10 Changes between 1.1.1d and 1.1.1e [xx XXX xxxx]
12 *) Fixed an an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
13 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
14 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
15 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
16 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
17 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
18 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
19 Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be
20 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
24 *) Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
25 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
28 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
29 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
30 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
31 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
33 *) Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
37 Changes between 1.1.1c and 1.1.1d [10 Sep 2019]
39 *) Fixed a fork protection issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a rewritten random
40 number generator (RNG). This was intended to include protection in the
41 event of a fork() system call in order to ensure that the parent and child
42 processes did not share the same RNG state. However this protection was not
43 being used in the default case.
45 A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a high
46 precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the likelihood of a parent
47 and child process sharing state is significantly reduced.
49 If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly using
50 OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at all.
54 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
55 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
56 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
57 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
58 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
59 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
60 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
61 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
62 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
65 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
66 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
67 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
68 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
72 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
73 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
74 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
75 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
76 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
77 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
78 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
79 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
80 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
81 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
82 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
83 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
87 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
88 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
89 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
90 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
91 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
92 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
93 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
96 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
97 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
98 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
99 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
100 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
103 *) Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
105 Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
106 paths should be used for installation.
110 *) Changed DH_check to accept parameters with order q and 2q subgroups.
111 With order 2q subgroups the bit 0 of the private key is not secret
112 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
113 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
116 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
119 *) Revert the DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
121 The DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature added a select() call to wait for the
122 /dev/random device to become readable before reading from the
125 It turned out that this change had negative side effects on
126 performance which were not acceptable. After some discussion it
127 was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
128 resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
129 during early boot time.
130 [Matthias St. Pierre]
132 Changes between 1.1.1b and 1.1.1c [28 May 2019]
134 *) Add build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
135 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
136 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
138 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
139 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
142 *) Enable SHA3 pre-hashing for ECDSA and DSA.
145 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
146 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
147 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
148 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
151 *) Reorganize the manual pages to consistently have RETURN VALUES,
152 EXAMPLES, SEE ALSO and HISTORY come in that order, and adjust
153 util/fix-doc-nits accordingly.
154 [Paul Yang, Joshua Lock]
156 *) Add the missing accessor EVP_PKEY_get0_engine()
159 *) Have apps like 's_client' and 's_server' output the signature scheme
160 along with other cipher suite parameters when debugging.
163 *) Make OPENSSL_config() error agnostic again.
166 *) Do the error handling in RSA decryption constant time.
169 *) Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
171 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
172 for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
173 (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
174 and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
175 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
176 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
177 additional leading bytes are ignored.
179 It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
180 unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
181 serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
182 the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
183 change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
184 new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
185 messages with a reused nonce.
187 Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
188 integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
189 integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
190 affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
191 is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
192 applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
193 length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
195 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
200 *) Add DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
202 On older Linux systems where the getrandom() system call is not available,
203 OpenSSL normally uses the /dev/urandom device for seeding its CSPRNG.
204 Contrary to getrandom(), the /dev/urandom device will not block during
205 early boot when the kernel CSPRNG has not been seeded yet.
207 To mitigate this known weakness, use select() to wait for /dev/random to
208 become readable before reading from /dev/urandom.
210 *) Ensure that SM2 only uses SM3 as digest algorithm
213 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [26 Feb 2019]
215 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
216 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
217 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
218 to affine coordinates.
219 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
221 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
222 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
223 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
224 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
225 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
226 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
227 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
228 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
232 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
233 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
234 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
235 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
236 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
237 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
239 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
240 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
243 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
246 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
247 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
248 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
251 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
253 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
255 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
256 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
257 algorithm to recover the private key.
259 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
263 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
265 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
266 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
267 algorithm to recover the private key.
269 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
273 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
274 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
275 are retained for backwards compatibility.
278 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
279 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
280 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
282 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
283 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
284 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
285 provided by the application.
287 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
289 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
290 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
291 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
292 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
293 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
297 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
300 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
301 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
302 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
305 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
306 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
307 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
310 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
311 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
312 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
313 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
314 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
315 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
316 to work in projective coordinates.
317 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
319 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
320 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
321 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
322 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
324 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
326 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
329 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
330 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
331 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
332 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
335 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
336 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
339 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
340 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
341 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
342 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
343 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
345 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
346 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
347 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
348 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
349 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
350 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
352 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
353 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
354 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
355 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
356 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
359 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
360 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
361 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
365 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
366 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
367 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
368 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
369 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
370 multi-version installation is managed.
373 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
374 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
375 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
376 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
377 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
380 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
381 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
382 chosen point SCA attacks.
383 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
385 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
386 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
389 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
390 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
391 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
394 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
395 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
396 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
397 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
398 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
399 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
400 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
401 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
402 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
405 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
406 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
409 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
410 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
413 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
414 binary and prime elliptic curves.
417 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
418 constant time fixed point multiplication.
421 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
422 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
423 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
424 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
425 ECDH derive operations).
426 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
429 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
432 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
433 randomness from the system.
434 [Matthias St. Pierre]
436 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
439 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
440 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
443 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
446 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
447 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
449 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
452 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
453 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
454 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
457 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
461 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
462 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
465 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
468 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
469 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
470 [Matthias St. Pierre]
472 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
473 for the license change).
476 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
477 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
480 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
481 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
482 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
483 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
484 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
485 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
486 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
489 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
490 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
491 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
492 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
493 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
494 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
495 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
496 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
497 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
498 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
499 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
503 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
507 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
508 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
509 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
510 get the search data out of them.
513 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
514 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
515 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
516 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
519 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
521 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
522 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
523 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
524 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
525 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
526 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
528 Some of its new features are:
529 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
530 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
531 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
532 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
533 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
534 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
536 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
538 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
539 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
540 to display all sorts of configuration data.
543 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
546 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
549 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
553 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
554 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
555 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
556 debug (or make silent).
559 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
560 arguments to config / Configure.
563 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
566 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
567 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
568 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
569 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
571 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
572 as documented in RFC6066.
573 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
574 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
576 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
577 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
578 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
579 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
581 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
582 original author does not agree with the license change.
585 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
588 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
589 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
592 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
593 without clearing the errors.
596 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
597 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
598 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
604 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
605 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
606 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
609 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
610 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
611 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
612 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
615 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
616 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
617 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
618 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
619 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
620 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
621 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
624 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
625 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
626 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
627 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
630 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
631 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
632 error code calls like this:
634 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
636 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
637 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
639 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
641 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
644 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
645 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
646 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
647 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
650 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
651 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
652 than just the call where this user data is passed.
655 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
657 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
659 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
660 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
661 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
662 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
663 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
664 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
665 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
669 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
670 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
671 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
675 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
676 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
677 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
679 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
683 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
684 platform rather than 'mingw'.
687 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
688 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
689 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
690 certificates and CRLs.
693 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
694 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
697 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
698 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
701 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
702 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
703 which is the minimum version we support.
706 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
707 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
708 are no longer allowed.
711 *) Add support for ARIA
714 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
715 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
716 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
720 *) Add support for SipHash
723 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
724 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
725 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
726 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
729 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
730 using the algorithm defined in
731 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
734 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
735 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
737 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
740 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
741 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
745 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
747 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
749 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
750 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
751 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
752 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
753 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
755 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
759 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
761 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
762 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
763 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
764 recover the private key.
766 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
767 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
771 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
772 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
773 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
776 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
777 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
780 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
781 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
782 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
783 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
785 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
787 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
790 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
791 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
794 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
795 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
798 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
799 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
800 are no longer allowed.
803 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
805 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
806 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
807 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
808 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
809 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
810 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
811 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
812 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
813 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
814 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
815 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
816 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
817 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
820 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
822 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
824 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
825 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
826 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
827 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
828 so this is considered safe.
830 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
835 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
837 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
838 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
839 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
840 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
841 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
842 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
844 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
849 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
850 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
851 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
852 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
855 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
857 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
858 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
859 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
860 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
861 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
863 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
864 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
865 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
868 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
872 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
874 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
875 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
876 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
877 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
878 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
879 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
880 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
881 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
882 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
883 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
885 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
886 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
888 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
889 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
893 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
895 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
897 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
898 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
899 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
900 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
901 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
902 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
903 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
904 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
905 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
906 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
907 key that is shared between multiple clients.
909 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
910 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
912 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
916 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
918 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
919 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
920 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
922 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
926 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
928 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
929 platform rather than 'mingw'.
932 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
933 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
934 which is the minimum version we support.
937 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
939 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
941 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
942 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
943 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
944 and servers are affected.
946 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
950 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
952 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
954 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
955 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
956 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
958 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
962 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
964 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
965 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
966 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
969 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
973 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
975 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
976 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
977 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
978 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
979 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
980 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
981 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
982 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
983 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
984 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
985 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
986 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
987 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
989 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
993 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
995 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
997 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
998 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
999 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1001 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1005 *) CMS Null dereference
1007 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1008 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1009 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1010 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1011 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1014 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1018 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1020 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1021 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1022 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1023 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1024 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1025 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1026 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1027 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1028 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1029 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1030 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1031 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1032 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1033 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1035 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1036 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1037 providing reproducible case.
1041 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1042 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1045 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1047 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1049 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1050 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1051 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1052 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1053 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1054 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1056 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
1058 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
1062 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1064 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1066 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1067 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1068 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1069 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1070 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1071 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1072 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
1074 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1078 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1080 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1081 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1082 Denial Of Service attack.
1084 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1088 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1089 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1091 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1092 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1093 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1094 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1095 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1096 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1097 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1098 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1099 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1100 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1101 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1102 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1103 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1104 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1105 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1107 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1108 that the connection fails
1110 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1111 very little free memory
1113 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1114 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1115 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1116 memory to service the multiple requests.
