XX xxx xxxx]
783 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
784 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
785 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
786 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
787 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
788 some needed definitions.
791 *) Undo Cygwin change.
794 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
795 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
796 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
797 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
800 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
802 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
803 server and client random values. Previously
804 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
805 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
807 This change has negligible security impact because:
809 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
812 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
815 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
816 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
819 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
822 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
824 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
827 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
828 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
829 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
831 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
834 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
835 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
838 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
839 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
840 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
842 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
845 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
846 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
847 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
851 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
852 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
853 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
854 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
856 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
857 has chosen to ignore this fault)
858 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
859 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
863 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
865 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
866 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
867 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
868 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
869 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
872 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
875 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
876 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
878 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
879 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
880 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
881 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
882 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
883 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
884 rather than being initialized to 1.
887 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
889 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
890 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
891 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
893 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
895 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
897 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
898 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
899 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
900 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
901 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
902 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
905 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
906 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
907 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
908 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
909 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
913 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
914 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
915 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
916 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
917 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
920 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
921 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
922 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
926 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
927 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
929 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
932 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
934 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
936 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
937 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
939 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
941 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
942 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
946 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
947 exiting on the first error in a request.
950 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
951 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
955 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
956 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
957 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
958 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
960 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
961 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
964 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
965 blocks during encryption.
968 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
969 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
970 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
971 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
975 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
976 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
977 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
978 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
979 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
983 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
985 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
986 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
987 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
988 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
991 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
992 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
993 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
994 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
995 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
997 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
998 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
999 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1000 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1001 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1002 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1003 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1004 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1005 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1008 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1009 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1010 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1011 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1014 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1015 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1018 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1020 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1021 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1022 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1023 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1024 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
1026 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1027 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1028 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1030 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1031 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1032 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1033 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1034 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1036 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1037 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1038 used by default when no-err is given.
1041 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1042 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1044 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1045 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1046 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1047 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1048 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1050 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1051 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1052 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1053 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1055 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1057 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1059 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1061 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1062 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1063 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1064 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1068 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1069 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1071 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1072 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1075 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1076 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1077 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1078 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1081 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1082 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1083 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1084 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1085 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1086 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1087 followup to PR #377.
1090 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1091 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1094 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1095 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1096 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1101 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1104 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1105 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1106 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1107 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1109 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

1114 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1118 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1119 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1120 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1121 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1122 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1123 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1125 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1126 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1127 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1128 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1129 have to be made anyway).
1132 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1133 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1134 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1137 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1138 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1139 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1142 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1143 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1144 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

1148 edit numbers of the version.

1262 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1263 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1264 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1265 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1267 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1268 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1269 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1272 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1273 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1274 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1275 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1276 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1277 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1278 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1279 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1282 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1283 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1284 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1287 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1288 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1289 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1290 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1291 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1293 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1294 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1296 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1297 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1300 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1301 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1302 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1303 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1304 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1305 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1308 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1309 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1310 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1313 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1314 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1317 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1318 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1319 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1320 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1321 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1322 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1323 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1326 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1327 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1328 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1329 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1330 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1331 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1334 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1335 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1336 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1337 declaration has been changed from
1340 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1341 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1342 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1343 has been changed into
1344 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1346 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1347 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1348 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1350 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1351 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1353 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1354 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1355 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1356 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1357 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1358 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1359 always load it have also been added.
1362 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1363 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1364 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1366 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1368 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1369 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1370 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1372 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1373 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1374 command line option can be used to specify an
1378 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1379 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1382 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1383 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1384 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1387 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1388 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1389 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1390 to work with the new engine framework.
1391 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1393 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1394 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1395 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1396 to work with the new engine framework.
1399 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1400 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1401 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1403 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1404 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1406 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1407 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1408 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1409 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1411 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1413 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1414 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1416 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1417 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1419 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1420 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1421 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1424 *) Add new functions
1426 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1427 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1428 These are similar to
1431 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1432 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1433 still in the error queue.
1434 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1436 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1438 default_algorithms = ALL
1439 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1442 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1445 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1448 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1449 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1450 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1451 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1453 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1454 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1456 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1457 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1459 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1460 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1463 *) New functions/macros
1465 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1466 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1467 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1468 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1470 to request calling a callback function
1472 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1473 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1475 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1476 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1477 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1478 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1479 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1480 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1481 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1482 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1483 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1484 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1486 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1487 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1490 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1491 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1492 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1493 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1494 the configuration scripts.
1496 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1497 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1498 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1500 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1501 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1503 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1504 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1505 when reusing an existing buffer.
1508 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1509 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1512 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1513 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1516 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1517 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1518 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1519 has the same effect.
1520 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1522 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1523 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1524 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1525 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1526 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1527 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1530 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1531 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1532 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1533 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1535 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1536 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1537 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1538 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1540 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1541 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1544 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1545 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1546 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1547 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1548 default), and then completely removed.
1551 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1552 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1553 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1554 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1555 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1556 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1557 particular extension is supported.
1560 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1561 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1564 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1565 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1566 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1567 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1568 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1569 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1570 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1571 requires the destination to be valid.
1573 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1574 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1577 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1578 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1579 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1582 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1583 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1585 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1586 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1587 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1588 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1589 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1590 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1591 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1592 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1593 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1594 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1595 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1596 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1597 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1598 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1599 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1600 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1601 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1602 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1603 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1607 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1610 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1611 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1612 become part of libeay.num as well.
1615 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1616 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1617 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1618 false once a handshake has been completed.
1619 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1620 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1621 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1622 client has followed the request.)
1625 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1626 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1627 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1628 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1630 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1631 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1632 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1635 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1638 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1639 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1640 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1643 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1644 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1647 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1648 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1649 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1650 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1653 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1654 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1655 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1656 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1657 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1658 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1661 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1662 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1663 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1664 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1665 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1666 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1667 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1668 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1671 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1672 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1675 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1678 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1679 md_data void pointer.
