5 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
8 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
9 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
10 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
13 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
14 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
15 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
16 using the maximum available value.
19 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
20 in addition to the text details.
23 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
24 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
25 handle several customised structures at all.
28 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
29 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
30 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
33 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
36 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
37 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
38 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
41 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
42 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
43 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
46 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
47 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
51 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
54 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [XX xxx XXXX]
56 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
57 under VC++ build system.
60 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
61 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
64 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
66 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
67 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
68 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
69 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
72 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
73 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
74 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
76 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
79 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
80 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
83 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
84 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
86 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
89 *) Extended Windows CE support.
90 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
92 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
93 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
96 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
97 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
101 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
103 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
106 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
107 key into the same file any more.
110 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
113 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
114 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
116 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
117 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
120 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
121 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
122 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
123 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
124 this only applies when building 'shared'.
125 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
127 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
128 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
129 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
132 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
133 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
134 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
135 - add new function for parameter creation
136 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
137 BN_BLINDING parameters
138 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
139 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
140 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
144 *) Add support for DTLS.
145 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
147 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
148 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
151 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
152 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
155 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
156 the apps/openssl applications.
159 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
160 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
161 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
164 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
165 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
167 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
168 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
170 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
171 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
172 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
173 avoid this algorithm.)
177 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
178 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
179 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
182 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
183 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
186 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
187 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
188 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
191 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
193 The blank line is mandatory.
197 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
198 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
202 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
203 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
205 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
206 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
207 to support policy checking and print out.
210 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
211 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
212 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
213 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
215 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
218 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
219 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
221 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
222 implementation contributed by IBM.
223 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
225 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
226 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
227 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
228 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
230 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
231 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
233 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
234 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
235 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
236 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
237 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
238 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
241 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
242 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
243 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
244 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
245 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
246 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
247 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
250 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
253 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
254 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
255 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
256 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
257 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
258 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
259 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
260 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
263 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
264 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
265 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
266 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
269 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
272 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
275 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
276 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
277 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
278 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
279 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
280 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
284 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
285 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
288 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
289 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
290 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
293 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
294 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
295 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
299 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
300 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
303 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
304 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
305 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
306 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
309 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
310 initialised value as BN_new().
311 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
313 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
316 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
317 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
318 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
319 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
320 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
321 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
322 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
323 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
324 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
325 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
326 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
327 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
328 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
329 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
330 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
332 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
333 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
334 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
335 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
338 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
339 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
340 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
341 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
342 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
343 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
344 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
345 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
346 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
349 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
350 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
351 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
352 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
353 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
354 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
355 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
358 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
359 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
360 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
361 these have been updated also.
364 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
365 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
366 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
367 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
368 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
372 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
373 structure of type "other".
376 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
377 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
378 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
379 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
380 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
381 situation in the script.
382 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
384 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
385 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
386 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
387 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
388 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
389 used as premaster secret.
390 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
392 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
393 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
394 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
396 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
397 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
399 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
400 control of the error stack.
403 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
406 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
407 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
408 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
409 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
412 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
413 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
414 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
417 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
418 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
419 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
423 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
424 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
425 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
426 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
429 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
430 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
431 the following flags are defined:
433 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
434 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
435 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
438 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
439 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
440 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
441 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
445 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
446 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
447 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
448 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
449 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
452 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
453 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
454 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
457 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
458 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
459 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
460 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
461 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
462 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
465 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
469 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
472 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
475 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
478 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
479 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
480 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
481 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
482 default implementation more easily.
485 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
489 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
490 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
493 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
494 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
495 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
496 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
498 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
499 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
500 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
504 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
505 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
509 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
510 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
511 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
512 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
513 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
515 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
517 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
518 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
519 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
523 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
524 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
525 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
526 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
527 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
528 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
529 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
530 linker additions, eg;
531 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
534 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
535 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
536 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
539 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
540 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
541 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
545 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
546 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
547 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
548 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
551 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
552 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
553 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
554 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
555 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
556 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
557 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
558 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
559 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
560 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
562 Example for using the new callback interface:
564 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
568 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
570 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
571 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
572 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
573 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
574 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
575 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
580 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
581 available to TLS with the number defined in
582 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
585 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
586 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
588 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
589 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
590 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
591 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
593 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
594 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
596 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
597 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
601 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
602 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
605 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
606 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
607 and a macro that behave like
608 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
610 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
613 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
614 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
615 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
617 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
619 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
622 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
623 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
624 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
625 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
627 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
628 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
629 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
630 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
631 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
632 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
633 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
634 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
636 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
637 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
640 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
641 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
643 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
644 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
645 files while avoiding the low level API.
647 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
648 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
649 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
650 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
652 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
653 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
654 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
655 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
656 instead of the low level API.
659 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
660 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
661 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
662 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
663 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
666 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
667 down to the template encoder.
670 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
671 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
674 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
675 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
676 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
677 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
679 *) Add ECDH engine support.
680 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
682 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
683 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
685 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
686 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
689 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
690 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
691 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
694 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
695 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
697 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
698 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
700 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
701 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
704 EC_GF2m_simple_method
708 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
709 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
710 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
711 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
712 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
713 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
715 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
716 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
719 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
720 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
721 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
722 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
723 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
724 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
725 various internal method names.)
727 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
728 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
730 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
731 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
733 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
734 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
736 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
737 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
738 methods are undefined.
740 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
741 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
743 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
744 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
745 length of the modulus.
747 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
748 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
750 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
751 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
753 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
754 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
756 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
757 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
758 used) in the following functions [macros]:
761 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
762 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
763 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
764 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
766 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
767 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
768 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
769 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
771 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
772 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
774 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
775 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
776 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
777 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
778 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
780 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
781 This applies to the following functions:
786 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
787 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
790 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
794 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
799 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
801 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
802 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
803 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
804 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
805 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
807 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
808 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
810 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
811 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
812 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
814 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
815 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
817 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
818 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
819 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
820 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
821 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
823 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
825 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
826 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
827 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
828 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
829 These control ASN1 encoding details:
830 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
831 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
832 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
833 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
834 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
835 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
836 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
838 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
842 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
843 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
844 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
846 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
847 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
848 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
849 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
856 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
857 EC_POINT_oct2point().
858 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
860 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
861 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
862 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
864 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
865 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
866 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
867 adding different types of curves.
868 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
870 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
871 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
872 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
875 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
876 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
878 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
879 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
880 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
881 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
883 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
885 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
886 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
888 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
889 library. Most notably,
890 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
891 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
892 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
893 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
894 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
895 extracted before the specific public key;
896 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
897 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
899 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
900 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
902 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
903 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
904 EC_get_builtin_curves().
905 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
907 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
908 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
909 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
911 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
912 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
913 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
914 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
915 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
916 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
920 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
922 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
923 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
924 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
925 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
926 the difference induced by this change.