1118 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1119 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1120 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1121 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1122 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
1124 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1125 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1128 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1129 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1130 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1131 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1132 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1133 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1134 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1137 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1139 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1140 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1141 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1142 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1143 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1147 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1148 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1149 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1152 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1153 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1154 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1155 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1158 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1159 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1163 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1164 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1165 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1166 no-ops and deprecated.
1169 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1170 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1172 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1174 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1175 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1176 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1179 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1180 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1181 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1182 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1183 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1184 and the validity of object reference counter.
1185 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1187 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1188 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1189 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1190 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1193 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1196 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1197 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1198 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1199 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1201 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1205 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1206 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1209 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1212 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1215 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1216 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1217 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1218 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1219 name and is used as is.
1222 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1223 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1224 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1227 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1228 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1231 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1232 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1236 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1237 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1238 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1239 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1240 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1241 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1242 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1243 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1244 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1247 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1248 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1249 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1250 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1252 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1253 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1254 these have been added.
1257 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1258 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1259 functions for managing these have been added.
1262 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1263 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1264 these have been added.
1267 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1268 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1272 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1275 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1278 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1279 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1282 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1285 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1288 *) Add support for HKDF.
1289 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1291 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1294 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1295 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1296 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1297 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1298 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1299 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1300 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1303 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1304 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1305 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1308 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1309 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1310 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1311 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1312 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1313 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1314 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1316 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1317 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1320 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1323 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1324 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1325 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1326 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1327 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1328 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1332 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1333 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1336 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1337 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1338 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1341 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1342 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1343 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1344 implemented by other servers.
1347 *) Add X25519 support.
1348 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1349 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1350 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1351 key generation and key derivation.
1353 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1357 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1358 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1359 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1360 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1361 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1363 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1364 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1365 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1366 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1367 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1368 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1369 that of a valid user.
1372 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1373 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1374 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1375 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1377 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1378 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1380 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1381 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1382 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1383 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1385 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1386 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1390 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1391 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1392 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1393 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1394 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1395 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1397 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1398 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1399 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1402 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1405 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1406 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1407 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1411 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1412 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1413 old #define's might need to be updated.
1414 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1416 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1419 *) New "unified" build system
1421 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1422 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1424 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1425 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1426 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1428 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1429 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1430 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1431 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1434 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1435 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1436 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1437 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1438 libraries" in INSTALL.
1440 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1443 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1444 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1445 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1446 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1449 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1450 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1452 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1453 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1454 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1455 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1456 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1457 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1458 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1459 have been adapted accordingly.
1462 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1466 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1467 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1468 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1469 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1472 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1473 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1474 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1478 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1479 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1482 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1483 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1484 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1486 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1487 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1488 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1490 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1491 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1493 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1494 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1495 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1496 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1499 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1500 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1501 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1502 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1503 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1507 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1508 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1509 straightforward and less interdependent.
1511 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1512 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1513 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1515 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1516 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1517 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1519 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1520 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1521 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1522 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1524 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1525 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1528 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1529 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1530 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1531 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1535 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1537 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1539 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1540 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1541 before trying to build now.*
1544 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1548 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1550 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1551 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1552 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1553 used to authenticate the peer.
1555 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1556 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1557 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1558 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1559 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1562 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1563 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1564 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1565 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1566 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1567 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1569 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1570 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1571 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1572 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1573 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1574 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1575 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1576 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1579 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1580 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1581 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1582 compile with later releases.
1584 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1585 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1586 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1587 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1588 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1591 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1592 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1593 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1594 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1595 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1596 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1597 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1598 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1601 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1604 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1605 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1606 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1609 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1610 include the ec.h header file instead.
1613 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1614 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1615 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1618 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1619 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1622 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1623 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1625 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1626 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1627 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1630 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1631 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1632 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1633 an already created structure.
1634 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1635 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1636 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1637 for deprecated builds.
1640 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1641 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1642 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1643 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1644 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1645 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1646 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1649 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1650 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1651 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1652 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1655 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1656 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1659 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1660 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1663 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1664 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1665 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1666 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1667 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1668 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1669 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1673 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1674 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1675 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1678 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1681 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1683 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1685 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1687 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1688 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1696 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1697 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1699 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1700 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1701 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1705 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1708 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1709 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1710 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1711 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1714 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1715 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1716 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1717 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1720 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1721 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1722 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1724 *) New testing framework
1725 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1726 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1727 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1728 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1729 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1730 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1732 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1734 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1735 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1739 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1740 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1741 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1742 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1745 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1747 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1749 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1750 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1752 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1753 original RSA_PSK patch.
1756 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1757 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1758 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1759 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1762 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1763 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1766 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1767 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1768 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1771 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1772 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1773 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1774 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1778 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1779 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1780 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1781 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1784 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1785 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1786 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1787 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1788 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1789 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1792 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1793 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1794 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1795 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1796 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1797 header file has been removed.
1800 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1801 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1804 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1805 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1806 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1808 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1812 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1815 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1819 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1822 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1823 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1824 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1827 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1828 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1829 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1830 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1833 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1834 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1835 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1836 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1837 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1838 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1841 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1842 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1843 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1844 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1847 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1848 compatible client hello.
1851 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1852 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1853 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1855 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1858 *) Removed old DES API.
1861 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1867 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1872 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1875 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1876 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1877 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx

1892 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1893 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept

1899 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1902 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1903 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.

1906 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1907 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.

1930 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1931 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1932 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:

1935 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1936 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1937 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1939 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1940 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1943 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1945 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1946 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1948 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1949 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1951 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1954 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1958 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1959 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1960 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1961 algorithms and include tests cases.
1964 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1968 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1969 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1972 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1973 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1975 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1976 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1979 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1980 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1984 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1985 sign or verify all in one operation.
1988 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1989 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1990 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1993 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1996 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1999 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2000 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2001 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2002 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2003 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2006 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2010 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2011 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2012 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2015 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2018 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2019 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2022 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2023 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2026 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2027 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2028 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2031 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2032 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2033 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2034 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2035 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2036 requested amount of entropy.
2039 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2040 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2043 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2044 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2045 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2049 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2050 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2051 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2054 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2055 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2056 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2057 will never use XTS mode.
2060 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2061 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2062 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2063 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2064 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2065 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2068 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2069 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2070 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2071 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2074 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2075 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2076 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2079 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2082 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2085 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2086 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2089 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2090 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2093 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2094 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2097 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2098 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2099 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2100 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2101 and rename any affected symbols.
2104 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2105 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2108 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2109 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2110 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2113 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2116 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2117 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2118 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2121 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2122 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2125 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2126 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2127 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2128 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2129 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2130 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2134 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2135 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2136 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2137 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2138 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2139 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2140 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2141 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2144 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2145 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2148 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2150 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2151 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2153 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2154 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2155 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2156 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2157 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2158 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2160 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2161 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2162 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2164 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2166 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2170 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2171 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2174 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2175 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2176 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2179 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2180 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2181 multi-process servers.
2184 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2185 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2186 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2187 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2188 RAND_METHOD structure.
2191 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2192 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2193 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2194 whose return value is often ignored.
2197 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2198 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2199 validated when establishing a connection.

2202 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2204 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2206 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2207 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2210 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2211 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2212 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2213 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2214 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2217 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2221 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2223 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2224 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2225 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2228 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2229 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2230 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2231 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2232 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2233 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2235 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2239 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2241 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2242 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2243 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2244 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2245 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2246 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2247 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2248 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2249 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2250 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2251 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2252 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2253 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2254 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2255 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2256 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2258 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2262 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2264 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2265 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2266 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2268 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2269 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2270 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2271 applications are not affected.
2273 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2279 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2280 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2281 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
2283 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2287 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2288 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2291 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2295 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2296 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2299 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2301 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2302 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2303 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2306 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2307 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2308 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2309 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2310 will need to explicitly call either of:
2312 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2314 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2316 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2317 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2318 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2319 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2320 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2324 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2326 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2327 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2328 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2331 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2336 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2338 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2340 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2341 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2342 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2345 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2346 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2347 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2348 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2349 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2350 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2351 that of a valid user.
2355 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2357 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2358 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2359 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2360 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2361 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2362 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2363 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2364 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2365 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2366 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2367 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2369 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2370 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2371 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2372 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2373 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2375 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2379 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2381 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2382 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2383 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2385 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2386 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2387 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2388 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2389 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2392 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2393 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2394 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2395 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2396 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2397 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2398 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2399 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2400 as command line arguments.
2402 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2403 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2404 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2406 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2410 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2412 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2413 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2414 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2415 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2416 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2418 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2419 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
2420 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
2421 http://cachebleed.info.
2425 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2426 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2427 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2428 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
2431 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2432 *) DH small subgroups
2434 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2435 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2436 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2437 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2438 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2439 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2440 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2441 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2442 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2443 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2445 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2446 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2447 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2448 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2449 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2451 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2452 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2453 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2454 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2456 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2457 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2459 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2463 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2465 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2466 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2467 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2470 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
2471 and Sebastian Schinzel.
2475 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
2477 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2479 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2480 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2481 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2482 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2483 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2484 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2485 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2486 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2487 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2488 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2489 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2490 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
2492 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
2496 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2498 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2499 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2500 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2501 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2502 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2503 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2504 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2507 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
2511 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2513 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2514 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2515 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2516 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
2518 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
2523 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2524 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2525 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2526 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
2529 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,

2533 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
2535 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2537 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2538 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2539 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2540 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2541 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2542 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
2544 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
2548 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
2550 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
2551 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
2555 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2557 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2559 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2560 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2563 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2564 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2565 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2566 client authentication enabled.