1682 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1683 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1684 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1685 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1686 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1687 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1690 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1691 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1692 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1693 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1694 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1695 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1696 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1697 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1698 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1699 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1700 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1701 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1702 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1703 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1704 rather than letting it slide.
1706 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1707 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1708 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1711 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1712 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1713 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1714 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1715 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1716 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1717 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1718 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1719 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1722 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1723 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1724 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1725 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1726 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1728 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1731 *) Add EVP test program.
1734 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1737 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1738 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1739 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1740 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1741 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1744 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1745 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1746 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1747 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1748 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1749 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1750 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1752 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1753 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1754 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1759 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1760 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1761 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1762 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1763 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1767 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1768 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1769 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1770 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1773 des_key_schedule ks;
1775 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1776 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1778 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1781 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1782 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1783 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1784 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1785 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1786 functions prevents this.
1789 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1792 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1793 correct _ecb suffix.
1796 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1797 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1798 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1799 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1800 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1803 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1806 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1807 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1808 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1809 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1811 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1812 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1814 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.

1817 via Richard Levitte]
1819 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1820 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1821 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1822 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1825 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1828 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
1829 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

1843 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1844 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1846 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1847 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1848 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1849 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1850 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1851 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1854 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1855 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1858 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1859 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1860 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1861 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1863 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1864 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1865 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1866 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1867 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1868 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1872 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1873 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1874 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1875 and interrupts/cancellations.
1878 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1879 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1882 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1883 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1884 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1886 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1887 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1891 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1892 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1893 than this minimum value is recommended.
1896 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1897 that are easily reachable.
1900 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1901 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1903 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1905 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1906 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1907 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1908 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1911 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1912 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1913 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1916 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1917 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1918 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1919 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1920 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1921 internally such as S/MIME.
1923 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1924 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1925 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1927 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1931 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1932 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1933 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1934 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1936 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1938 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1940 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1941 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1942 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1946 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1947 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1948 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1949 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1950 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1951 a window system and the like.
1954 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1955 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1958 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1959 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1960 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1961 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1962 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1963 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1964 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1965 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1966 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1970 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1971 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1975 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1976 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1977 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1978 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1979 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1980 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1981 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1982 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1985 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1986 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1987 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1988 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1989 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1990 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1991 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1992 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1993 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1994 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1995 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1996 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1997 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1998 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1999 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2000 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2001 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2004 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2005 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2006 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2007 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2008 internal engine_int.h header.
2011 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2012 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2013 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2014 modify their own ones).
2017 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2018 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2019 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2020 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2021 later on via ctrl() commands.
2022 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2023 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2024 structural references.
2025 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2026 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2027 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2028 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2029 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2030 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2031 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2032 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2033 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2034 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2035 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2036 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2039 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2040 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2041 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2042 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2043 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2044 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2045 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2046 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2049 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2050 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2053 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2054 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2057 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2058 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2059 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2060 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2061 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2062 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2063 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2066 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2067 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2068 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2069 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2070 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2072 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2073 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2077 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2079 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2080 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2081 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2083 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2084 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2086 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2087 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2088 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2090 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2091 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2093 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2094 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2096 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2098 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2099 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2100 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2103 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2104 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2107 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2108 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2109 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2110 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2111 is 40 of more characters long.
2114 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2115 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2119 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2120 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2123 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2124 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2128 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2130 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2131 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2134 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2136 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2137 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2138 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2140 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2141 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2143 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2146 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2150 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2151 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2152 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2153 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2155 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2157 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2158 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2160 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2161 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2162 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2163 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2164 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2165 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2167 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2168 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2170 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2171 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2173 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2174 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2176 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2177 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2178 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2179 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2181 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2182 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2184 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2185 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2187 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2188 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2189 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2190 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2191 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2194 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2195 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2196 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2197 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2200 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2201 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2202 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2206 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2207 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2208 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2209 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2210 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2211 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2212 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2213 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2217 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2218 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2221 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2222 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2223 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2224 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2227 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2228 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2229 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2230 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2231 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2232 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2233 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2234 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2235 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2236 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2239 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2240 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2241 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2242 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2243 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2244 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2245 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2246 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2248 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2249 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2250 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2251 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2254 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2255 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2256 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2257 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2259 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2260 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2261 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2262 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2263 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2267 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2268 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2269 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2270 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2274 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2275 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2276 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2279 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2280 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2281 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2282 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2283 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2286 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2289 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2290 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2291 option to ocsp utility.
2294 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2295 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2296 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2297 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2298 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2299 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2300 the request is nonce-less.
2303 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2304 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2305 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2308 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2309 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2310 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2313 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2314 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2315 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2316 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2317 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2320 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2321 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2325 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2326 additional certificates supplied.
2329 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2330 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2334 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2335 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2338 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2339 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2340 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2341 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2342 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2343 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2344 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2345 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2346 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2348 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2349 request to response.
2352 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2353 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2354 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2355 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2356 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2357 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2358 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2359 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2360 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2361 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2362 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2365 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2366 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2367 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2368 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2371 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2372 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2374 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2375 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2376 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2379 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2380 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2381 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2382 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2383 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2385 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2386 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2387 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2390 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2391 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2392 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2393 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2394 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2395 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2396 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2397 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2399 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2400 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2401 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2402 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2403 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2404 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2407 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2408 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2409 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2410 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2411 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2412 printout format cleaned up.
2415 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2416 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2417 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2418 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2419 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2420 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2421 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2422 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2425 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2426 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2427 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2428 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2429 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2430 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2431 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2432 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2435 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2436 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2437 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2438 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2440 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2442 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2443 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2444 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2445 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2448 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2449 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2450 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2451 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2453 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2455 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2456 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2457 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2458 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2460 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2461 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2463 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2464 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2465 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2468 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2469 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2470 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2473 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2474 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2475 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2476 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2477 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2478 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2479 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2480 functions are provided:
2482 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2483 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2484 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2485 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2487 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2488 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2489 extended allocation function is enabled.