929 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
931 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
932 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
933 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
934 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
935 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
937 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
938 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
939 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
941 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
942 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
945 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
946 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
947 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
948 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
952 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
953 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
954 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
955 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
956 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
958 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
959 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
960 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
961 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
962 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
963 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
965 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
967 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
968 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
969 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
970 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
971 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
974 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
978 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
979 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
980 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
983 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
984 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
988 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
990 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
993 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
994 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
995 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
996 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
997 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
998 some needed definitions.
1001 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1004 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1005 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1006 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1007 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1010 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1012 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1013 server and client random values. Previously
1014 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1015 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1017 This change has negligible security impact because:
1019 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1022 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1025 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1026 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1029 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1032 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1034 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1037 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1038 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1039 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1041 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1044 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1045 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1048 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1049 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1050 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1052 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1055 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1056 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1057 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1061 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1062 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1063 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1064 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1066 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1067 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1068 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1069 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1073 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1075 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1076 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1077 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1078 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1079 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1082 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1085 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1086 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1088 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1089 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1090 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1091 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1092 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1093 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1094 rather than being initialized to 1.
1097 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1099 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1100 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1101 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1103 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1105 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1107 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1108 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1109 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1110 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1111 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1112 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1115 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1116 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1117 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1118 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1119 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1123 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1124 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1125 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1126 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1127 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1130 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1131 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1132 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1136 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1137 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1139 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1142 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1144 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1146 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1147 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1149 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1151 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1152 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1156 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1157 exiting on the first error in a request.
1160 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1161 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1165 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1166 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1167 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1168 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1170 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1171 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1174 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1175 blocks during encryption.
1178 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1179 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1180 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1181 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1185 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1186 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1187 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1188 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1189 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1193 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1195 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1196 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1197 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1198 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1201 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1202 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1203 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1204 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1205 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1207 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1208 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1209 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1210 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1211 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1212 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1213 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1214 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1215 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1218 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1219 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1220 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1221 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1224 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1225 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1228 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1230 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1231 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1232 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1233 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1234 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1236 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1237 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1238 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1240 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1241 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1242 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1243 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1244 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1246 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1247 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1248 used by default when no-err is given.
1251 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1252 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1254 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1255 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1256 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1257 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1258 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1260 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1261 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1262 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1263 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1265 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1267 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1269 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1271 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1272 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1273 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1274 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1278 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1279 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1281 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1282 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1285 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1286 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1287 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1288 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1291 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1292 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1293 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1294 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1295 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1296 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1297 followup to PR #377.
1300 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1301 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1304 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1305 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1306 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1328 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1329 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1330 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1331 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1332 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1333 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1335 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1336 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1337 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1338 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1339 have to be made anyway).
1342 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1343 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1344 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1347 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1348 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1349 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.

1353 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.

1358 edit numbers of the version.

1468 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1469 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1470 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1472 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1473 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1474 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1475 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1477 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1478 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1479 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1482 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1483 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1484 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1485 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1486 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1487 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1488 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1489 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1492 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1493 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1494 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1497 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1498 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1499 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1500 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.

1503 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1504 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1506 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1507 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1510 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1511 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1512 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1513 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1514 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1515 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1518 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1519 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1520 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1523 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1524 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1527 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1528 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1529 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1530 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1531 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1532 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1533 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1536 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1537 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1538 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1539 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1540 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1541 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1544 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1545 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1546 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1547 declaration has been changed from
1550 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1551 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1552 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1553 has been changed into
1554 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1556 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1557 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1558 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1560 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1561 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1563 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1564 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1565 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1566 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1567 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1568 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1569 always load it have also been added.
1572 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1573 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1574 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1576 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1578 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1579 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1580 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1582 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1583 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1584 command line option can be used to specify an
1588 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1589 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1592 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1593 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1594 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1597 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1598 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1599 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1600 to work with the new engine framework.
1601 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1603 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1604 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1605 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1606 to work with the new engine framework.
1609 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1610 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1611 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]

1623 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().

1626 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1627 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1629 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1630 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1631 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1634 *) Add new functions
1636 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1637 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1638 These are similar to
1641 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1642 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1643 still in the error queue.
1644 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1646 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1648 default_algorithms = ALL
1649 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1652 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1655 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1658 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1659 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1660 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1661 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1663 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1664 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1666 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1667 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1669 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1670 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1673 *) New functions/macros
1675 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1676 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1677 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1678 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1680 to request calling a callback function
1682 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1683 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1685 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1686 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1687 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1688 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1689 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1690 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1691 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1692 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1693 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1694 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1696 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1697 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1700 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1701 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1702 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1703 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1704 the configuration scripts.
1706 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1707 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1708 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1710 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1711 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1713 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1714 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1715 when reusing an existing buffer.
1718 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1719 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1722 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1723 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1726 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1727 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1728 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1729 has the same effect.
1730 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1732 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1733 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1734 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1735 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1736 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1737 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1740 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1741 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1742 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1743 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1745 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1746 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1747 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1748 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1750 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1751 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1754 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1755 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1756 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1757 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1758 default), and then completely removed.
1761 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1762 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1763 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1764 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1765 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1766 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1767 particular extension is supported.
1770 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1771 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1774 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1775 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1776 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1777 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1778 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1779 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1780 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1781 requires the destination to be valid.
1783 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1784 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1787 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1788 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1789 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1792 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1793 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1795 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1796 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1797 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1798 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1799 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1800 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1801 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1802 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1803 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1804 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1805 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1806 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1807 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1808 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1809 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1810 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1811 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1812 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1813 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1817 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1820 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1821 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1822 become part of libeay.num as well.
1825 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1826 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1827 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1828 false once a handshake has been completed.
1829 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1830 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1831 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1832 client has followed the request.)
1835 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1836 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1837 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1838 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1840 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1841 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1842 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1845 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1848 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1849 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1850 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1853 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1854 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1857 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1858 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1859 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1860 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1863 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1864 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1865 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1866 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1867 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1868 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1871 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1872 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1873 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1874 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1875 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1876 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1877 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1878 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1881 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1882 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1885 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1888 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1889 md_data void pointer.
1892 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1893 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1894 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1895 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1896 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1897 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1900 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1901 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1902 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1903 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1904 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1905 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1906 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1907 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1908 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1909 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1910 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1911 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1912 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1913 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1914 rather than letting it slide.
1916 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1917 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1918 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1921 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1922 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1923 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1924 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1925 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1926 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1927 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1928 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1929 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1932 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1933 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1934 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1935 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1936 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1938 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1941 *) Add EVP test program.
1944 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1947 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1948 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1949 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1950 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1951 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1954 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1955 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1956 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1957 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1958 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1959 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1960 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1962 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1963 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1964 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1969 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1970 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1971 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1972 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1973 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1977 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1978 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1979 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1980 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1983 des_key_schedule ks;
1985 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1986 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1988 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1991 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1992 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1993 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1994 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1995 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1996 functions prevents this.