2568 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2572 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2574 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2575 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2576 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2579 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2580 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2581 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2582 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2583 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2586 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2587 independently by Hanno Böck.
2591 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2593 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2594 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2595 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2597 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2598 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2599 servers are not affected.
2601 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2605 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2607 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2608 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2609 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2611 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
2615 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2617 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
2618 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
2619 a double free of the ticket data.
2623 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
2624 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
2625 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
2628 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
2630 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2632 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2633 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2634 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2636 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2639 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2641 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2643 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2644 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2645 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2646 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2647 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2648 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2649 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2650 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2652 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2656 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2658 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2659 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2660 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2661 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2662 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2663 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2664 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2665 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2668 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2672 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2674 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2675 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2676 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2677 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2678 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2679 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2683 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2685 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2686 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2687 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2688 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2689 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2690 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2691 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2693 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2697 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2699 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2700 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2701 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2703 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2704 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2705 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2710 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2712 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2713 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2714 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2716 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2717 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2718 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2720 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2724 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2726 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2727 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2728 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2730 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2731 (OpenSSL development team).
2735 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2737 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2738 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2739 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2743 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2745 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2746 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2747 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2748 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2749 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2750 SSL_client_methodv23)
2751 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2752 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2754 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2755 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2756 output may be predictable.
2758 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2759 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2761 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2765 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2767 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2768 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2769 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2770 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2771 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2772 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2774 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2779 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2781 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2782 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2784 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2788 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2791 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2793 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2794 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2795 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2796 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2797 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2798 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2801 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2802 (other platforms pending).
2803 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2805 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2806 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2809 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2810 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2811 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2814 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2815 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2816 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2817 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2820 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2821 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2823 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2824 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2825 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2826 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2827 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2829 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2832 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2833 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2834 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2835 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2837 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2839 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2841 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2842 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2843 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2846 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2849 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2850 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2851 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2854 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2855 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2858 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2859 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2862 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2863 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2864 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2865 algorithms and include tests cases.
2868 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2870 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2872 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2873 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2876 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2877 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2878 summary of the connection parameters.
2881 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2882 of connection parameters.
2885 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2886 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2888 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2889 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2892 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2895 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2896 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2899 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2900 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2903 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2907 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2908 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2909 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2912 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2915 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2916 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2919 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2920 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2921 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2925 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2926 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2929 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2933 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2937 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2938 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2939 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2940 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2943 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2944 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2947 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2948 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2949 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2953 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2954 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2955 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2956 use the certificate.
2959 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2962 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2963 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2964 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2965 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2966 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2967 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2968 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2970 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2971 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2975 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2976 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2977 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2980 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2981 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2982 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2983 supported signature algorithms.
2986 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2989 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2990 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2991 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2992 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2993 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2994 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2995 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2998 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2999 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3000 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3001 to have similar checks in it.
3003 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3004 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3005 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3006 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3007 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3010 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3011 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3012 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3013 shared signature algorithms.
3016 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3017 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3021 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3022 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3023 it couldn't be removed.
3026 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3027 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3030 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3031 functions. Add manual page.
3032 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3034 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3035 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3039 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3040 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3042 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3043 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3044 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3045 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3049 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3050 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3053 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3054 platform support for Linux and Android.
3057 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3060 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3061 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3062 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3063 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3064 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3067 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3068 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3069 the new parameter format automatically.
3072 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3073 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3076 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3079 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3080 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3081 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3082 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3083 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3086 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3087 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3088 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3089 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3090 to set list of supported curves.
3093 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3094 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3095 to print out received values.
3098 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3099 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3100 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3103 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3104 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3107 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3108 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3111 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3115 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3117 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3118 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3119 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3121 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3123 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3124 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3126 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3128 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3129 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3130 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3131 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3135 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3136 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3137 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3138 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3139 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3140 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3144 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3145 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3146 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3147 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3151 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3154 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3155 reporting this issue.
3159 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3160 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3161 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3162 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3163 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3164 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3168 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3169 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3170 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3171 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3172 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3173 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3174 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3179 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3180 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3182 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3183 and can vary with the CTX.
3186 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3188 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3189 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3190 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3191 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3192 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3194 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3196 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3197 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3199 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3201 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3202 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3203 errors for some broken certificates.
3205 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3207 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3209 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3210 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3212 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3213 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3214 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3215 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3217 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3218 of the OpenSSL core team.
3223 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3224 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3225 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3226 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3227 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3228 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3229 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3230 the OpenSSL core team.
3234 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3235 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3236 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3237 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3238 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3240 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3241 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3242 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3245 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3246 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3247 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3248 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3249 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3251 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3252 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3253 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3256 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3258 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3260 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3261 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3262 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3263 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3264 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3265 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3266 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3268 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3272 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3274 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3275 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3276 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3277 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3278 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3283 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3285 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3286 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3287 configured to send them.
3289 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3291 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3292 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3293 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3295 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3297 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3299 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3300 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3301 DigestInfo structures.
3303 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3307 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3309 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3310 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3311 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3313 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3314 Group for discovering this issue.
3318 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3319 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3320 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3321 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3322 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3324 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3325 researching this issue.
3329 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3330 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3331 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3332 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3334 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3339 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3340 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3341 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3345 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3346 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3347 Denial of Service attack.
3348 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3352 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3353 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3354 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3355 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3360 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3361 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3362 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3364 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3369 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3370 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3371 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3372 Denial of Service attack.
3374 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3375 discovering and researching this issue.
3379 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3380 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3381 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3382 output to the attacker.
3384 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3386 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3388 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3389 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3390 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3393 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3395 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3396 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3397 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3399 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3400 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3401 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3403 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3404 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3407 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3409 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3411 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3412 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3413 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3414 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3416 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3417 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3419 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3420 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3422 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3423 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3424 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3426 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3428 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3430 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3431 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3432 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3434 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3435 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3437 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3439 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3440 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3443 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3444 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3445 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3446 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3448 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3449 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3450 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3451 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3453 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3454 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3455 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3457 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3459 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3460 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3461 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3462 is at least 512 bytes long.
3464 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3466 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3468 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3469 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3470 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3473 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3474 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3475 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3478 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3479 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3480 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3481 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3482 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3483 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3484 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3486 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3488 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3489 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3490 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3492 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3494 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3496 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3497 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3498 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3500 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3501 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3502 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3503 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3505 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3507 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3508 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3509 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3510 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3511 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3515 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3516 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3519 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3520 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3522 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3523 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3524 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3525 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3526 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3528 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3531 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3535 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3537 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3538 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3540 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3541 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3545 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3546 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3549 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3553 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3555 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3556 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3557 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3558 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3559 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3560 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3561 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3562 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3563 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3564 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3567 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3568 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3569 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3570 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3571 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3572 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3576 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3578 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3579 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3580 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3582 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3583 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3585 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3587 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3590 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3591 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3593 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3594 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3595 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3596 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3597 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3598 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3599 Most broken servers should now work.
3600 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3601 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3604 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3607 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3609 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3610 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3613 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3614 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3615 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3616 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3617 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3620 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3621 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3622 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3623 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3624 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3627 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3628 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3630 *) Add support for SCTP.
3631 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3633 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3634 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3636 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3638 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3639 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3640 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3641 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3642 - s390x: z196 support;
3643 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3647 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3648 (removal of unnecessary code)
3649 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3651 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3654 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3657 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3658 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3659 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3661 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3663 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3664 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3665 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3666 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3667 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3669 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3670 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3671 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3673 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3674 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3675 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3677 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3678 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3680 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3682 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3683 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3684 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3687 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3688 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3692 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3693 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3694 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3697 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3698 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3699 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3700 the appropriate parameters.
3703 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3704 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3705 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3706 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3707 against a number of sample certificates.
3710 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3711 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3713 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3714 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3716 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3717 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3721 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3725 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3726 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3727 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3728 password based CMS).
3731 *) Session-handling fixes:
3732 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3733 but also support Session Tickets.
3734 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3735 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3736 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3737 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3738 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3739 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3741 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3744 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3746 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3749 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3750 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3751 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3752 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3753 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3756 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3757 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3760 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3761 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3762 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3765 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3766 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3767 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3768 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3771 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3772 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3773 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3776 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3777 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3779 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3782 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3783 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3786 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3789 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3790 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3793 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3794 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3797 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3800 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3801 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3802 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3805 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3808 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3811 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3812 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3815 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3816 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3817 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3820 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3823 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3827 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3828 FIPS modules versions.
3831 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3832 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3833 until after the certificate request message is received.
3836 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3837 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3838 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3839 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3842 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3843 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3844 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3845 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3848 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3849 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3850 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3851 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3852 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3853 and version checking.
3856 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3857 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3858 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3859 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3862 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3863 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3864 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3865 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3868 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3871 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3872 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3873 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3875 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3876 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3877 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3880 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3881 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3883 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3884 a few changes are required:
3886 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3887 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3888 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3889 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3890 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3893 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3895 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3896 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3897 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3898 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3899 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3900 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3901 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3902 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3903 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3906 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3907 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3908 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3911 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3913 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3914 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3915 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3916 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3919 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3921 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3922 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3923 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3924 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3925 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3926 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3927 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3928 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3929 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3930 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3931 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3932 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3933 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3935 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3937 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3939 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3940 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3941 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3942 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3944 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3945 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3947 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3948 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3949 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3950 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3952 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3953 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3955 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3956 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3958 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3959 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3961 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3962 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3963 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3965 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3966 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3967 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3969 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3970 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3971 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3972 the last update always remained unused).