2490 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2491 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2492 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2494 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2495 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2496 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2497 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2498 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2501 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2502 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2503 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2505 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2506 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2507 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2510 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2511 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2512 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2513 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2514 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2515 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2516 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2517 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2518 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2521 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2522 provide utility functions which an application needing
2523 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2524 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2525 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2527 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2528 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2529 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2530 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2531 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2532 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2533 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2534 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2535 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2537 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2538 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2539 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2540 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2543 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2544 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2545 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2546 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2547 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2548 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2549 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2550 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2551 will be added elsewhere.
2554 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2555 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2556 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2557 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2560 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2561 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2562 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2563 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2564 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2565 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2566 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2567 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2568 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2569 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2570 to produce the required SET OF.
2573 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2574 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2575 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2578 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2579 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2580 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2581 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2582 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2583 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2586 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2587 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2588 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2591 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2592 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2593 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2596 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2597 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2598 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2599 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2600 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2603 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2604 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2607 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2608 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2609 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2610 certifcates and CRLs.
2613 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2614 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2615 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2618 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2619 entries for variables.
2622 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2623 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2624 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2625 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2628 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2629 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2630 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2631 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2632 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2633 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2636 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2637 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2639 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2640 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2641 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2644 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2648 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2649 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2650 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2651 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2652 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2653 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2656 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2659 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2660 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2661 for now but they will eventually go away.
2664 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2665 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2666 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2667 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2668 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2669 has also been converted to the new form.
2672 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2673 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2674 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2675 for negative moduli.
2678 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2679 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2682 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2686 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2687 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2688 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2689 type-specific callbacks.
2692 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2694 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2695 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2697 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2698 in sections depending on the subject.
2701 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2705 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2706 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2707 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2708 be handled deterministically).
2709 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2711 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2712 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2713 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2716 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2719 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2720 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2721 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2722 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2723 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2726 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2727 sign of the number in question.
2729 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2731 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2732 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2733 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2734 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2735 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2738 *) New function BN_swap.
2741 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2742 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2743 results on negative inputs.
2746 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2747 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2748 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2751 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2752 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2753 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2754 and add new functions:
2763 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2767 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2769 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2770 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2772 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2773 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2774 be reduced modulo m.
2775 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2778 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2779 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2780 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2782 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2783 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2784 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2785 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2786 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2787 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2792 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2793 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2794 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2795 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2796 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2798 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2799 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2800 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2804 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2807 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2808 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2811 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2812 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2813 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2814 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2818 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2821 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2824 *) Add the following functions:
2826 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2828 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2830 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2832 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2833 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2834 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2835 libraries unless it's really needed.
2837 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2838 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2839 declarations (they differed!).
2842 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2845 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2848 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2851 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2852 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2855 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2856 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2857 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2859 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2860 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2863 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2866 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2869 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2872 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2873 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2874 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2876 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2877 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2878 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2879 different shared library filenames on each system.
2882 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2885 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2886 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2887 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2889 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2892 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2893 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2894 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2895 binary backward compatibility.
2896 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2897 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2898 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2902 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2903 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2904 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2905 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2909 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2912 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2913 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2914 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2915 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2919 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2922 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
2924 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2925 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
2926 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2928 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
2930 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
2932 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
2933 certain ASN.1 tags (CAN-2003-0851)
2936 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
2938 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2940 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2941 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2943 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2944 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2948 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2949 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2953 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2954 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2955 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2956 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2958 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2959 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2962 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
2964 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2965 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2966 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2967 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2970 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2971 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2972 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2973 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2974 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2976 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2977 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2978 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2979 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2980 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2981 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2982 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2983 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2984 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2987 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
2989 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2990 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2991 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2992 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2993 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
2995 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2996 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2997 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2999 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3001 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3002 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3003 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3004 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3005 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3006 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3009 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3010 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3011 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3012 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3013 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3016 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3017 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3018 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3020 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3021 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3022 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3026 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3027 being properly terminated.
3030 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3031 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3032 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3033 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3035 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3036 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3037 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3038 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3039 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3040 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3041 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3043 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3045 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3046 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3049 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3050 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3051 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3052 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3053 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3054 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3055 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3056 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3058 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3059 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3060 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3061 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3062 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3064 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3065 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3068 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3070 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3071 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3072 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3074 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3076 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3077 and get fix the header length calculation.
3078 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3079 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3082 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3083 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3084 assertions could call abort()).
3085 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3087 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3089 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3090 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3091 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3093 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3095 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3096 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3097 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3100 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3104 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3105 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3106 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3108 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3109 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3110 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3111 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3112 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3116 *) Changes in security patch:
3118 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3119 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3120 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3123 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3124 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3125 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3126 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
3127 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3129 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3131 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3133 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3134 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
3135 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3137 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3138 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
3139 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3141 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3142 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
3143 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3145 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3147 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3148 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3149 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3151 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3152 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3154 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3155 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3156 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3157 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3158 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3159 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3162 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3163 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3164 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3165 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3168 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3171 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3172 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3173 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3174 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3175 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3176 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3178 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3179 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3180 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3181 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3182 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3185 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3186 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3187 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3188 BN_generate_prime().)
3190 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3191 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3192 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3196 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3197 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3200 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3201 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3202 when using non-blocking I/O.
3203 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3205 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3206 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3208 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3209 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3212 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3213 configuration for the versions before that.
3214 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3216 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3217 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3218 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3219 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3222 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3223 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3224 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3227 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3231 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3232 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3233 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3235 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3236 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3238 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3239 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3240 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3241 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3242 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3243 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3244 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3247 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3248 using a local variable.
3249 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3251 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3252 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3253 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3255 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3258 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3259 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3261 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3262 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3263 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3265 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3267 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3268 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3269 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3270 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3273 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3277 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3278 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3279 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3280 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3281 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3283 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3284 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3285 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3287 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3288 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3289 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3291 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3292 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3293 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3294 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3296 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3297 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3298 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3300 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3302 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3303 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3305 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3307 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3308 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3309 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3310 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3312 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3313 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3314 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3315 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3317 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3318 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3320 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3321 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3322 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3325 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3326 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3327 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3329 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3331 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3332 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3333 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3334 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3335 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3336 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3337 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3340 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3341 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3342 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3343 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3345 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3346 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3347 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3348 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3349 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3350 the client will at least see that alert.