1999 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2002 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2003 correct _ecb suffix.
2006 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2007 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2008 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2009 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2010 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2013 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2016 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2017 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2018 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2019 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2021 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2022 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2024 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2025 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2026 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2027 via Richard Levitte]
2029 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2030 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2031 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2032 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2035 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2038 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2039 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
2040 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

2050 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
2053 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2054 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2056 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2057 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2058 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2059 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2060 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2061 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2064 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2065 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2068 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2069 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2070 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2071 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2073 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2074 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2075 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2076 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2077 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2078 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2082 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2083 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2084 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2085 and interrupts/cancellations.
2088 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2089 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2092 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2093 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2094 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2096 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2097 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2101 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2102 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2103 than this minimum value is recommended.
2106 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2107 that are easily reachable.
2110 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2111 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2113 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2115 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2116 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2117 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2118 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2121 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2122 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2123 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2126 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2127 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2128 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2129 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2130 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2131 internally such as S/MIME.
2133 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2134 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2135 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2137 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2141 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2142 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2143 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2144 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2146 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2148 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2150 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2151 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2152 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2156 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2157 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2158 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2159 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2160 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2161 a window system and the like.
2164 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2165 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2168 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2169 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2170 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2171 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2172 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2173 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2174 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2175 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2176 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2180 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2181 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2185 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2186 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2187 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2188 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2189 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2190 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2191 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2192 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2195 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2196 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2197 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2198 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2199 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2200 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2201 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2202 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2203 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2204 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2205 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2206 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2207 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2208 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2209 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2210 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2211 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2214 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2215 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2216 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2217 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2218 internal engine_int.h header.
2221 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2222 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2223 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2224 modify their own ones).
2227 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2228 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2229 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2230 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2231 later on via ctrl() commands.
2232 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2233 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2234 structural references.
2235 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2236 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2237 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2238 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2239 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2240 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2241 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2242 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2243 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2244 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2245 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2246 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2249 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2250 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2251 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2252 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2253 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2254 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2255 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2256 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2259 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2260 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2263 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2264 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2267 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2268 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2269 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2270 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2271 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2272 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2273 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2276 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2277 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2278 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2279 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2280 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2282 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2283 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2287 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2289 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2290 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2291 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2293 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2294 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2296 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2297 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2298 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2300 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2301 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2303 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2304 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2306 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2308 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2309 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2310 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2313 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2314 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2317 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2318 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2319 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2320 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2321 is 40 of more characters long.
2324 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2325 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2329 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2330 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2333 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2334 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2338 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2340 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2341 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2344 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2346 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2347 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2348 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2350 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2351 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2353 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2356 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2360 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2361 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2362 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2363 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2365 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2367 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2368 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2370 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2371 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2372 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2373 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2374 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2375 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2377 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2378 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2380 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2381 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2383 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2384 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2386 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2387 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2388 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2389 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2391 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2392 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2394 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2395 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2397 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2398 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2399 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2400 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2401 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2404 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2405 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2406 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2407 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2410 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2411 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2412 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2416 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2417 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2418 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2419 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2420 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2421 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2422 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2423 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2427 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2428 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2431 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2432 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2433 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2434 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2437 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2438 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2439 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2440 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2441 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2442 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2443 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2444 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2445 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2446 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2449 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2450 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2451 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2452 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2453 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2454 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2455 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2456 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2458 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2459 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2460 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2461 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2464 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2465 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2466 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2467 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2469 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2470 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2471 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2472 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2473 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2477 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2478 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2479 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2480 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2484 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2485 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2486 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2489 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2490 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2491 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2492 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2493 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2496 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2499 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2500 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2501 option to ocsp utility.
2504 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2505 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2506 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2507 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2508 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2509 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2510 the request is nonce-less.
2513 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2514 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2515 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2518 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2519 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2520 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2523 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2524 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2525 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2526 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2527 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2530 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2531 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2535 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2536 additional certificates supplied.
2539 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2540 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2544 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2545 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2548 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2549 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2550 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2551 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2552 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2553 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2554 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2555 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2556 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2558 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2559 request to response.
2562 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2563 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2564 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2565 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2566 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2567 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2568 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2569 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2570 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2571 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2572 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2575 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2576 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2577 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2578 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2581 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2582 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2584 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2585 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2586 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2589 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2590 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2591 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2592 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2593 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2595 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2596 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2597 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2600 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2601 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2602 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2603 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2604 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2605 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2606 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2607 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2609 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2610 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2611 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2612 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2613 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2614 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2617 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2618 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2619 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2620 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2621 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2622 printout format cleaned up.
2625 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2626 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2627 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2628 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2629 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2630 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2631 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2632 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2635 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2636 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2637 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2638 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2639 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2640 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2641 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2642 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2645 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2646 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2647 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2648 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2650 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2652 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2653 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2654 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2655 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2658 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2659 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2660 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2661 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2663 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2665 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2666 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2667 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2668 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2670 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2671 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2673 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2674 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2675 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2678 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2679 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2680 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2683 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2684 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2685 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2686 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2687 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2688 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2689 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2690 functions are provided:
2692 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2693 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2694 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2695 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2697 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2698 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2699 extended allocation function is enabled.
2700 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2701 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2702 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2704 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2705 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2706 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2707 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2708 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2711 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2712 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2713 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2715 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2716 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2717 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2720 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2721 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2722 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2723 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2724 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2725 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2726 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2727 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2728 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2731 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2732 provide utility functions which an application needing
2733 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2734 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2735 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2737 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2738 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2739 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2740 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2741 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2742 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2743 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2744 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2745 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2747 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2748 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2749 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2750 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2753 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2754 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2755 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2756 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2757 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2758 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2759 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2760 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2761 will be added elsewhere.
2764 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2765 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2766 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2767 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2770 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2771 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2772 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2773 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2774 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2775 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2776 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2777 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2778 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2779 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2780 to produce the required SET OF.
2783 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2784 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2785 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2788 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2789 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2790 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2791 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2792 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2793 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2796 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2797 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2798 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2801 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2802 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2803 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2806 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2807 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2808 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2809 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2810 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2813 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2814 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2817 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2818 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2819 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2820 certifcates and CRLs.
2823 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2824 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2825 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2828 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2829 entries for variables.
2832 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2833 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2834 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2835 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2838 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2839 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2840 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2841 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2842 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2843 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2846 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2847 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2849 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2850 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2851 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2854 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2858 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2859 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2860 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2861 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2862 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2863 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2866 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2869 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2870 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2871 for now but they will eventually go away.
2874 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2875 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2876 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2877 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2878 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2879 has also been converted to the new form.
2882 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2883 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2884 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2885 for negative moduli.