3973 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3975 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3976 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3978 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3980 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3981 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3982 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3984 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3985 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3986 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3988 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3991 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3992 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3993 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3996 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3997 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3999 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4001 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4003 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4005 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4006 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4008 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4009 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4013 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4015 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4016 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4017 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4020 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4021 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4022 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4025 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4027 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4028 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4029 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4032 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4036 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4038 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4040 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4042 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4044 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4045 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4046 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4049 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4052 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4053 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4054 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4056 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4057 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4058 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4061 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4062 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4065 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4066 some responders need this.
4069 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4071 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4073 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4074 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4075 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4078 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4081 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4082 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4083 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4084 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4085 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4086 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4087 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4088 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4091 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4092 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4093 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4094 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4096 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4097 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4099 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4103 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4104 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4105 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4106 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4107 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4108 attempting to work them out.
4111 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4112 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4113 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4114 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4117 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4118 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4119 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4120 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4121 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4124 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4125 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4132 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4134 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4138 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4139 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4141 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4142 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4144 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4145 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4146 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4147 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4148 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4151 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4152 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4153 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4156 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4157 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4160 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4161 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4163 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4164 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4167 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4170 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4171 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4172 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4176 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4177 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4178 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4179 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4180 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4181 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4184 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4185 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4187 This work was sponsored by Google.
4190 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4191 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4192 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4193 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4194 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4195 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4196 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4199 This work was sponsored by Google.
4202 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4204 This work was sponsored by Google.
4207 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4208 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4209 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4210 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4212 This work was sponsored by Google.
4215 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4216 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4217 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4218 CRL functionality in future.
4220 This work was sponsored by Google.
4223 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4225 This work was sponsored by Google.
4228 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4229 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4231 This work was sponsored by Google.
4234 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4235 and URI types are currently supported.
4237 This work was sponsored by Google.
4240 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4241 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4242 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4243 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4244 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4245 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4246 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4247 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4249 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4250 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4251 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4253 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4254 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4255 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4256 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4258 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4259 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4260 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4261 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4262 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4263 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4264 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4265 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4267 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4269 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4270 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4271 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4273 This work was sponsored by Google.
4276 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4279 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4280 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4281 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4284 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4285 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4288 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4289 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4292 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4293 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4294 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4295 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4296 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4297 content types and variants.
4300 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4303 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4304 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4305 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4306 files from the associated perl scripts.
4309 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4310 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4311 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4313 *) s390x assembler pack.
4316 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4320 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4321 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4322 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4323 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4324 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4325 to use. For example, specify an option
4327 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4329 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4330 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4331 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4332 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4333 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4334 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4336 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4337 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4338 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4339 return non-zero for success.
4341 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4344 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4345 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4349 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4352 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4353 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4354 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4355 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4356 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4357 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4358 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4359 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4360 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4362 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4363 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4364 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4365 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4366 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4367 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4369 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4370 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4371 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4372 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4373 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4374 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4378 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4381 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4383 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4384 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4385 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4388 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4389 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4392 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4393 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4394 with no application modification.
4396 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4397 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4399 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4400 or server extensions to be examined.
4402 This work was sponsored by Google.
4405 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4406 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4407 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4409 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4410 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4411 ciphersuite support.
4412 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4414 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4415 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4416 to output in BER and PEM format.
4419 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4420 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4421 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4422 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4423 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4426 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4427 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4428 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4432 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4433 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4434 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4435 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4436 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4437 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4438 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4439 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4442 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4443 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4444 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4445 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4447 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4448 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4449 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4453 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4454 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4455 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4456 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4457 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4458 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4459 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4460 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4461 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4463 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4464 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4465 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4466 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4467 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4468 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4469 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4470 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4471 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4472 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4473 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4476 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4477 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4478 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4480 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4481 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4485 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4486 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4487 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4490 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4491 it yet and it is largely untested.
4494 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4497 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4498 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4499 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4502 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4505 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4506 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4507 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4508 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4511 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4512 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4513 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4514 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4515 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4518 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4519 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4522 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4523 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4524 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4525 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4528 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4529 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4530 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4531 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4534 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4535 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4538 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4539 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4540 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4541 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4544 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4545 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4546 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4549 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4553 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4554 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4557 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4558 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4559 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4563 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4564 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4565 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4568 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4569 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4570 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4571 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4574 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4575 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4576 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4577 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4578 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4579 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4582 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4583 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4584 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4585 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4586 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4588 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4589 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4590 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4591 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4592 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4595 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4596 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4597 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4598 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4600 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4601 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4602 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4603 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4604 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4610 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4611 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4615 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4616 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4619 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4620 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4623 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4624 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4625 functional reference processing.
4628 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4629 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4633 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4634 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4635 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4638 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4639 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4640 application to support multiple signers.
4643 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4647 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4648 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4649 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4650 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4651 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4654 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4658 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4659 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4660 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4661 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4665 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4666 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4667 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4668 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4669 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4670 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4671 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4672 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4675 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4676 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4677 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4678 between digests and public key types.
4681 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4682 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4683 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4684 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4687 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4688 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4692 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4695 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4699 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4700 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4701 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4702 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4707 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4709 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4711 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4713 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4714 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4715 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4716 functionality for RSA.
4719 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4720 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4721 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4724 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4725 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4728 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4729 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4730 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4733 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4734 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4737 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4738 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4741 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4742 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4746 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4747 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4748 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4752 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4753 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4754 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4755 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4756 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4757 of public and private key structures.
4760 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4761 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4764 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4765 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4766 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4769 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4773 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4774 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4775 SSL_get_psk_identity
4776 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4778 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4780 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4781 and response verification functionality.
4782 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4784 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4785 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4786 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4787 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4788 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4789 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4790 server_name extension.
4792 New functions (subject to change):
4794 SSL_get_servername()
4795 SSL_get_servername_type()
4798 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4800 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4801 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4802 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4803 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4804 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4806 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4808 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4809 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4810 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4811 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4812 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4813 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4816 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4818 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4821 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4822 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4823 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4824 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4825 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4828 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4829 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4833 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4834 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4835 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4836 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4839 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4840 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4841 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4842 using the maximum available value.
4845 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4846 in addition to the text details.
4849 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4850 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4851 handle several customised structures at all.
4854 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4855 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4856 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4859 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4862 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4863 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4864 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4867 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4868 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4869 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4872 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4873 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4877 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4880 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4883 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4885 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4886 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4887 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4888 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4889 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4890 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4891 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4892 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4894 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4895 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4896 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4898 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4900 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4901 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4903 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4904 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4907 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4908 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4909 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4912 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4913 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4914 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4915 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4916 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4917 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4920 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4921 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4922 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4925 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4926 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4927 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4928 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4929 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4930 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4934 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4935 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4938 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4939 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4940 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4943 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4946 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4947 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4948 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4949 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4950 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4951 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4952 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4953 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4954 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4957 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4958 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4959 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4962 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4963 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4966 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4967 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4968 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4969 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4970 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4971 know what you are doing.
4972 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4974 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4975 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4976 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4977 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4978 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4979 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4983 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4984 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4985 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4987 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4989 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4990 warnings in other configurations.
4993 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4994 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4995 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4997 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4999 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5000 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5001 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5003 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5004 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5005 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5006 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5009 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5013 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5014 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5016 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5018 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5019 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5020 other than a simple chain.
5021 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5023 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5024 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5025 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5026 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5029 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5030 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5031 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5032 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5033 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5034 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5035 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5036 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5037 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5039 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5040 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5041 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5042 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5043 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5044 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5046 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5048 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5049 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5052 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5053 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5056 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5058 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5060 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5061 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5062 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5063 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5064 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5068 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5070 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5071 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5072 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5073 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5075 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5076 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5077 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5078 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5080 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5081 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5082 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5085 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5086 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5090 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5091 to handle some structures.
5094 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5096 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5098 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5101 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5104 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5107 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5108 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5112 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5114 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5116 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5118 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5121 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5122 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5123 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5124 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5126 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5127 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5129 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5130 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5133 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5134 s_client and s_server.
5137 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5138 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5140 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5141 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5143 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5144 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5145 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5146 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5147 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5150 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5152 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5153 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5156 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5157 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5160 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5161 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5162 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5163 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5165 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5166 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5168 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5170 *) Various precautionary measures:
5172 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5174 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5175 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5176 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5178 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5179 outside the expected range.
5181 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5184 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5186 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5187 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5188 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5190 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5193 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5196 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5198 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5201 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5202 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5203 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5205 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5208 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5209 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5210 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5214 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5216 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5217 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5218 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5219 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5221 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5222 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5225 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5227 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5228 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5229 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5231 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5233 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5234 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5235 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5236 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5239 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5240 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5241 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5242 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5243 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5244 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5245 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5247 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5249 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5250 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5251 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5252 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5253 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5255 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5256 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5258 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5259 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5260 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5261 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5262 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5264 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5266 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5267 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5268 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5269 sets may exist with different names.
5272 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5273 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5274 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5275 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5276 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5277 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5278 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5279 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5280 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5282 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5284 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5285 implementation in the following ways:
5287 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5290 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5291 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5292 ignored for embedded content.
5294 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5295 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5298 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5299 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5300 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5301 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5303 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5304 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5307 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5308 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5311 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5312 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5313 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5314 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5315 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5316 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5320 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5321 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5322 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5326 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5327 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5328 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5329 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5330 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5331 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5332 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5333 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5335 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5336 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5337 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5338 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5339 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5340 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5341 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5343 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5344 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5345 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5346 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5347 to s_client and s_server.
5350 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5352 *) Fix various bugs:
5353 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5354 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5355 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5356 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5357 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5359 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5361 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5362 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5363 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5364 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5365 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5366 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5367 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5368 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5371 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5372 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5373 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5376 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5377 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5378 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5381 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5382 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5385 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5386 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5387 with no application modification.