3353 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3357 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3358 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3359 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3361 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3362 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3363 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3364 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3367 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3368 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3369 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3371 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3372 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3373 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3374 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3375 may leak via logfiles.)
3377 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3378 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3379 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3380 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3384 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3385 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3388 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3389 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3390 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3391 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3392 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3395 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3396 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3398 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3399 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3400 followed by modular reduction.
3401 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3403 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3404 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3407 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3408 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3409 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3410 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3413 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3416 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3417 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3420 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3421 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3422 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3423 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3424 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3425 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3427 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3429 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3430 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3431 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3432 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3433 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3435 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3438 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3439 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3440 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3441 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3442 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3443 to allow the necessary settings.
3446 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3447 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3448 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3449 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3452 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3453 dh->length and always used
3455 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3457 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3458 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3459 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3460 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3461 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3466 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3468 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3474 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3475 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3476 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3477 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3479 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3480 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3481 always reject numbers >= n.
3484 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3485 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3486 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3487 variable) is not atomic.
3490 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3491 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3492 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3493 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3495 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3496 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3498 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3500 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3502 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3505 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3507 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3508 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3509 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3510 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3511 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3512 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3513 to traverse all of 'state'.
3515 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3516 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3517 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3519 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3520 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3522 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3523 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3524 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3525 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3526 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3527 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3528 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3529 further strengthens the PRNG.
3532 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3535 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3536 an error message in this case.
3539 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3542 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3543 positive and less than q.
3546 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3547 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3549 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3551 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3552 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3556 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3558 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3559 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3560 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3561 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3562 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3563 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3564 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3567 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3568 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3569 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3570 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3572 Both problems are now fixed.
3575 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3576 (previously it was 1024).
3579 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3580 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3583 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3586 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3587 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3588 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3591 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3592 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3593 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3594 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3595 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3596 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3597 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3598 environment variables.
3600 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3601 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3602 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3605 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3606 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3607 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3608 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3609 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3610 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3613 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3617 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3619 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3620 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3622 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3623 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3624 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3625 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3629 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3630 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3631 amount of data available.
3632 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3633 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3635 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3636 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3637 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3638 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3641 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3642 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3646 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3647 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3648 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3649 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3652 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3655 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3658 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3659 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3661 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3663 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3664 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3665 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3666 (but broken) behaviour.
3669 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3671 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3673 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3674 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3677 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3681 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3682 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3684 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3687 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3688 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3689 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3691 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3692 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3693 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3696 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3697 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3700 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3701 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3703 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3705 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3707 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3708 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3709 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3710 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3713 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3716 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3717 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3718 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3720 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3723 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3725 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3726 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3727 but the code is actually correct.
3730 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3731 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3732 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3733 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3734 and leaves the highest bit random.
3735 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3737 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3738 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3739 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3740 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3741 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3742 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3743 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3746 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3749 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3750 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3753 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3754 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3755 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3756 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3760 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3761 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3762 and break the signature.
3764 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3766 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3770 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3771 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3772 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3773 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3774 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3777 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3778 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3780 *) ./config script fixes.
3781 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3783 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3786 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3787 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3788 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3789 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3790 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3792 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3793 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3796 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3797 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3800 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3801 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3802 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3803 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3805 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3806 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3808 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3809 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3810 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3811 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3812 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3814 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3817 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3820 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3823 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3826 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3827 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3830 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3831 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3832 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3833 result of the server certificate verification.)
3836 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3837 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3838 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3842 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3843 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3844 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3845 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3846 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3847 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3848 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3849 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3852 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3853 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3854 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3855 happening the other way round.
3858 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3859 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3862 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3863 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3864 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3865 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3868 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3869 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3871 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3873 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3874 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3875 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3878 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3880 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3882 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3886 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3888 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3889 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3890 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3891 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3892 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3894 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3895 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3899 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3902 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3904 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3905 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3906 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3907 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3908 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3909 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3910 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3911 by the Finished messages.
3914 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3915 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3917 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3918 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3919 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3920 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3921 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3925 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3926 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3927 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3928 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3929 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3930 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3931 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3932 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3933 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3937 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3938 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3939 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3940 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3942 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3943 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3944 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3945 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3946 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3949 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3950 been tested well enough.
3953 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3954 it can return incorrect results.
3955 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3956 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3959 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3960 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3961 include zero length content when signing messages.
3964 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3965 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3968 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3971 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3975 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3976 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3977 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3978 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3979 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3980 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3983 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3984 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3986 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3987 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3989 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3990 random number < q in the DSA library.
3993 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3994 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3995 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3996 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3997 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3998 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3999 just makes things more complicated.)
4002 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4006 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4007 work better on such systems.
4008 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4010 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4011 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4012 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4015 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4016 if there was more than one signature.
4017 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4019 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4020 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4021 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4022 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4025 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4026 rather than always using the current time.
4029 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4030 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4031 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4032 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4033 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4034 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4036 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4037 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4039 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4041 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4042 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4043 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4044 the same hash value.
4046 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4047 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4048 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4049 with X509_STORE internally.
4051 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4052 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4054 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4055 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4056 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4057 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4058 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4059 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4060 entirely (maybe later...).
4062 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4064 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4065 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4066 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4067 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4068 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4069 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4070 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4071 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4073 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4074 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4076 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4077 to customise the verify behaviour.
4080 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4081 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4084 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4085 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4086 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4087 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4088 request is improperly encoded.
4091 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4092 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4095 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4096 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4098 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4099 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4103 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4104 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4105 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4108 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4109 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4110 BIO/fp routines also added.
4113 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4114 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4116 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4117 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4118 demos/state_machine.
4121 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4122 generation and verification.
4125 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4126 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4127 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4128 encode and decode it manually.