2888 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2889 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2892 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2896 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2897 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2898 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2899 type-specific callbacks.
2902 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2904 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2905 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2907 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2908 in sections depending on the subject.
2911 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2915 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2916 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2917 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2918 be handled deterministically).
2919 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2921 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2922 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2923 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2926 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2929 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2930 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2931 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2932 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2933 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2936 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2937 sign of the number in question.
2939 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2941 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2942 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2943 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2944 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2945 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2948 *) New function BN_swap.
2951 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2952 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2953 results on negative inputs.
2956 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2957 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2958 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2961 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2962 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2963 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2964 and add new functions:
2973 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2977 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2979 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2980 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2982 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2983 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2984 be reduced modulo m.
2985 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2988 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2989 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2990 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2992 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2993 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2994 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2995 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2996 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2997 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3002 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3003 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3004 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3005 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3006 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3008 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3009 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3010 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3014 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3017 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3018 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3021 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3022 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3023 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3024 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3028 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3031 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3034 *) Add the following functions:
3036 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3038 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3040 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3042 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3043 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3044 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3045 libraries unless it's really needed.
3047 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3048 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3049 declarations (they differed!).
3052 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3055 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3058 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3061 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3062 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3065 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3066 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3067 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3069 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3070 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3073 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3076 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3079 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3082 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3083 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3084 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3086 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3087 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3088 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3089 different shared library filenames on each system.
3092 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3095 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3096 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3097 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3099 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3102 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3103 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3104 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3105 binary backward compatibility.
3106 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3107 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3108 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3112 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3113 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3114 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3115 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3119 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3122 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3123 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3124 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3125 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3129 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3132 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3134 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3135 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3136 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3138 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3140 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3142 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3143 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3146 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3148 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3150 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3151 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3153 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3154 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3158 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3159 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3163 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3164 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3165 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3166 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3168 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3169 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3172 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3174 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3175 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3176 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3177 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3180 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3181 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3182 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3183 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3184 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3186 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3187 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3188 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3189 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3190 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3191 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3192 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3193 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3194 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3197 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3199 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3200 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3201 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3202 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3203 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3205 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3206 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3207 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3209 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3211 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3212 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3213 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3214 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3215 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3216 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3219 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3220 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3221 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3222 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3223 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3226 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3227 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3228 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3230 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3231 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3232 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3236 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3237 being properly terminated.
3240 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3241 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3242 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3243 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3245 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3246 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3247 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3248 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3249 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3250 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3251 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3253 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3255 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3256 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3259 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3260 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3261 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3262 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3263 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3264 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3265 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3266 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3268 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3269 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3270 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3271 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3272 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3274 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3275 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3278 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3280 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3281 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3282 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3284 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3286 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3287 and get fix the header length calculation.
3288 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3289 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3292 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3293 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3294 assertions could call abort()).
3295 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3297 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3299 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3300 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3301 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3303 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3305 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3306 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3307 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3310 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3314 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3315 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3316 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3318 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3319 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3320 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3321 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3322 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3326 *) Changes in security patch:
3328 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3329 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3330 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3333 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3334 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3335 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3336 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3337 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3339 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3341 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3343 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3344 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3345 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3347 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3348 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3349 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3351 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3352 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3353 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3355 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3357 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3358 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3359 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3361 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3362 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3364 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3365 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3366 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3367 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3368 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3369 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3372 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3373 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3374 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3375 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3378 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3381 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3382 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3383 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3384 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3385 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3386 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3388 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3389 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3390 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3391 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3392 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3395 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3396 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3397 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3398 BN_generate_prime().)
3400 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3401 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3402 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3406 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3407 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3410 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3411 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3412 when using non-blocking I/O.
3413 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3415 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3416 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3418 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3419 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3422 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3423 configuration for the versions before that.
3424 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3426 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3427 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3428 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3429 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3432 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3433 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3434 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3437 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3441 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3442 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3443 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3445 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3446 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3448 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3449 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3450 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3451 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3452 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3453 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3454 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3457 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3458 using a local variable.
3459 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3461 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3462 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3463 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3465 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3468 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3469 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3471 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3472 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3473 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3475 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3477 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3478 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3479 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3480 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3483 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3487 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3488 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3489 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3490 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3491 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3493 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3494 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3495 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3497 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3498 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3499 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3501 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3502 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3503 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3504 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3506 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3507 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3508 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3510 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3512 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3513 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3515 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3517 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3518 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3519 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3520 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3522 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3523 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3524 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3525 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3527 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3528 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3530 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3531 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3532 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3535 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3536 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3537 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3539 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3541 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3542 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3543 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3544 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3545 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3546 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3547 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3550 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3551 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3552 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3553 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3555 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3556 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3557 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3558 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3559 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3560 the client will at least see that alert.
3563 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3567 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3568 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3569 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3571 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3572 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3573 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3574 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3577 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3578 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3579 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3581 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3582 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3583 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3584 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3585 may leak via logfiles.)
3587 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3588 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3589 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3590 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3594 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3595 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3598 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3599 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3600 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3601 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3602 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3605 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3606 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3608 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3609 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3610 followed by modular reduction.
3611 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3613 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3614 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3617 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3618 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3619 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3620 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3623 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3626 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3627 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3630 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3631 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3632 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3633 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3634 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3635 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3637 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3639 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3640 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3641 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3642 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3643 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3645 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3648 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3649 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3650 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3651 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3652 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3653 to allow the necessary settings.
3656 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3657 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3658 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3659 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3662 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3663 dh->length and always used
3665 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3667 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3668 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3669 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3670 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3671 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3676 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3678 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3684 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3685 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3686 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3687 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3689 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3690 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3691 always reject numbers >= n.
3694 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3695 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3696 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3697 variable) is not atomic.
3700 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3701 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3702 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3703 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3705 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3706 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3708 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3710 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3712 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3715 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3717 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3718 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3719 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3720 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3721 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3722 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3723 to traverse all of 'state'.
3725 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3726 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3727 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3729 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3730 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3732 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3733 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3734 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3735 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3736 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3737 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3738 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3739 further strengthens the PRNG.
3742 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3745 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3746 an error message in this case.
3749 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3752 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3753 positive and less than q.
3756 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3757 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3759 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3761 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3762 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3766 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3768 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3769 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3770 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3771 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3772 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3773 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3774 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3777 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3778 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3779 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3780 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3782 Both problems are now fixed.
3785 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3786 (previously it was 1024).
3789 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3790 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3793 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3796 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3797 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3798 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3801 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3802 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3803 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3804 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3805 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3806 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3807 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3808 environment variables.
3810 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3811 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3812 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3815 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3816 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3817 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3818 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3819 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3820 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3823 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3827 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3829 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3830 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3832 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3833 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3834 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3835 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3839 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3840 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3841 amount of data available.