5389 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5390 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5392 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5393 or server extensions to be examined.
5395 This work was sponsored by Google.
5398 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5399 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5400 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5401 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5402 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5403 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5404 server_name extension.
5406 New functions (subject to change):
5408 SSL_get_servername()
5409 SSL_get_servername_type()
5412 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5414 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5415 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5416 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5417 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5418 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5420 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5422 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5423 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5424 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5425 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5426 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5427 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5430 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5432 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5435 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5438 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5439 (which previously caused an internal error).
5442 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5445 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5446 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5448 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5449 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5450 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5452 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5453 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5454 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5455 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5457 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5458 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5459 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5460 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5462 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5463 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5464 information. For detailed background information, see
5465 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5466 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5467 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5468 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5469 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5470 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5471 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5472 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5473 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5474 remove a conditional branch.
5476 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5477 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5478 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5479 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5480 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5481 remains as a deprecated alias.
5483 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5484 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5485 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5486 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5488 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5489 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5490 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5491 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5492 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5493 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5494 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5495 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5497 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5499 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5500 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5501 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5502 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5503 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5504 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5505 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5506 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5507 in a different context.
5510 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5511 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5512 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5515 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5516 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5517 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5519 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5521 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5522 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5523 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5524 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5525 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5528 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5529 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5530 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5531 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5532 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5533 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5536 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5537 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5538 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5539 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5540 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5543 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5544 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5546 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5547 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5548 Improve header file function name parsing.
5551 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5552 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5555 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5557 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5558 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5559 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5561 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5562 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5564 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5565 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5567 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5568 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5569 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5571 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5572 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5573 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5574 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5575 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5576 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5577 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5578 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5579 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5581 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5582 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5583 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5584 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5585 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5587 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5588 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5589 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5590 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5591 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5592 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5593 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5594 multiple values to extend the available space.
5598 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5600 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5601 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5603 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5606 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5607 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5608 undesirable limitations.
5609 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5611 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5612 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5613 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5614 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5615 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5616 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5617 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5620 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5622 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5623 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5624 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5626 The latter two were purportedly from
5627 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5630 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5631 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5632 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5635 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5636 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5639 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5640 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5641 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5642 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5644 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5645 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5646 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5649 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5650 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5651 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5652 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5653 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5654 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5657 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5659 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5660 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5663 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5664 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5666 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5667 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5668 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5669 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5672 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5673 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5676 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5677 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5678 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5679 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5680 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5681 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5682 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5686 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5687 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5688 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5689 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5692 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5693 under VC++ build system.
5696 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5697 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5700 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5702 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5703 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5704 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5705 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5706 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5708 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5709 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5710 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5712 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5715 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5716 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5719 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5720 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5722 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5725 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5726 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5728 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5729 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5732 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5733 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5737 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5739 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5742 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5745 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5746 key into the same file any more.
5749 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5752 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5753 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5755 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5756 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5759 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5760 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5761 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5762 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5763 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5764 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5766 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5767 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5768 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5771 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5772 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5773 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5774 - add new function for parameter creation
5775 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5776 BN_BLINDING parameters
5777 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5778 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5779 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5783 *) Add support for DTLS.
5784 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5786 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5787 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5790 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5791 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5794 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5795 the apps/openssl applications.
5798 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5799 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5800 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5803 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5804 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5806 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5807 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5809 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5810 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5811 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5812 avoid this algorithm.)
5816 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5817 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5818 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5821 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5822 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5825 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5826 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5827 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5830 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5832 The blank line is mandatory.
5836 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5837 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5841 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5842 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5844 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5845 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5846 to support policy checking and print out.
5849 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5850 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5851 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5852 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5854 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5857 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5858 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5860 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5861 implementation contributed by IBM.
5862 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5864 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5865 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5866 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5867 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5869 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5870 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5872 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5873 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5874 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5875 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5876 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5877 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5880 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5881 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5882 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5883 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5884 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5885 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5886 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5889 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5892 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5893 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5894 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5895 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5896 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5897 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5898 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5899 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5902 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5903 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5904 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5905 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5908 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5911 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5914 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5915 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5916 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5917 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5918 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5919 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5920 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5923 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5924 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5927 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5928 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5929 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5932 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5933 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5934 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5938 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5939 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5942 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5943 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5944 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5945 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5948 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5949 initialised value as BN_new().
5950 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5952 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5955 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5956 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5957 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5958 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5959 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5960 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5961 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5962 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5963 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5964 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5965 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5966 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5967 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5968 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5969 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5971 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5972 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5973 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5974 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5977 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5978 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5979 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5980 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5981 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5982 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5983 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5984 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5985 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5988 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5989 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5990 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5991 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5992 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5993 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5994 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5997 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5998 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5999 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6000 these have been updated also.
6003 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6004 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6005 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6006 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6007 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6011 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6012 structure of type "other".
6015 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6016 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6017 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6018 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6019 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6020 situation in the script.
6021 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6023 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6024 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6025 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6026 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6027 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6028 used as premaster secret.
6029 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6031 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6032 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6033 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6035 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6036 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6038 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6039 control of the error stack.
6042 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6045 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6046 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6047 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6048 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6051 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6052 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6053 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6056 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6057 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6058 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6062 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6063 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6064 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6065 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6068 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6069 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6070 the following flags are defined:
6072 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6073 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6074 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6077 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6078 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6079 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6080 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6084 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6085 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6086 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6087 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6088 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6091 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6092 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6093 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6096 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6097 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6098 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6099 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6100 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6101 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6104 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6108 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6111 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6114 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6117 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6118 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6119 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6120 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6121 default implementation more easily.
6124 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6128 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6129 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6132 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6133 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6134 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6135 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6137 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6138 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6139 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6140 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6143 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6144 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6148 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6149 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6150 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6151 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6152 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6153 scalar * generator).
6154 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6156 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6157 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6158 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6162 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6163 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6164 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6165 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6166 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6167 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6168 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6169 linker additions, eg;
6170 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6173 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6174 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6175 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6178 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6179 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6180 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6184 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6185 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6186 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6187 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6190 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6191 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6192 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6193 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6194 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6195 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6196 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6197 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6198 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6199 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6201 Example for using the new callback interface:
6203 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6207 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6209 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6210 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6211 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6212 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6213 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6214 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6219 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6220 available to TLS with the number defined in
6221 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6224 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6225 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6227 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6228 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6229 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6230 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6232 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6233 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6235 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6236 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6240 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6241 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6244 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6245 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6246 and a macro that behave like
6247 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6249 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6252 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6253 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6254 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6256 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6258 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6261 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6262 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6263 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6264 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6266 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6267 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6268 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6269 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6270 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6271 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6272 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6273 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6275 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6276 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6279 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6280 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6282 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6283 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6284 files while avoiding the low level API.
6286 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6287 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6288 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6289 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6291 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6292 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6293 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6294 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6295 instead of the low level API.
6298 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6299 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6300 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6301 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6302 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6305 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6306 down to the template encoder.
6309 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6310 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6313 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6314 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6315 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6316 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6318 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6319 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6321 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6322 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6324 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6325 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6328 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6329 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6330 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6333 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6334 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6336 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6337 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6339 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6340 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6343 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6347 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6348 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6349 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6350 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6351 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6352 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6354 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6355 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6358 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6359 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6360 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6361 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6362 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6363 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6364 various internal method names.)
6366 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6367 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6369 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6370 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6372 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6373 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6375 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6376 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6377 methods are undefined.
6379 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6380 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6382 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6383 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6384 length of the modulus.
6386 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6387 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6389 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6390 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6392 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6393 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6395 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6396 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6397 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6400 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6401 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6402 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6403 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6405 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6406 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6407 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6408 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6410 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6411 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6413 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6414 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6415 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6416 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6417 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6419 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6420 This applies to the following functions:
6425 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6426 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6428 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6429 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6433 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6438 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6440 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6441 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6442 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6443 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6444 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6446 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6447 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6449 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6450 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6451 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6453 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6454 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6456 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6457 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6458 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6459 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6460 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6462 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6464 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6465 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6466 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6467 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6468 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6469 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6470 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6471 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6472 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6473 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6474 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6475 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6477 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6480 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6481 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6482 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6483 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6485 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6486 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6487 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6488 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6493 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6494 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6495 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6496 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6497 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6499 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6500 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6501 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6502 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6503 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6504 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6505 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6506 adding different types of curves.
6507 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6509 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6510 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6511 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6514 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6515 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6517 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6518 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6519 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6520 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6522 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6524 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6525 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6527 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6528 library. Most notably,
6529 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6530 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6531 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6532 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6533 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6534 extracted before the specific public key;
6535 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6536 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6538 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6539 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6541 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6542 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6543 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6544 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6546 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6547 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6548 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6550 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6551 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6552 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6553 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6554 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6555 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6559 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6561 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6563 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6565 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6566 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6567 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6570 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6571 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6572 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6575 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6578 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6579 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6582 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6583 run algorithm test programs.
6586 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6589 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6590 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6591 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6592 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6593 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6596 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6597 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6600 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6602 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6603 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6604 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6606 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6607 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6609 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6610 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6612 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6613 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6614 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6616 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6617 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6618 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6619 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6620 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6621 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6622 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6625 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6627 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6628 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6630 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6631 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6632 undesirable limitations.
6633 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6635 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6637 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6638 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6639 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6641 The latter two were purportedly from
6642 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6645 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6646 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6647 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6650 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6651 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6654 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6656 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6657 module in FIPS mode.
6660 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6663 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6664 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6665 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6666 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6669 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6671 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6672 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6673 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6674 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6675 the difference induced by this change.