4131 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4133 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4135 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4136 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4137 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4138 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4140 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4141 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4142 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4143 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4144 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4147 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4150 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4151 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4152 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4154 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4155 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4156 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4157 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4158 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4159 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4160 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4161 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4163 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4164 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4166 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4168 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4169 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4170 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4174 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4175 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4176 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4177 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4181 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4183 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4186 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4187 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4188 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4189 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4190 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4191 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4192 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4193 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4194 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4195 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4196 short or long names are found.
4199 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4200 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4202 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4203 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4204 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4205 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4207 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4208 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4209 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4210 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4213 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4214 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4215 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4218 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4219 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4220 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4221 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4222 to allow the various flags to be set.
4225 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4226 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4227 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4228 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4229 dates to be checked.
4232 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4233 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4234 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4237 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4238 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4239 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4242 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4243 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4246 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4247 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4248 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4249 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4250 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4251 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4254 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4255 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4259 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4263 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4264 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4265 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4266 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4267 form signing output easier to verify.
4270 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4273 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4274 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4275 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4276 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4277 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4278 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4279 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4280 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4281 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4282 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4285 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4287 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4288 the syntax given in objects.README.
4289 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4291 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4294 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4295 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4296 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4297 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4298 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4299 consistent name changes.
4302 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4305 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4306 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4307 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4308 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4311 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4312 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4313 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4317 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4318 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4319 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4320 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4323 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4324 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4325 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4326 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4327 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4328 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4329 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4330 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4331 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4332 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4333 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4336 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4337 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4338 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4339 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4340 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4341 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4342 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4343 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4344 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4345 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4348 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4349 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4350 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4351 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4353 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4354 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4355 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4356 omit any duplicate addresses.
4359 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4360 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4363 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4364 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4365 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4366 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4367 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4370 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4372 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4373 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4374 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4375 Free => OPENSSL_free
4378 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4379 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4382 *) CygWin32 support.
4383 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4385 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4386 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4387 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4388 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4389 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4393 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4394 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4395 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4396 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4397 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4398 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4399 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4402 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4403 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4404 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4405 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4406 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4407 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4408 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4409 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4410 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4411 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4412 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4415 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4416 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4417 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4418 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4419 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4421 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4422 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4423 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4424 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4425 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4427 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4430 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4431 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4432 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4433 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4435 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4437 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4440 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4441 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4442 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4445 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4446 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4447 any installed hardware versions can.
4450 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4451 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4452 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4456 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4457 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4458 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4459 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4460 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4462 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4463 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4466 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4467 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4470 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4471 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4472 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4476 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4479 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4480 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4481 but no ssl client purpose.
4482 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4484 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4485 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4486 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4487 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4488 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4489 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4490 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4491 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4492 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4493 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4494 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4497 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4498 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4499 be obtained from the error queue.
4502 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4503 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4504 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4505 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4508 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4511 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4512 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4513 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4514 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4515 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4518 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4519 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4520 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4521 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4522 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4525 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4526 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4527 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4529 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4531 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4532 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4533 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4534 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4535 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4536 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4537 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4538 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4539 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4540 or "the configuration storage API"...
4542 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4544 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4545 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4547 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4549 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4551 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4552 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4553 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4554 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4555 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4556 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4557 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4559 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4560 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4563 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4564 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4565 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4566 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4569 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4570 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4571 them in a portable way.
4572 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4574 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4576 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4578 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4579 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4581 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4582 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4583 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4586 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4587 was larger than the MD block size.
4588 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4590 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4591 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4592 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4593 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4597 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4598 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4599 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4601 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4603 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4605 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4606 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4607 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4608 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4609 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4610 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4612 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4613 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4615 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4616 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4619 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4622 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4623 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4625 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4626 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4627 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4628 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4631 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4632 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4633 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4634 does not suppress any output.
4637 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4638 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4639 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4640 with all the associated security issues.
4642 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4643 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4644 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4645 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4646 use the value in the default purpose.
4649 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4650 and fix a memory leak.
4653 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4654 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4655 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4656 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4659 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4660 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4661 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4662 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4665 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4666 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4667 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4670 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4671 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4674 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4675 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4679 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4680 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4683 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4684 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4685 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4688 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4689 number generation fails.
4692 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4695 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4696 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4698 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4701 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4702 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4704 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4705 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4707 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4709 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4710 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4713 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4714 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4716 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4717 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4720 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4721 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4722 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4723 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4724 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4725 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4727 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4728 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4729 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4733 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4734 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4735 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4736 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4737 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4738 counter, some don't.)
4739 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4740 counters or duplicate objects.
4743 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4744 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4747 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4748 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4749 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4751 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4752 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4753 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4757 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4758 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4761 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4762 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4763 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4767 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4768 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4769 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4772 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4773 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4774 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4775 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4776 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4777 should work without changes.
4780 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4781 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4782 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4783 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4784 must be defined. E.g.,
4785 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4786 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4787 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4788 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4790 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4794 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4795 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4796 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4799 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4800 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4801 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4802 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4805 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4806 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4807 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4808 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4809 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4810 is prompted for as usual.
4813 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
4814 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
4815 autodetect the card and use it if present.
4816 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
4818 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
4819 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
4820 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
4821 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
4824 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
4827 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
4831 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
4834 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
4837 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
4841 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
4844 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
4847 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
4848 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
4851 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
4852 options to produce them.
4855 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
4856 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
4859 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
4863 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
4864 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
4865 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
4866 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
4867 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
4868 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
4869 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
4872 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
4875 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
4876 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
4877 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
4880 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
4881 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
4883 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
4884 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
4887 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
4888 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
4889 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
4893 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
4894 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4896 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4897 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4898 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4899 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4900 generation becomes much faster.
4902 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4903 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4904 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4905 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4906 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4907 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4908 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4909 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4910 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4911 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4914 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4915 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4916 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4917 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4918 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4919 trial division stage.
4922 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4926 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4929 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4932 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4933 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4934 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4938 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4939 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4940 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4943 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4944 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4945 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4946 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4948 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4949 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4952 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4955 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4956 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4957 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4958 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4961 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4962 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
4963 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
4966 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
4967 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
4968 (instead of parameters) in future.