3842 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3843 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3845 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3846 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3847 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3848 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3851 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3852 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3856 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3857 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3858 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3859 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3862 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3865 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3868 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3869 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3871 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3873 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3874 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3875 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3876 (but broken) behaviour.
3879 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3881 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3883 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3884 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3887 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3891 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3892 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3894 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3897 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3898 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3899 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3901 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3902 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3903 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3906 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3907 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3910 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3911 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3913 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3915 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3917 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3918 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3919 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3920 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3923 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3926 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3927 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3928 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3930 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3933 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3935 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3936 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3937 but the code is actually correct.
3940 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3941 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3942 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3943 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3944 and leaves the highest bit random.
3945 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3947 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3948 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3949 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3950 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3951 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3952 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3953 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3956 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3959 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3960 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3963 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3964 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3965 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3966 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3970 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3971 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3972 and break the signature.
3974 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3976 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3980 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3981 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3982 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3983 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3984 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3987 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3988 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3990 *) ./config script fixes.
3991 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3993 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3996 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3997 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3998 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3999 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4000 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4002 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4003 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4006 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4007 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4010 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4011 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4012 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4013 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4015 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4016 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4018 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4019 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4020 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4021 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4022 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4024 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4027 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4030 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4033 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4036 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4037 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4040 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4041 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4042 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4043 result of the server certificate verification.)
4046 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4047 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4048 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4052 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4053 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4054 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4055 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4056 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4057 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4058 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4059 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4062 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4063 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4064 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4065 happening the other way round.
4068 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4069 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4072 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4073 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4074 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4075 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4078 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4079 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4081 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4083 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4084 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4085 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4088 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4090 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4092 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4096 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4098 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4099 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4100 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4101 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4102 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4104 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4105 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4109 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4112 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4114 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4115 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4116 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4117 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4118 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4119 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4120 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4121 by the Finished messages.
4124 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4125 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4127 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4128 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4129 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4130 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4131 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4135 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4136 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4137 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4138 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4139 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4140 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4141 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4142 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4143 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4147 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4148 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4149 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4150 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4152 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4153 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4154 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4155 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4156 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4159 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4160 been tested well enough.
4163 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4164 it can return incorrect results.
4165 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4166 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4169 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4170 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4171 include zero length content when signing messages.
4174 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4175 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4178 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4181 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4185 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4186 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4187 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4188 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4189 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4190 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4193 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4194 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4196 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4197 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4199 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4200 random number < q in the DSA library.
4203 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4204 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4205 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4206 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4207 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4208 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4209 just makes things more complicated.)
4212 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4216 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4217 work better on such systems.
4218 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4220 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4221 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4222 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4225 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4226 if there was more than one signature.
4227 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4229 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4230 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4231 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4232 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4235 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4236 rather than always using the current time.
4239 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4240 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4241 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4242 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4243 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4244 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4246 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4247 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4249 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4251 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4252 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4253 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4254 the same hash value.
4256 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4257 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4258 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4259 with X509_STORE internally.
4261 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4262 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4264 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4265 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4266 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4267 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4268 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4269 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4270 entirely (maybe later...).
4272 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4274 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4275 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4276 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4277 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4278 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4279 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4280 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4281 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4283 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4284 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4286 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4287 to customise the verify behaviour.
4290 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4291 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4294 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4295 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4296 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4297 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4298 request is improperly encoded.
4301 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4302 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4305 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4306 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4308 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4309 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4313 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4314 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4315 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4318 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4319 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4320 BIO/fp routines also added.
4323 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4324 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4326 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4327 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4328 demos/state_machine.
4331 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4332 generation and verification.
4335 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4336 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4337 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4338 encode and decode it manually.
4341 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4343 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4345 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4346 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4347 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4348 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4350 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4351 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4352 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4353 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4354 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4357 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4360 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4361 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4362 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4364 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4365 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4366 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4367 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4368 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4369 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4370 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4371 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4373 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4374 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4376 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4378 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4379 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4380 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4384 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4385 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4386 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4387 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4391 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4393 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4396 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4397 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4398 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4399 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4400 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4401 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4402 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4403 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4404 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4405 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4406 short or long names are found.
4409 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4410 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4412 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4413 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4414 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4415 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4417 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4418 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4419 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4420 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4423 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4424 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4425 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4428 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4429 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4430 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4431 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4432 to allow the various flags to be set.
4435 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4436 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4437 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4438 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4439 dates to be checked.
4442 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4443 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4444 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4447 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4448 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4449 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4452 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4453 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4456 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4457 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4458 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4459 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4460 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4461 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4464 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4465 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4469 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4473 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4474 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4475 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4476 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4477 form signing output easier to verify.
4480 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4483 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4484 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4485 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4486 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4487 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4488 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4489 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4490 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4491 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4492 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4495 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4497 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4498 the syntax given in objects.README.
4499 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4501 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4504 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4505 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4506 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4507 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4508 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4509 consistent name changes.
4512 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4515 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4516 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4517 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4518 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4521 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4522 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4523 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4527 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4528 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4529 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4530 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4533 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4534 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4535 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4536 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4537 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4538 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4539 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4540 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4541 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4542 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4543 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4546 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4547 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4548 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4549 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4550 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4551 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4552 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4553 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4554 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4555 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4558 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4559 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4560 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4561 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4563 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4564 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4565 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4566 omit any duplicate addresses.
4569 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4570 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4573 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4574 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4575 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4576 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4577 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4580 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4582 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4583 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4584 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4585 Free => OPENSSL_free
4588 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4589 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4592 *) CygWin32 support.
4593 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4595 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4596 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4597 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4598 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4599 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4603 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4604 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4605 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4606 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4607 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4608 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4609 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4612 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4613 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4614 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4615 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4616 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4617 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4618 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4619 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4620 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4621 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4622 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4625 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4626 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4627 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4628 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4629 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4631 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4632 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4633 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4634 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4635 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4637 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4640 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4641 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4642 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4643 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4645 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4647 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4650 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4651 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4652 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4655 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4656 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4657 any installed hardware versions can.
4660 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4661 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4662 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4666 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4667 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4668 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4669 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4670 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4672 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4673 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4676 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4677 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4680 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4681 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4682 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4686 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4689 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4690 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4691 but no ssl client purpose.
4692 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4694 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4695 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4696 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4697 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4698 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4699 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4700 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4701 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4702 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4703 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4704 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4707 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4708 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4709 be obtained from the error queue.
4712 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4713 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4714 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4715 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4718 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4721 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4722 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4723 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4724 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4725 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4728 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4729 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4730 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4731 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4732 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4735 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4736 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4737 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4739 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4741 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4742 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4743 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4744 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4745 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4746 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4747 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4748 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4749 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4750 or "the configuration storage API"...
4752 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4754 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4755 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4757 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4759 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4761 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4762 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4763 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4764 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4765 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4766 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4767 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4769 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4770 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4773 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4774 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4775 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4776 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4779 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4780 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4781 them in a portable way.