6678 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6680 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6681 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6682 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6683 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6684 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6686 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6687 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6688 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6690 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6691 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6694 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6695 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6696 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6697 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6701 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6702 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6703 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6704 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6705 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6707 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6708 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6709 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6710 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6711 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6712 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6714 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6716 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6717 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6718 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6719 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6720 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6723 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6727 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6728 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6729 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6732 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6733 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6734 structures constant.
6737 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6739 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6742 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6743 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6744 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6745 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6746 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6747 some needed definitions.
6750 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6753 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6754 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6755 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6756 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6759 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6761 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6762 server and client random values. Previously
6763 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6764 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6766 This change has negligible security impact because:
6768 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6771 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6774 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6775 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6778 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6781 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6783 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6786 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6787 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6788 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6790 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6793 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6794 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6797 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6798 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6799 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6801 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6804 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6805 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6806 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6810 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6811 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6812 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6813 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6815 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6816 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6817 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6818 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6822 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6824 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6825 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6826 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6827 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6828 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6831 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6834 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6835 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6837 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6838 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6839 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6840 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6841 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6842 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6843 rather than being initialized to 1.
6846 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6848 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6849 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6850 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6852 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6854 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6856 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6857 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6858 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6859 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6860 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6861 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6864 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6865 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6866 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6867 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6868 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6872 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6873 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6874 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6875 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6876 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6879 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6880 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6881 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6885 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6886 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6888 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6891 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6893 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6895 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6896 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6898 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6900 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6901 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6905 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6906 exiting on the first error in a request.
6909 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6910 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6914 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6915 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6916 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6917 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6919 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6920 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6923 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6924 blocks during encryption.
6927 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6928 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6929 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6930 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6934 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6935 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6936 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6937 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6938 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6942 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6944 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6945 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6946 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6947 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6950 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6951 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6952 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6953 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6954 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6956 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6957 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6958 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6959 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6960 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6961 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6962 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6963 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6964 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6967 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6968 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6969 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6970 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6973 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6974 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6977 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6979 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6980 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6981 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6982 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6983 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6985 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6986 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6987 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6989 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6990 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6991 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6992 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6993 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6995 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
6996 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6997 used by default when no-err is given.
7000 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7001 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7003 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7004 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7005 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7006 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7007 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7009 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7010 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7011 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7012 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7014 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7016 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7018 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7020 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7021 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7022 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7023 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7027 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7028 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7030 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7031 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7034 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7035 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7036 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7037 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7040 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7041 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7042 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7043 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7044 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7045 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7046 followup to PR #377.
7049 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7050 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7053 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7054 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7055 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7056 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
7058 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7060 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7063 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7064 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7065 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7066 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7068 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7072 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7073 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7077 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7078 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7079 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7080 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7081 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7082 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7084 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7085 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7086 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7087 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7088 have to be made anyway).
7091 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7092 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7093 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7096 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7097 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7098 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7101 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7102 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7103 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7105 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7106 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7107 edit numbers of the version.
7108 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7110 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7111 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7112 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7114 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7115 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7117 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7118 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7119 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7121 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7122 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7124 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7125 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7127 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7128 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7130 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7131 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7133 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7135 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7137 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7138 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7139 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7141 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7142 representations in a platform independent manner.
7143 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7145 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7146 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7147 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7149 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7151 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7153 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7154 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7156 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7158 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7160 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7161 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7162 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7164 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7166 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7168 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7169 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7171 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7172 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7174 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7175 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7177 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7178 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7180 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7182 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7184 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7185 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7187 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7188 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7190 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7191 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7193 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7195 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7196 the 0.9.6 release series:
7198 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7199 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7201 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7203 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7206 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7207 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7209 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7210 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7212 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7213 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7214 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7215 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7217 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7218 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7219 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7221 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7222 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7223 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7224 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7226 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7227 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7228 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7231 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7232 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7233 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7234 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7235 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7236 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7237 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7238 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7241 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7242 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7243 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7246 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7247 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7248 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7249 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7250 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7252 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7253 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7255 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7256 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7259 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7260 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7261 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7262 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7263 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7264 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7267 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7268 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7269 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7272 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7273 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7276 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7277 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7278 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7279 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7280 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7281 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7282 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7285 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7286 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7287 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7288 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7289 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7290 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7293 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7294 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7295 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7296 declaration has been changed from
7299 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7300 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7301 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7302 has been changed into
7303 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7305 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7306 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7307 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7309 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7310 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7312 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7313 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7314 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7315 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7316 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7317 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7318 always load it have also been added.
7321 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7322 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7323 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7325 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7327 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7328 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7329 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7331 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7332 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7333 command line option can be used to specify an
7337 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7338 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7341 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7342 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7343 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7346 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7347 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7348 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7349 to work with the new engine framework.
7350 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7352 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7353 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7354 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7355 to work with the new engine framework.
7358 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7359 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7360 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7362 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7363 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7365 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7366 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7367 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7368 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7370 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7372 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7373 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7375 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7376 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7378 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7379 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7380 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7383 *) Add new functions
7385 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7386 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7387 These are similar to
7390 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7391 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7392 still in the error queue.
7393 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7395 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7397 default_algorithms = ALL
7398 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7401 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7404 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7407 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7408 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7409 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7410 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7412 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7413 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7415 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7416 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7418 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7419 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7422 *) New functions/macros
7424 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7425 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7426 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7427 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7429 to request calling a callback function
7431 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7432 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7434 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7435 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7436 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7437 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7438 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7439 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7440 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7441 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7442 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7443 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7445 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7446 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7449 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7450 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7451 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7452 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7453 the configuration scripts.
7455 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7456 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7457 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7459 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7460 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7462 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7463 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7464 when reusing an existing buffer.
7467 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7468 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7471 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7472 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7475 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7476 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7477 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7478 has the same effect.
7479 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7481 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7482 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7483 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7484 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7485 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7486 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7489 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7490 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7491 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7492 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7494 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7495 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7496 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7497 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7499 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7500 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7503 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7504 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7505 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7506 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7507 default), and then completely removed.
7510 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7511 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7512 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7513 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7514 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7515 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7516 particular extension is supported.
7519 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7520 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7523 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7524 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7525 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7526 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7527 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7528 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7529 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7530 requires the destination to be valid.
7532 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7533 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7536 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7537 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7538 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7541 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7542 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7544 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7545 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7546 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7547 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7548 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7549 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7550 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7551 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7552 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7553 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7554 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7555 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7556 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7557 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7558 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7559 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7560 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7561 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7562 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7566 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7569 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7570 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7571 become part of libeay.num as well.
7574 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7575 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7576 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7577 false once a handshake has been completed.
7578 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7579 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7580 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7581 client has followed the request.)
7584 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7585 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7586 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7587 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7589 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7590 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7591 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7594 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7597 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7598 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7599 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7602 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7603 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7606 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7607 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7608 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7609 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7612 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7613 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7614 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7615 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7616 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7617 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7620 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7621 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7622 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7623 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7624 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7625 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7626 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7627 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7630 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7631 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7634 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7637 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7638 md_data void pointer.
7641 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7642 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7643 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7644 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7645 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7646 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7649 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7650 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7651 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7652 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7653 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7654 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7655 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7656 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7657 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7658 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7659 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7660 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7661 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7662 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7663 rather than letting it slide.
7665 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7666 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7667 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7670 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7671 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7672 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7673 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7674 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7675 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7676 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7677 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7678 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7681 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7682 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7683 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7684 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7685 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7687 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7690 *) Add EVP test program.
7693 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7696 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7697 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7698 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7699 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7700 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7703 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7704 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7705 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7706 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7707 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7708 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7709 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7711 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7712 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7713 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7718 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7719 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7720 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7721 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7722 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7726 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7727 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7728 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7729 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7732 des_key_schedule ks;
7734 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7735 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7737 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7740 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7741 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7742 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7743 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7744 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7745 functions prevents this.
7748 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7751 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7752 correct _ecb suffix.
7755 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7756 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7757 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7758 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7759 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7762 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7765 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7766 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7767 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7768 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7770 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7771 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7773 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7774 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7775 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7776 via Richard Levitte]
7778 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7779 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7780 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7781 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7784 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7787 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

7802 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7803 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7805 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7806 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7807 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7808 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7809 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7810 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7813 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7814 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7817 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7818 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7819 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7820 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7822 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7823 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7824 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7825 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7826 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7827 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7831 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7832 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7833 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7834 and interrupts/cancellations.
7837 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7838 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7841 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7842 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7843 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7845 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7846 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7850 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7851 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7852 than this minimum value is recommended.
7855 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7856 that are easily reachable.
7859 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7860 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7862 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7864 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7865 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7866 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7867 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7870 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7871 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7872 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7875 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7876 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7877 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7878 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7879 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7880 internally such as S/MIME.
7882 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7883 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7884 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7886 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7890 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7891 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7892 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7893 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7895 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7897 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7899 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7900 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7901 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7905 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7906 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7907 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7908 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7909 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7910 a window system and the like.
7913 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7914 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7917 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7918 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7919 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7920 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7921 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7922 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7923 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7924 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7925 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7929 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7930 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7934 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7935 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7936 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7937 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7938 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7939 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7940 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7941 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7944 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7945 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7946 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7947 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7948 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7949 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7950 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7951 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7952 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7953 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7954 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7955 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7956 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7957 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7958 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7959 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7960 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7963 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7964 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7965 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7966 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7967 internal engine_int.h header.
7970 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7971 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7972 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7973 modify their own ones).
7976 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7977 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7978 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7979 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7980 later on via ctrl() commands.
7981 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7982 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7983 structural references.