4971 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
4972 when a new cipher list is set.
4975 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
4976 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
4979 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
4980 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
4981 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
4983 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
4984 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
4985 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
4986 an error is flagged.
4988 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
4989 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
4990 the readability was also increased :-)
4991 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4993 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
4994 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
4995 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
4996 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5000 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5001 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5004 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5005 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5006 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5007 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5010 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5011 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5012 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5013 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5014 because they handle more complex structures.)
5017 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5018 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5019 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5020 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5022 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5023 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5024 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5025 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5026 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5027 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5028 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5031 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5032 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5033 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5034 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5035 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5038 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5041 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5042 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5043 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5044 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5045 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5048 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5052 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5053 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5054 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5055 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5058 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5061 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5062 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5063 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5064 international characters are used.
5066 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5067 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5068 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5072 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5073 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5074 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5077 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5078 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5079 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5080 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5081 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5082 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5084 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5085 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5086 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5087 be handled by the string table functions.
5089 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5090 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5091 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5092 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5093 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5097 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5098 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5099 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5100 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5101 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5103 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5104 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5105 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5106 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5109 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5110 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5111 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5112 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5113 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5117 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5118 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5119 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5120 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5121 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5122 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5123 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5124 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5126 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5127 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5128 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5131 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5132 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5133 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5134 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5135 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5136 support to pkcs8 application.
5139 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5140 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5141 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5142 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5143 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5144 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5147 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5148 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5149 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5150 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5151 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5155 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5156 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5157 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5158 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5162 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5163 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5164 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5165 and any application specific purposes.
5167 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5168 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5169 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5170 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5171 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5172 if the certificate is self signed.
5175 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5176 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5179 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5180 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5181 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5182 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5185 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5186 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5187 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5188 Update documentation.
5191 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5192 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5193 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5194 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5195 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5198 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5200 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5202 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5203 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5204 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5205 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5206 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5207 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5208 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5209 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5210 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5211 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5213 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5215 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5216 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5217 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5218 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5219 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5221 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5222 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5223 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5224 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5225 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5226 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5227 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5228 request additional information:
5229 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5230 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5232 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5233 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5234 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5237 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5238 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5241 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5244 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5245 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5247 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5248 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5249 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5253 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5254 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5255 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5257 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5258 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5259 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5260 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5261 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5262 included in OpenSSL.
5265 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5266 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5267 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5268 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5269 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5270 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5273 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5277 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5278 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5279 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5280 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5281 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5285 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5289 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5290 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5291 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5292 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5293 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5294 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5295 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5296 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5297 be maintained manually.
5299 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5300 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5301 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5302 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5303 work because people forget to call this function]
5304 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5305 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5306 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5309 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5310 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5311 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5312 should be discouraged from doing it.
5315 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5316 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5317 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5318 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5319 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5320 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5323 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5324 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5325 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5327 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5328 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5329 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5331 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5332 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5333 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5334 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5335 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5336 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5338 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5339 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5340 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5342 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5343 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5346 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5347 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5348 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5349 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5352 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5355 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5356 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5357 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5358 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5359 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5360 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5361 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5362 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5363 keys so we should be OK.
5365 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5366 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5367 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5368 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5369 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5370 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5371 stay in the name of compatibility.
5373 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5374 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5375 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5377 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5378 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5379 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5380 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5381 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5382 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5386 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5387 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5388 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5389 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5390 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5391 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5392 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5393 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5394 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5395 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5396 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5397 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5398 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5401 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5404 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5405 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5406 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5407 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5408 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5409 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5410 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5411 openssl verify ss.pem
5412 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5413 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5417 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5418 (and add it to external session representation).
5419 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5420 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5421 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5422 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5423 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5424 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5426 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5428 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5429 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5430 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5431 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5433 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5434 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5435 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5438 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5439 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5440 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5444 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5445 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5446 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5448 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5449 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5450 certificate auxiliary information.
5453 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5457 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5458 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5459 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5460 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5461 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5462 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5463 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5466 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5467 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5470 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5471 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5472 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5473 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5476 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5479 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5480 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5483 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5484 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5485 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5486 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5487 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5488 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5489 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5490 using the new 'x509' options.
5492 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5493 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5494 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5495 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5499 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5500 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5501 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5502 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5503 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5506 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5507 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5508 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5509 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5510 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5511 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5512 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5513 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5514 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5515 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5518 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5519 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5520 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5521 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5522 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5523 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5524 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5527 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5528 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5529 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5530 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5531 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5532 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5533 openssl.cnf for more info.
5536 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5537 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5538 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5539 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5540 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5541 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5542 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5543 md should be large enough anyway.
5546 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5547 for handling the random seed file.
5549 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5551 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5554 x509 (when signing).
5555 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5556 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5557 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5559 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5560 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5561 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5562 that support '-rand'.
5565 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5566 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5569 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5570 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5573 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5574 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5575 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5576 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5580 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5581 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5582 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5583 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5586 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5587 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5588 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5589 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5590 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5591 print out all the purposes.
5594 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5598 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5599 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5600 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5601 single function call.
5604 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5605 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5608 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5609 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5610 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5613 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5614 when producing the local key id.
5615 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5617 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5618 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5619 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5623 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5624 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5625 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5626 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5629 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5630 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5631 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5632 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5634 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5635 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5636 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5637 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5639 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5640 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5641 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5642 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5643 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5644 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5645 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5646 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5647 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5648 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5649 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5650 trivial: move one line.
5651 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5653 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5654 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5655 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5656 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5657 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5658 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5659 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5660 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5661 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5662 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5663 with an event loop for example.
5666 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5667 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5668 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5669 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5670 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5671 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5672 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5673 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5674 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5677 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5678 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5679 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5680 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5681 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5682 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5685 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5686 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5687 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5688 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5690 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5691 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5692 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5693 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5697 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5698 (still largely untested)
5701 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5702 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5705 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5706 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5709 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5710 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5711 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5714 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5715 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5716 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5717 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5718 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5721 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5724 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5725 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5726 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5727 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5728 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5732 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5733 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5736 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5739 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5740 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5741 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5742 are otherwise ignored at present.