4782 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4784 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4786 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4788 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4789 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4791 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4792 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4793 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4796 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4797 was larger than the MD block size.
4798 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4800 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4801 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4802 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4803 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4807 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4808 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4809 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4811 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4813 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4815 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4816 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4817 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4818 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4819 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4820 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4822 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4823 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4825 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4826 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4829 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4832 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4833 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4835 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4836 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4837 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4838 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4841 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4842 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4843 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4844 does not suppress any output.
4847 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4848 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4849 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4850 with all the associated security issues.
4852 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4853 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4854 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4855 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4856 use the value in the default purpose.
4859 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4860 and fix a memory leak.
4863 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4864 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4865 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4866 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4869 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4870 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4871 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4872 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4875 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4876 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4877 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4880 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4881 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4884 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4885 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4889 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4890 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4893 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4894 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4895 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4898 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4899 number generation fails.
4902 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4905 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4906 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4908 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4911 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4912 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4914 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4915 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4917 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4919 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4920 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4923 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4924 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4926 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4927 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4930 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4931 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4932 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4933 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4934 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4935 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4937 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4938 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4939 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4943 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4944 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4945 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4946 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4947 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4948 counter, some don't.)
4949 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4950 counters or duplicate objects.
4953 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4954 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4957 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4958 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4959 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4961 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4962 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4963 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4967 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4968 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4971 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4972 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4973 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4977 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4978 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4979 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4982 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4983 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4984 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4985 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4986 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4987 should work without changes.
4990 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4991 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4992 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4993 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4994 must be defined. E.g.,
4995 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4996 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4997 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4998 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5000 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5004 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5005 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5006 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5009 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5010 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5011 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5012 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5015 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5016 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5017 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5018 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5019 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5020 is prompted for as usual.
5023 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5024 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5025 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5026 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5028 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5029 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5030 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5031 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5034 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5037 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5041 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5044 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5047 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5051 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5054 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5057 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5058 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5061 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5062 options to produce them.
5065 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5066 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5069 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5073 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5074 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5075 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5076 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5077 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5078 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5079 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5082 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5085 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5086 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5087 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5090 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5091 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5093 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5094 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5097 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5098 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5099 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5103 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5104 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5106 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5107 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5108 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5109 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5110 generation becomes much faster.
5112 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5113 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5114 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5115 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5116 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5117 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5118 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5119 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5120 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5121 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5124 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5125 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5126 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5127 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5128 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5129 trial division stage.
5132 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5136 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5139 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5142 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5143 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5144 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5148 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5149 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5150 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5153 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5154 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5155 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5156 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5158 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5159 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5162 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5165 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5166 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5167 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5168 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5171 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5172 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5173 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5176 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5177 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5178 (instead of parameters) in future.
5181 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5182 when a new cipher list is set.
5185 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5186 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5189 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5190 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5191 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5193 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5194 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5195 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5196 an error is flagged.
5198 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5199 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5200 the readability was also increased :-)
5201 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5203 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5204 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5205 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5206 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5210 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5211 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5214 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5215 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5216 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5217 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5220 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5221 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5222 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5223 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5224 because they handle more complex structures.)
5227 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5228 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5229 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5230 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5232 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5233 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5234 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5235 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5236 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5237 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5238 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5241 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5242 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5243 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5244 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5245 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5248 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5251 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5252 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5253 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5254 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5255 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5258 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5262 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5263 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5264 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5265 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5268 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5271 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5272 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5273 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5274 international characters are used.
5276 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5277 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5278 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5282 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5283 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5284 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5287 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5288 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5289 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5290 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5291 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5292 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5294 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5295 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5296 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5297 be handled by the string table functions.
5299 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5300 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5301 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5302 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5303 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5307 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5308 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5309 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5310 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5311 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5313 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5314 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5315 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5316 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5319 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5320 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5321 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5322 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5323 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5327 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5328 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5329 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5330 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5331 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5332 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5333 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5334 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5336 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5337 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5338 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5341 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5342 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5343 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5344 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5345 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5346 support to pkcs8 application.
5349 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5350 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5351 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5352 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5353 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5354 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5357 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5358 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5359 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5360 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5361 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5365 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5366 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5367 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5368 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5372 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5373 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5374 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5375 and any application specific purposes.
5377 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5378 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5379 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5380 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5381 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5382 if the certificate is self signed.
5385 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5386 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5389 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5390 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5391 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5392 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5395 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5396 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5397 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5398 Update documentation.
5401 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5402 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5403 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5404 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5405 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5408 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5410 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5412 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5413 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5414 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5415 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5416 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5417 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5418 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5419 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5420 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5421 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5423 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5425 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5426 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5427 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5428 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5429 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5431 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5432 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5433 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5434 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5435 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5436 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5437 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5438 request additional information:
5439 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5440 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5442 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5443 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5444 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5447 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5448 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5451 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5454 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5455 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5457 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5458 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5459 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5463 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5464 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5465 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5467 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5468 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5469 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5470 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5471 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5472 included in OpenSSL.
5475 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5476 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5477 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5478 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5479 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5480 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5483 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5487 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5488 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5489 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5490 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5491 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5495 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5499 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5500 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5501 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5502 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5503 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5504 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5505 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5506 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5507 be maintained manually.
5509 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5510 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5511 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5512 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5513 work because people forget to call this function]
5514 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5515 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5516 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5519 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5520 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5521 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5522 should be discouraged from doing it.
5525 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5526 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5527 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5528 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5529 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5530 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5533 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5534 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5535 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5537 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5538 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5539 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5541 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5542 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5543 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5544 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5545 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5546 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5548 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5549 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5550 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5552 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5553 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5556 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5557 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5558 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5559 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5562 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5565 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5566 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5567 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5568 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5569 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5570 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5571 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5572 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5573 keys so we should be OK.
5575 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5576 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5577 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5578 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5579 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5580 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5581 stay in the name of compatibility.
5583 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5584 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5585 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5587 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5588 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5589 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5590 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5591 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5592 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5596 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5597 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5598 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5599 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5600 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5601 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5602 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5603 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5604 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5605 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5606 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5607 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5608 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5611 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5614 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5615 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5616 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5617 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5618 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5619 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5620 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5621 openssl verify ss.pem
5622 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5623 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5627 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5628 (and add it to external session representation).
5629 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5630 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5631 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5632 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5633 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5634 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5636 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5638 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5639 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5640 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5641 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5643 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5644 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5645 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5648 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5649 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5650 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5654 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5655 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5656 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5658 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5659 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5660 certificate auxiliary information.
5663 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5667 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5668 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5669 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5670 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5671 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5672 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5673 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5676 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5677 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5680 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5681 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5682 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5683 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5686 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5689 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5690 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5693 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5694 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5695 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5696 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5697 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5698 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5699 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5700 using the new 'x509' options.