7984 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7985 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7986 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7987 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7988 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7989 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7990 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7991 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7992 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7993 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7994 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7995 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7998 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7999 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8000 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8001 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8002 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8003 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8004 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8005 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8008 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8009 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8012 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8013 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8016 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8017 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8018 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8019 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8020 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8021 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8022 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8025 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8026 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8027 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8028 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8029 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8031 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8032 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8036 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8038 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8039 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8040 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8042 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8043 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8045 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8046 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8047 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8049 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8050 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8052 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8053 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8055 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8057 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8058 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8059 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8062 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8063 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8066 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8067 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8068 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8069 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8070 is 40 of more characters long.
8073 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8074 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8078 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8079 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8082 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8083 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8087 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8089 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8090 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8093 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8095 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8096 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8097 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8099 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8100 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8102 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8105 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8109 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8110 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8111 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8112 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8114 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8116 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8117 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8119 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8120 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8121 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8122 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8123 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8124 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8126 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8127 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8129 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8130 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8132 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8133 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8135 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8136 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8137 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8138 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8140 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8141 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8143 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8144 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8146 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8147 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8148 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8149 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8150 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8153 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8154 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8155 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8156 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8159 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8160 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8161 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8165 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8166 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8167 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8168 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8169 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8170 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8171 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8172 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8176 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8177 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8180 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8181 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8182 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8183 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8186 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8187 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8188 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8189 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8190 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8191 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8192 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8193 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8194 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8195 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8198 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8199 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8200 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8201 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8202 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8203 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8204 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8205 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8207 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8208 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8209 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8210 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8213 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8214 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8215 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8216 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8218 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8219 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8220 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8221 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8222 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8226 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8227 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8228 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8229 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8233 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8234 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8235 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8238 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8239 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8240 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8241 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8242 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8245 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8248 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8249 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8250 option to ocsp utility.
8253 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8254 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8255 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8256 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8257 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8258 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8259 the request is nonce-less.
8262 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8263 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8264 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8267 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8268 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8269 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8272 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8273 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8274 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8275 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8276 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8279 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8280 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8284 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8285 additional certificates supplied.
8288 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8289 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8293 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8294 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8297 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8298 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8299 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8300 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8301 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8302 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8303 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8304 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8305 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8307 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8308 request to response.
8311 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8312 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8313 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8314 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8315 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8316 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8317 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8318 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8319 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8320 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8321 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8324 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8325 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8326 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8327 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8330 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8331 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8333 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8334 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8335 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8338 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8339 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8340 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8341 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8342 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8344 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8345 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8346 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8349 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8350 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8351 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8352 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8353 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8354 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8355 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8356 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8358 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8359 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8360 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8361 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8362 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8363 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8366 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8367 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8368 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8369 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8370 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8371 printout format cleaned up.
8374 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8375 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8376 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8377 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8378 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8379 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8380 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8381 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8384 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8385 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8386 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8387 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8388 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8389 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8390 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8391 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8394 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8395 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8396 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8397 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8399 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8401 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8402 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8403 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8404 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8407 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8408 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8409 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8410 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8412 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8414 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8415 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8416 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8417 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8419 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8420 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8422 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8423 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8424 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8427 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8428 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8429 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8432 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8433 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8434 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8435 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8436 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8437 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8438 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8439 functions are provided:
8441 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8442 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8443 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8444 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8446 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8447 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8448 extended allocation function is enabled.
8449 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8450 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8451 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8453 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8454 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8455 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8456 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8457 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8460 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8461 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8462 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8464 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8465 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8466 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8469 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8470 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8471 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8472 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8473 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8474 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8475 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8476 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8477 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8480 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8481 provide utility functions which an application needing
8482 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8483 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8484 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8486 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8487 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8488 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8489 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8490 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8491 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8492 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8493 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8494 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8496 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8497 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8498 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8499 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8502 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8503 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8504 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8505 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8506 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8507 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8508 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8509 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8510 will be added elsewhere.
8513 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8514 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8515 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8516 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8519 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8520 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8521 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8522 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8523 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8524 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8525 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8526 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8527 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8528 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8529 to produce the required SET OF.
8532 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8533 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8534 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8537 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8538 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8539 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8540 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8541 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8542 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8545 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8546 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8547 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8550 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8551 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8552 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8555 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8556 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8557 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8558 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8559 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8562 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8563 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8566 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8567 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8568 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8569 certificates and CRLs.
8572 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8573 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8574 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8577 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8578 entries for variables.
8581 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8582 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8583 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8584 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8587 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8588 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8589 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8590 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8591 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8592 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8595 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8596 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8598 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8599 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8600 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8603 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8607 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8608 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8609 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8610 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8611 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8612 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8615 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8618 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8619 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8620 for now but they will eventually go away.
8623 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8624 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8625 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8626 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8627 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8628 has also been converted to the new form.
8631 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8632 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8633 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8634 for negative moduli.
8637 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8638 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8641 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8645 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8646 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8647 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8648 type-specific callbacks.
8651 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8653 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8654 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8656 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8657 in sections depending on the subject.
8660 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8664 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8665 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8666 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8667 be handled deterministically).
8668 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8670 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8671 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8672 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8675 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8678 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8679 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8680 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8681 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8682 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8685 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8686 sign of the number in question.
8688 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8690 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8691 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8692 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8693 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8694 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8697 *) New function BN_swap.
8700 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8701 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8702 results on negative inputs.
8705 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8706 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8707 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8710 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8711 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8712 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8713 and add new functions:
8722 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8726 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8728 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8729 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8731 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8732 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8733 be reduced modulo m.
8734 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8737 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8738 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8739 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8741 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8742 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8743 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8744 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8745 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8746 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8751 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8752 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8753 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8754 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8755 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8757 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8758 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8759 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8763 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8766 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8767 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8770 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8771 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8772 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8773 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8777 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8780 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8783 *) Add the following functions:
8785 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8787 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8789 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8791 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8792 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8793 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8794 libraries unless it's really needed.
8796 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8797 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8798 declarations (they differed!).
8801 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8804 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8807 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8810 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8811 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8814 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8815 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8816 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8818 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8819 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8822 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8825 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8828 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8831 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8832 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8833 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8835 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8836 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8837 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8838 different shared library filenames on each system.
8841 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8844 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8845 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8846 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8848 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8851 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8852 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8853 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8854 binary backward compatibility.
8855 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8856 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8857 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8861 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8862 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8863 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8864 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8868 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8871 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8872 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8873 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8874 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8878 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8881 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8883 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8884 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8885 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8887 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8889 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8891 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8892 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8895 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8897 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8899 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8900 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8902 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8903 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8907 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8908 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8912 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8913 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8914 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8915 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8917 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8918 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8921 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8923 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8924 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8925 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8926 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8929 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8930 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8931 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8932 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8933 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8935 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8936 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8937 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8938 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8939 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8940 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8941 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8942 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8943 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8946 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8948 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8949 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8950 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8951 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8952 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8954 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8955 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8956 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8958 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8960 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8961 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
8962 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8963 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8964 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8965 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8968 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8969 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8970 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8971 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8972 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8975 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8976 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8977 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8979 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8980 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8981 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8985 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8986 being properly terminated.
8989 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8990 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8991 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8992 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8994 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8995 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8996 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8997 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8998 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8999 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9000 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9002 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9004 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9005 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9008 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9009 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9010 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9011 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9012 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9013 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),

9017 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9018 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9019 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9020 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9021 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9023 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9024 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9027 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9029 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9030 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9031 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9033 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9035 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9036 and get fix the header length calculation.
9037 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9038 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9041 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9042 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9043 assertions could call abort()).
9044 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9046 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9048 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9049 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9050 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9052 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9054 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9055 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9056 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9059 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9063 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9064 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9065 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9067 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9068 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9069 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9070 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9071 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9075 *) Changes in security patch:
9077 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9078 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9079 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9082 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9083 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9084 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9085 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9086 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9088 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9090 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9092 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9093 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9094 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9096 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9097 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9098 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9100 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9101 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9102 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9104 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9106 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9107 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9108 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9110 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9111 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9113 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9114 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9115 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9116 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9117 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9118 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9121 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9122 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9123 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9124 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9127 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9130 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9131 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9132 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9133 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9134 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9135 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9137 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9138 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9139 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9140 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9141 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9144 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9145 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9146 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9147 BN_generate_prime().)
9149 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9150 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9151 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9155 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9156 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9159 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9160 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9161 when using non-blocking I/O.
9162 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9164 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9165 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9167 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9168 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9171 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9172 configuration for the versions before that.
9173 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9175 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9176 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9177 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9178 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9181 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9182 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9183 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9186 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9190 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9191 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9192 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9194 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9195 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9197 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9198 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9199 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9200 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9201 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9202 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9203 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9206 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9207 using a local variable.
9208 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9210 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9211 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9212 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9214 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9217 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9218 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9220 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9221 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9222 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9224 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9226 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9227 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9228 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9229 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9232 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9236 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9237 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9238 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9239 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9240 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9242 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9243 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9244 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9246 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9247 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9248 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9250 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9251 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9252 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9253 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9255 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9256 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9257 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9259 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9261 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9262 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9264 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9266 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9267 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9268 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9269 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9271 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9272 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9273 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9274 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9276 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9277 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9279 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9280 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9281 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9284 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9285 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9286 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9288 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9290 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9291 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9292 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9293 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9294 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9295 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9296 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9299 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9300 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9301 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9302 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9304 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9305 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9306 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9307 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9308 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9309 the client will at least see that alert.
9312 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9316 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9317 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9318 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9320 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9321 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9322 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9323 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9326 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9327 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9328 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9330 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9331 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9332 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9333 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9334 may leak via logfiles.)