5745 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5746 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5747 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5748 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5749 copied until the next read.
5752 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5753 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5754 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5757 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5758 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5759 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5760 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5761 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5762 associated functions.
5765 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5766 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5767 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5768 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5769 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5770 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5771 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5772 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5773 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5777 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5778 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5779 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5780 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5783 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5784 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5785 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5786 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5787 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5791 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5792 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5796 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5797 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5798 extensions to be obtained and added.
5801 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5802 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5805 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5807 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5808 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5810 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5811 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
5813 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
5817 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
5818 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
5819 DH parameters contain its length).
5821 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
5822 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
5823 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
5824 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
5825 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
5826 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
5827 utter importance to use
5828 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5830 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5831 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
5832 attacks may become possible!
5835 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
5838 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
5839 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
5842 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
5843 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
5844 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
5848 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
5849 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
5850 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
5851 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
5852 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
5853 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
5854 private key operations.
5857 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
5860 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
5861 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
5863 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
5864 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
5865 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
5866 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
5867 the password callback is called.
5868 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
5870 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
5872 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
5873 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
5874 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
5875 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
5876 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
5877 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
5880 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
5881 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
5882 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
5883 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
5884 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
5885 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
5888 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
5891 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
5892 delete an unused file.
5895 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5896 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5897 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5898 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5901 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5902 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5903 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5907 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5908 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5909 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5911 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5912 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5913 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5914 comparison" warnings.
5915 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5918 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5919 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5920 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5923 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5924 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5926 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5927 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5929 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5930 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5931 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5933 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5934 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5935 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5936 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5937 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5939 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5941 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5942 The interface is as follows:
5943 Applications can use
5944 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5945 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5946 "off" is now the default.
5947 The library internally uses
5948 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5949 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5950 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5952 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5953 even the default) are now avoided.
5955 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5956 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5957 than just having a counter.
5959 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5961 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
5965 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
5966 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
5967 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
5968 Initial "mode" flags are:
5970 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
5971 a single record has been written.
5972 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
5973 retries use the same buffer location.
5974 (But all of the contents must be
5978 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
5981 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
5982 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
5984 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
5985 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
5986 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
5989 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
5990 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
5992 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
5994 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
5995 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
5996 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
5997 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
5999 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6000 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6002 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6003 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6004 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6005 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6006 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6007 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6010 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6011 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6012 necessary function names.
6015 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6016 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6017 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6018 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6021 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6022 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6023 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6026 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6027 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6028 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6029 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6031 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6035 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6036 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6037 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6040 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6041 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6045 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6046 for the encoded length.
6047 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6049 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6052 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6053 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6054 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6055 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6058 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6059 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6060 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6062 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6063 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6064 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6068 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6069 to use the new extension code.
6072 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6073 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6074 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6078 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6079 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6080 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6084 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6087 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6088 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6089 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6092 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6093 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6094 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6095 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6098 *) DES library cleanups.
6101 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6102 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6103 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6104 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6105 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6109 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6110 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6113 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6114 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6115 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6116 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6117 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6118 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6119 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6120 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6121 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6124 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6125 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6126 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6127 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6128 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6129 value doesn't matter.
6132 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6136 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6137 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6138 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6139 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6141 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6144 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6145 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6146 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6148 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6149 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6151 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6154 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6157 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6160 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6164 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6166 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6168 *) Updated some demos.
6169 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6171 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6174 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6177 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6180 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6181 instead of using a fixed path.
6184 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6187 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6191 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6193 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6194 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6195 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6197 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6198 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6199 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6200 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6201 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6202 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6203 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6204 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6205 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6206 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6209 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6210 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6213 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6214 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6215 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6216 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6217 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6219 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6222 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6223 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6224 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6227 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6230 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6231 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6232 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6233 key elements as negative integers.
6236 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6237 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6240 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6242 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6243 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6244 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6247 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6248 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6249 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6250 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6251 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6254 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6257 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6258 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6259 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6260 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6262 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6263 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6264 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6266 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6267 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6268 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6269 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6270 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6271 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6272 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6273 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6274 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6276 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6277 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6278 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6279 does not influence s as it used to.
6281 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6282 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6283 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6284 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6285 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6286 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6289 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6290 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6291 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6295 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6296 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6297 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6301 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6302 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6303 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6307 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6308 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6311 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6312 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6317 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6318 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6320 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6321 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6323 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6326 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6329 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6330 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6332 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6333 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6334 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6338 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6339 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6340 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6341 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6342 now it really counts the depth.
6345 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6346 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6347 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6348 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6349 didn't match the private key).
6351 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6352 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6353 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6356 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6359 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6363 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6364 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6365 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6368 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6371 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6372 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6373 such as /usr/local/bin.
6376 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6377 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6379 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6382 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6383 extension adding in x509 utility.
6386 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6389 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6393 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6396 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6397 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6398 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6399 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6400 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6401 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6402 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6403 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6404 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6405 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6408 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6411 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6412 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6415 *) Fix some race conditions.
6418 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6419 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6422 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6425 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6426 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6427 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6428 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6430 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6431 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6433 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6434 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6435 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6437 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6438 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6440 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6443 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6444 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6446 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6449 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6450 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6452 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6453 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6456 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6457 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6460 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6461 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6464 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6465 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6468 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6469 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6472 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6473 support typesafe stack.
6476 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6477 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6479 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6480 old X509V3 handling code.
6483 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6486 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6489 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6492 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6493 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6495 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6496 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6497 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6498 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6499 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6502 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6503 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6504 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6505 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6506 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6508 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6509 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6510 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6511 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6513 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6514 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6515 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6516 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6518 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6519 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6520 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6521 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6522 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6523 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6526 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6527 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6530 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6531 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6534 *) Tweaks to Configure
6535 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6537 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6541 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6544 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6545 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6548 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6549 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6550 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6553 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6556 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6557 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6560 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6561 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6562 to library startup routines.
6565 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6566 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6567 codes along the way.