5702 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5703 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5704 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5705 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5709 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5710 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5711 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5712 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5713 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5716 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5717 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5718 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5719 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5720 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5721 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5722 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5723 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5724 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5725 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5728 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5729 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5730 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5731 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5732 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5733 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5734 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5737 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5738 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5739 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5740 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5741 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5742 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5743 openssl.cnf for more info.
5746 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5747 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5748 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5749 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5750 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5751 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5752 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5753 md should be large enough anyway.
5756 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5757 for handling the random seed file.
5759 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5761 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5764 x509 (when signing).
5765 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5766 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5767 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5769 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5770 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5771 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5772 that support '-rand'.
5775 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5776 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5779 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5780 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5783 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5784 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5785 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5786 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5790 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5791 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5792 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5793 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5796 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5797 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5798 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5799 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5800 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5801 print out all the purposes.
5804 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5808 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5809 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5810 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5811 single function call.
5814 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5815 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5818 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5819 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5820 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5823 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5824 when producing the local key id.
5825 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5827 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5828 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5829 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5833 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5834 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5835 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5836 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5839 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5840 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5841 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5842 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5844 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5845 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5846 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5847 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5849 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5850 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5851 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5852 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5853 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5854 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5855 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5856 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5857 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5858 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5859 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5860 trivial: move one line.
5861 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5863 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5864 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5865 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5866 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5867 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5868 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5869 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5870 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5871 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5872 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5873 with an event loop for example.
5876 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5877 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5878 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5879 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5880 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5881 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5882 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5883 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5884 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5887 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5888 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5889 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5890 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5891 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5892 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5895 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5896 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5897 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5898 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5900 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5901 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5902 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5903 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5907 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5908 (still largely untested)
5911 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5912 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5915 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5916 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5919 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5920 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5921 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5924 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5925 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5926 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5927 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5928 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5931 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5934 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5935 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5936 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5937 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5938 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5942 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5943 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5946 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5949 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5950 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5951 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5952 are otherwise ignored at present.
5955 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5956 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5957 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5958 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5959 copied until the next read.
5962 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5963 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5964 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5967 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5968 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5969 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5970 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5971 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5972 associated functions.
5975 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5976 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5977 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5978 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5979 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5980 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5981 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5982 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5983 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5987 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5988 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5989 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5990 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5993 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5994 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5995 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5996 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5997 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6001 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6002 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6006 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6007 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6008 extensions to be obtained and added.
6011 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6012 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6015 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6017 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6018 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6020 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6021 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6023 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6027 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6028 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6029 DH parameters contain its length).
6031 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6032 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6033 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6034 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6035 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6036 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6037 utter importance to use
6038 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6040 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6041 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6042 attacks may become possible!
6045 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6048 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6049 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6052 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6053 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6054 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6058 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6059 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6060 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6061 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6062 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6063 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6064 private key operations.
6067 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6070 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6071 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6073 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6074 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6075 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6076 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6077 the password callback is called.
6078 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6080 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6082 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6083 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6084 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6085 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6086 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6087 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6090 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6091 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6092 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6093 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6094 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6095 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6098 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6101 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6102 delete an unused file.
6105 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6106 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6107 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6108 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6111 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6112 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6113 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6117 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6118 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6119 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6121 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6122 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6123 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6124 comparison" warnings.
6125 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6128 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6129 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6130 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6133 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6134 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6136 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6137 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6139 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6140 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6141 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6143 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6144 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6145 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6146 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6147 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6149 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6151 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6152 The interface is as follows:
6153 Applications can use
6154 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6155 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6156 "off" is now the default.
6157 The library internally uses
6158 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6159 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6160 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6162 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6163 even the default) are now avoided.
6165 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6166 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6167 than just having a counter.
6169 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6171 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6175 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6176 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6177 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6178 Initial "mode" flags are:
6180 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6181 a single record has been written.
6182 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6183 retries use the same buffer location.
6184 (But all of the contents must be
6188 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6191 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6192 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6194 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6195 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6196 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6199 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6200 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6202 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6204 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6205 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6206 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6207 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6209 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6210 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6212 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6213 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6214 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6215 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6216 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6217 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6220 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6221 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6222 necessary function names.
6225 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6226 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6227 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6228 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6231 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6232 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6233 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6236 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6237 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6238 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6239 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6241 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6245 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6246 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6247 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6250 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6251 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6255 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6256 for the encoded length.
6257 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6259 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6262 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6263 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6264 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6265 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6268 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6269 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6272 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6273 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6274 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6278 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6279 to use the new extension code.
6282 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6283 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6284 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6288 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6289 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6290 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6294 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6297 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6298 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6299 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6302 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6303 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6304 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6305 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6308 *) DES library cleanups.
6311 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6312 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6313 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6314 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6315 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6319 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6320 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6323 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6324 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6325 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6326 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6327 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6328 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6329 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6330 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6331 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6334 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6335 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6336 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6337 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6338 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6339 value doesn't matter.
6342 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6346 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6347 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6348 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6349 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6351 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6354 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6355 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6356 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6358 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6359 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6361 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6364 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6367 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6370 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6374 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6376 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6378 *) Updated some demos.
6379 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6381 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6384 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6387 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6390 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6391 instead of using a fixed path.
6394 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6397 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6401 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6403 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6404 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6405 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6407 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6408 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6409 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6410 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6411 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6412 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6413 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6414 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6415 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6416 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6419 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6420 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6423 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6424 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6425 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6426 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6427 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6429 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6432 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6433 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6434 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6437 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6440 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6441 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6442 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6443 key elements as negative integers.
6446 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6447 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6450 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6452 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6453 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6454 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6457 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6458 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6459 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6460 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6461 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6464 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6467 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6468 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6469 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6470 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6472 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6473 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6474 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6476 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6477 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6478 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6479 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6480 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6481 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6482 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6483 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6484 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6486 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6487 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6488 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6489 does not influence s as it used to.
6491 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6492 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6493 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6494 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6495 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6496 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6499 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6500 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6501 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6505 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6506 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6507 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6511 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6512 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6513 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6517 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6518 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6521 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6522 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6527 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6528 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6530 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6531 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6533 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6536 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6539 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6540 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6542 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6543 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6544 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6548 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6549 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6550 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6551 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6552 now it really counts the depth.
6555 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6556 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6557 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6558 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6559 didn't match the private key).
6561 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6562 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6563 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6566 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6569 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6573 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6574 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6575 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6578 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6581 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6582 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6583 such as /usr/local/bin.
6586 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6587 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6589 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6592 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6593 extension adding in x509 utility.
6596 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6599 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6603 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6606 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6607 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6608 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6609 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6610 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6611 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6612 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6613 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6614 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6615 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6618 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6621 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6622 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6625 *) Fix some race conditions.
6628 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6629 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6632 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6635 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6636 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6637 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6638 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6640 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6641 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6643 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6644 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6645 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6647 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6648 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6650 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6653 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6654 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6656 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6659 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6660 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6662 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6663 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6666 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6667 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6670 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6671 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6674 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6675 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6678 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6679 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6682 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6683 support typesafe stack.
6686 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6687 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6689 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6690 old X509V3 handling code.
6693 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6696 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6699 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6702 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6703 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6705 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6706 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6707 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6708 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6709 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6712 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6713 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6714 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6715 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6716 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6718 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6719 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6720 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6721 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6723 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6724 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6725 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6726 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6728 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6729 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6730 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6731 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6732 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6733 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6736 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6737 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6740 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6741 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6744 *) Tweaks to Configure
6745 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6747 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6751 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6754 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6755 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6758 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6759 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6760 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6763 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6766 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6767 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6770 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6771 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6772 to library startup routines.
6775 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6776 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6777 codes along the way.
6780 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6781 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6782 objects to objects.h
6785 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6786 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6789 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6790 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6792 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6793 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6794 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6796 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6797 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6798 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6800 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6801 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6802 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6805 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6807 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6808 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6811 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6812 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6813 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6814 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6815 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6817 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6818 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6819 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6821 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6823 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6825 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6827 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6828 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6830 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6831 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6832 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6833 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6835 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6838 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6839 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6840 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6841 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6844 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6845 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6846 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6849 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6850 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6851 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6852 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6853 installed as `perl').
6854 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6856 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6857 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6859 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6860 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6861 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6862 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6863 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6866 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6869 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6870 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6871 is horrible: I feel ill....
6874 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6875 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6876 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6877 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6880 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6881 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6883 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6884 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6885 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6886 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6888 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6889 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6890 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6891 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6892 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6893 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6895 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6897 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6898 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6900 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6901 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6903 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6906 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6907 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6911 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6912 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6913 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6914 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6915 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6916 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6917 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6918 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6919 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6920 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6921 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6923 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6926 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6927 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6928 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6929 for linking it into DSOs.
6930 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6932 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6936 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6937 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6938 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6939 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6940 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6941 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6943 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6944 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6945 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6946 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6947 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6948 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6949 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6951 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6952 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6953 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6957 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6958 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6959 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6960 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6963 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6964 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6965 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6966 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6967 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6971 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6972 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6973 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6974 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6975 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6977 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6978 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6979 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6981 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6982 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6984 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6985 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6986 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6987 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6988 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6991 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6992 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6993 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6994 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6995 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6996 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6997 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7000 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7002 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7003 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7006 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7007 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7009 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7010 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7013 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7014 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7015 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7016 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7017 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7019 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7020 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7021 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7022 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7023 no way to reconfigure them.
7024 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7025 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7026 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7027 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7028 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7029 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7031 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7032 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7033 recognized by the users.
7034 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7036 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7037 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7038 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7039 already masked variable.
7040 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7042 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7043 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7045 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7046 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7047 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7048 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7050 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7051 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7052 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7054 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7055 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7056 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7057 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7058 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7059 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7060 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7061 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7063 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7065 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7066 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7067 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7069 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7070 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7074 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7075 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7077 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7078 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7079 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7080 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7083 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7086 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7087 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7089 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7092 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7093 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7096 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7097 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7100 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7101 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7102 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7103 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7104 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7105 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7106 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7109 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7110 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7112 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7113 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7114 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7115 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7116 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7118 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7119 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7120 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7123 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7124 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7128 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7129 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7130 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7132 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7133 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7134 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7138 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7139 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7140 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7141 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7144 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7145 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7146 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7147 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7150 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7151 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7152 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7153 so it wasn't spotted.
7154 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7156 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7157 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7158 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7159 vectors if you have them.
7162 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7163 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7166 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7167 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7168 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7169 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7171 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7172 it will update them.
7175 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7176 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7177 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7178 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7179 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7180 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7181 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7182 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7184 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7185 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7186 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7187 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7188 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7189 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7190 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7191 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7192 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7193 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7195 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7196 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7197 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7198 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7199 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7202 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7206 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7207 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7209 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7210 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7212 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7213 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7216 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7217 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7219 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7220 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7222 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7225 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7229 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7230 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7231 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7232 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7234 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7237 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7240 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7243 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7244 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7247 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7248 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7252 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7253 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7256 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7257 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7258 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7261 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7262 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7263 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7264 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7265 properly to be processed.
7268 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7269 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7270 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7273 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7274 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7276 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7277 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7278 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7279 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7280 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7281 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7282 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7283 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7284 or delete all the .err files.
7287 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7288 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7289 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7290 to regenerate it if needed.
7291 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7292 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7294 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7295 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7297 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7298 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7299 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7300 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7301 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7304 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7305 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7307 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7308 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7310 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7311 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7312 error, but didn't set one).
7313 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7315 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7318 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7319 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7322 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7323 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7325 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7326 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7327 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7328 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7329 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7330 OID is not part of the table.
7333 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7334 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7337 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7340 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7341 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7345 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7346 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7348 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7350 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7352 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7353 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7355 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7356 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7358 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7359 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7361 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7362 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7365 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7366 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7369 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7370 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7372 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7373 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7375 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7376 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7378 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7379 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7381 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7382 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7383 unused in the certificate verification process.
7384 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7386 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7387 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7390 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7391 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7392 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7394 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7395 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7396 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7397 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7398 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7400 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7401 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7404 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7407 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7410 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7411 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7413 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7416 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7419 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7422 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7423 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7424 other error libraries.
7427 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7430 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7431 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7435 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7436 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7437 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7438 the new set of documenation files.
7439 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7441 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7442 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7443 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7444 number of arguments.
7445 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7447 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7450 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7451 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7452 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7454 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7457 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7461 unixware-2.0-pentium
7465 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7466 before they are needed.
7469 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7473 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7475 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7476 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7477 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7479 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7482 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7483 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7484 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7486 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7487 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7488 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7490 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7491 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7492 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7494 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7495 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7497 *) Updated the README file.
7498 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7500 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7501 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7502 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7504 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7505 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7506 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7508 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7509 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7510 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7511 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7512 o removed obsolete TODO file
7513 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7514 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7516 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7517 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7518 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

7521 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7522 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7524 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7527 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7528 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7529 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7531 [The OpenSSL Project]
7534 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7536 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7539 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7542 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7543 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7546 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7547 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7551 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7553 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7555 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7558 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7561 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7564 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7567 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7570 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7573 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7576 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7579 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7582 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7585 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7588 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7591 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7594 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7597 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7600 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7603 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7606 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7607 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7608 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7611 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7612 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7615 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7618 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7621 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7622 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7625 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7628 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7631 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7632 bytes sent in the client random.