6570 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6571 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6572 objects to objects.h
6575 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6576 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6579 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6580 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6582 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6583 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6584 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6586 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6587 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6588 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6590 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6591 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6592 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6595 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6597 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6598 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6601 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6602 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6603 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6604 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6605 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6607 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6608 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6609 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6611 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6613 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6615 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6617 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6618 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6620 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6621 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6622 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6623 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6625 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6628 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6629 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6630 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6631 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6634 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6635 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6636 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6639 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6640 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6641 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6642 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6643 installed as `perl').
6644 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6646 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6647 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6649 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6650 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6651 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6652 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6653 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6656 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6659 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6660 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6661 is horrible: I feel ill....
6664 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6665 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6666 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6667 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6670 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6671 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6673 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6674 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6675 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6676 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6678 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6679 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6680 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6681 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6682 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6683 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6685 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6687 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6688 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6690 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6691 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6693 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6696 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6697 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6701 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6702 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6703 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6704 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6705 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6706 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6707 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6708 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6709 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6710 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6711 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6713 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6716 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6717 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6718 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6719 for linking it into DSOs.
6720 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6722 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6726 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6727 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6728 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6729 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6730 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6731 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6733 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6734 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6735 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6736 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6737 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6738 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6739 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6741 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6742 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6743 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6747 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6748 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6749 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6750 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6753 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6754 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6755 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6756 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6757 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6761 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6762 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6763 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6764 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6765 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6767 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6768 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6769 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6771 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6772 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6774 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6775 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6776 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6777 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6778 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6781 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6782 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6783 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6784 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6785 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6786 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6787 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6790 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6792 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6793 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6796 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6797 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6799 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6800 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6803 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6804 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6805 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6806 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6807 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6809 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6810 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6811 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
6812 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
6813 no way to reconfigure them.
6814 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
6815 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
6816 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
6817 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
6818 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
6819 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6821 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
6822 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
6823 recognized by the users.
6824 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6826 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
6827 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
6828 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
6829 already masked variable.
6830 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6832 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
6833 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6835 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
6836 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
6837 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
6838 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6840 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
6841 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
6842 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6844 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
6845 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
6846 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
6847 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
6848 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
6849 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
6850 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
6851 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
6853 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6855 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
6856 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
6857 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6859 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
6860 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
6864 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
6865 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6867 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
6868 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
6869 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
6870 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
6873 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
6876 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
6877 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6879 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
6882 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
6883 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
6886 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
6887 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
6890 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
6891 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
6892 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
6893 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
6894 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
6895 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6896 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6899 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6900 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6902 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6903 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6904 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6905 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6906 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6908 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6909 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6910 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6913 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6914 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6918 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6919 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6920 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6922 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6923 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6924 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6928 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6929 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6930 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6931 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6934 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6935 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6936 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6937 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6940 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6941 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6942 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6943 so it wasn't spotted.
6944 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6946 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6947 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6948 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6949 vectors if you have them.
6952 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6953 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6956 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6957 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6958 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6959 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6961 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6962 it will update them.
6965 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
6966 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
6967 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
6968 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
6969 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
6970 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
6971 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
6972 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6974 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
6975 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
6976 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
6977 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
6978 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
6979 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
6980 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
6981 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
6982 the crypto/md/ stuff).
6983 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6985 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
6986 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
6987 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
6988 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
6989 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
6992 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
6996 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
6997 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6999 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7000 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7002 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7003 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7006 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7007 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7009 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7010 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7012 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7015 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7019 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7020 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7021 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7022 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7024 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7027 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7030 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7033 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7034 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7037 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7038 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7042 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7043 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7046 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7047 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7048 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7051 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7052 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7053 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7054 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7055 properly to be processed.
7058 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7059 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7060 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7063 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7064 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7066 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7067 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7068 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7069 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7070 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7071 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7072 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7073 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7074 or delete all the .err files.
7077 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7078 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7079 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7080 to regenerate it if needed.
7081 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7082 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7084 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7085 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7087 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7088 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7089 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7090 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7091 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7094 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7095 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7097 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7098 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7100 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7101 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7102 error, but didn't set one).
7103 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7105 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7108 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7109 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7112 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7113 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7115 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7116 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7117 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7118 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7119 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7120 OID is not part of the table.
7123 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7124 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7127 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7130 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7131 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7135 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7136 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7138 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7140 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7142 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7143 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7145 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7146 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7148 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7149 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7151 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7152 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7155 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7156 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7159 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7160 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7162 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7163 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7165 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7166 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7168 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7169 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7171 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7172 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7173 unused in the certificate verification process.
7174 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7176 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7177 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7180 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7181 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7182 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7184 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7185 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7186 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7187 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7188 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7190 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7191 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7194 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7197 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7200 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7201 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7203 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7206 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7209 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7212 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7213 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7214 other error libraries.
7217 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7220 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7221 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7225 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7226 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7227 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7228 the new set of documenation files.
7229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7231 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7232 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7233 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7234 number of arguments.
7235 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7237 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7240 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7241 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7242 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7244 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7247 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7251 unixware-2.0-pentium
7255 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7256 before they are needed.
7259 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7263 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7265 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7266 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7267 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7269 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7272 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7273 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7274 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7276 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7277 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7278 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7280 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7281 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7282 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7284 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7285 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7287 *) Updated the README file.
7288 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7290 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7291 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7292 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7294 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7295 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7296 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7298 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7299 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7300 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7301 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7302 o removed obsolete TODO file
7303 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7304 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7306 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7307 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7308 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
7309 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
7310 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
7311 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7312 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7314 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7317 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7318 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7319 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7321 [The OpenSSL Project]
7324 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7326 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7329 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7332 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7333 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7336 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7337 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7341 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7343 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7345 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7348 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7351 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7354 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7357 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7360 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7363 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7366 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7369 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7372 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7375 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7378 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7381 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7384 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7387 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7390 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7393 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7396 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7397 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7398 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7401 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7402 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7405 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7408 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7411 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7412 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7415 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7418 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7421 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7422 bytes sent in the client random.