9336 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9337 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9338 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9339 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9343 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9344 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9347 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9348 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9349 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9350 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9351 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9354 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9355 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9357 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9358 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9359 followed by modular reduction.
9360 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9362 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9363 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9366 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9367 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9368 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9369 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9372 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9375 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9376 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9379 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9380 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9381 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9382 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9383 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9384 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9386 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9388 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9389 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9390 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9391 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9392 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9394 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9397 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9398 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9399 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9400 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9401 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9402 to allow the necessary settings.
9405 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9406 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9407 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9408 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9411 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9412 dh->length and always used
9414 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9416 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9417 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9418 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9419 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9420 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9425 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9427 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9433 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9434 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9435 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9436 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9438 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9439 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9440 always reject numbers >= n.
9443 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9444 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9445 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9446 variable) is not atomic.
9449 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9450 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9451 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9452 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9454 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9455 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9457 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9459 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9461 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9464 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9466 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9467 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9468 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9469 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9470 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9471 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9472 to traverse all of 'state'.
9474 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9475 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9476 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9478 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9479 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9481 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9482 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9483 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9484 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9485 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9486 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9487 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9488 further strengthens the PRNG.
9491 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9494 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9495 an error message in this case.
9498 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9501 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9502 positive and less than q.
9505 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9506 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9508 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9510 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9511 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9515 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9517 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9518 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9519 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9520 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9521 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9522 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9523 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9526 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9527 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9528 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9529 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9531 Both problems are now fixed.
9534 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9535 (previously it was 1024).
9538 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9539 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9542 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9545 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9546 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9547 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9550 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9551 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9552 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9553 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9554 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9555 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9556 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9557 environment variables.
9559 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9560 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9561 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9564 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9565 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9566 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9567 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9568 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9569 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9572 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9576 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9578 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9579 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9581 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9582 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9583 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9584 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9588 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9589 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9590 amount of data available.
9591 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9592 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9594 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9595 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9596 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9597 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9600 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9601 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9605 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9606 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9607 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9608 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9611 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9614 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9617 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9618 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9620 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9622 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9623 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9624 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9625 (but broken) behaviour.
9628 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9630 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9632 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9633 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9636 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9640 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9641 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9643 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9646 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9647 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9648 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9650 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9651 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9652 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9655 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9656 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9659 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9660 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9662 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9664 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9666 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9667 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9668 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9669 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9672 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9675 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9676 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9677 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9679 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9682 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9684 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9685 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9686 but the code is actually correct.
9689 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9690 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9691 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9692 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9693 and leaves the highest bit random.
9694 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9696 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9697 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9698 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9699 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9700 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9701 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9702 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9705 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9708 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9709 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9712 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9713 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9714 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9715 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9719 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9720 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9721 and break the signature.
9723 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9725 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9729 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9730 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9731 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9732 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9733 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9736 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9737 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9739 *) ./config script fixes.
9740 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9742 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9745 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9746 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9747 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9748 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9749 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9751 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9752 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9755 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9756 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9759 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9760 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9761 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9762 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9764 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9765 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9767 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9768 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9769 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9770 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9771 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9773 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9776 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9779 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9782 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9785 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9786 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9789 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9790 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9791 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9792 result of the server certificate verification.)
9795 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9796 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9797 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9801 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9802 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9803 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9804 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9805 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9806 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9807 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9808 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9811 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9812 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9813 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9814 happening the other way round.
9817 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9818 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9821 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9822 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9823 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9824 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9827 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9828 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9830 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9832 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9833 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9834 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9837 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9839 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9841 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9845 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9847 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9848 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9849 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9850 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9851 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9853 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9854 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9858 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9861 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9863 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9864 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9865 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9866 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9867 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9868 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9869 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9870 by the Finished messages.
9873 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9874 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9876 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9877 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9878 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9879 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9880 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9884 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9885 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9886 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9887 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9888 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9889 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9890 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9891 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9892 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9896 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9897 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9898 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9899 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9901 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9902 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9903 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9904 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9905 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9908 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9909 been tested well enough.
9912 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9913 it can return incorrect results.
9914 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9915 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9918 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9919 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9920 include zero length content when signing messages.
9923 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9924 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9927 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9930 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9934 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9935 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9936 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9937 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9938 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9939 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9942 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9943 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9945 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9946 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9948 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9949 random number < q in the DSA library.
9952 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9953 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9954 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9955 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9956 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9957 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9958 just makes things more complicated.)
9961 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9965 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9966 work better on such systems.
9967 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9969 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9970 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9971 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9974 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9975 if there was more than one signature.
9976 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9978 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9979 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9980 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9981 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9984 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9985 rather than always using the current time.
9988 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9989 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9990 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9991 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9992 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9993 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9995 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9996 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9998 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10000 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10001 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10002 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10003 the same hash value.
10005 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10006 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10007 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10008 with X509_STORE internally.
10010 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10011 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10013 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10014 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10015 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10016 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10017 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10018 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10019 entirely (maybe later...).
10021 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10023 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10024 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10025 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10026 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10027 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10028 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10029 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10030 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10032 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10033 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10035 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10036 to customise the verify behaviour.
10039 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10040 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10043 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10044 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10045 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10046 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10047 request is improperly encoded.
10050 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10051 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10054 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10055 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10057 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10058 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10059 words set to zero.)
10062 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10063 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10064 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10067 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10068 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10069 BIO/fp routines also added.
10072 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10073 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10075 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10076 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10077 demos/state_machine.
10080 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10081 generation and verification.
10084 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10085 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10086 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10087 encode and decode it manually.
10090 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10091 compile under VC++.
10092 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10094 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10095 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10096 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10097 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10099 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10100 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10101 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10102 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10103 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10106 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10109 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10110 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10111 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10113 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10114 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10115 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10116 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10117 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10118 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10119 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10120 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10122 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10123 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10125 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10127 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10128 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10129 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10133 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10134 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10135 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10136 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10139 *) MD4 implemented.
10140 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10142 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10145 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10146 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10147 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10148 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10149 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10150 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10151 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10152 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10153 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10154 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10155 short or long names are found.
10158 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10159 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10161 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10162 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10163 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10164 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10166 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10167 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10168 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10169 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10172 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10173 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10174 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10177 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10178 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10179 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10180 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10181 to allow the various flags to be set.
10184 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10185 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10186 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10187 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10188 dates to be checked.
10191 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10192 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10193 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10196 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10197 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10198 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10201 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10202 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10205 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10206 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10207 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10208 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10209 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10210 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10213 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10214 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10218 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10222 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10223 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10224 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10225 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10226 form signing output easier to verify.
10229 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10232 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10233 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10234 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10235 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10236 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10237 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10238 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10239 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10240 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10241 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10244 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10246 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10247 the syntax given in objects.README.
10248 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10250 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10253 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10254 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10255 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10256 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10257 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10258 consistent name changes.
10261 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10264 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10265 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10266 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10267 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10270 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10271 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10272 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10276 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10277 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10278 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10279 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10282 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10283 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10284 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10285 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10286 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10287 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10288 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10289 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10290 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10291 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10292 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10295 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10296 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10297 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10298 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10299 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10300 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10301 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10302 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10303 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10304 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10307 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10308 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10309 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10310 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10312 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10313 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10314 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10315 omit any duplicate addresses.
10318 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10319 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10322 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10323 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10324 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10325 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10326 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10329 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10331 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10332 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10333 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10334 Free => OPENSSL_free
10337 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10338 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10341 *) CygWin32 support.
10342 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10344 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10345 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10346 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10347 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10348 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10352 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10353 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10354 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10355 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10356 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10357 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10358 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10361 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10362 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10363 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10364 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10365 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10366 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10367 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10368 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10369 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10370 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10371 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10374 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10375 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10376 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10377 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10378 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10380 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10381 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10382 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10383 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10384 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10386 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10389 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10390 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10391 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10392 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10394 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10396 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10399 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10400 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10401 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10404 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10405 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10406 any installed hardware versions can.
10409 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10410 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10411 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10415 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10416 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10417 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10418 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10419 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10421 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10422 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10425 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10426 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10429 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10430 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10431 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10435 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10438 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10439 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10440 but no ssl client purpose.
10441 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10443 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10444 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10445 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10446 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10447 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10448 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10449 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10450 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10451 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10452 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10453 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10456 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10457 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10458 be obtained from the error queue.
10461 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10462 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10463 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10464 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10467 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10470 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10471 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10472 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10473 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10474 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10477 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10478 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10479 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10480 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10481 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10484 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10485 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10486 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10488 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10490 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10491 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10492 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10493 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10494 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10495 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10496 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10497 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10498 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10499 or "the configuration storage API"...
10501 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10503 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10504 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10506 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10508 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10510 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10511 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10512 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10513 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10514 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10515 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10516 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10518 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10519 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10522 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10523 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10524 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10525 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10528 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10529 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10530 them in a portable way.
10531 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10533 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10535 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10537 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10538 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10540 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10541 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10542 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10543 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10545 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10546 was larger than the MD block size.
10547 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10549 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10550 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10551 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10552 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10556 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10557 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10558 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10560 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10562 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10564 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10565 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10566 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10567 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10568 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10569 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10571 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10572 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10574 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10575 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10578 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10581 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10582 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10584 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10585 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10586 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10587 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10590 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10591 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10592 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10593 does not suppress any output.
10596 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10597 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10598 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10599 with all the associated security issues.
10601 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10602 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10603 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10604 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10605 use the value in the default purpose.
10608 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10609 and fix a memory leak.
10612 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10613 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10614 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10615 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10618 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10619 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10620 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10621 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10624 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10625 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10626 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10629 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10630 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10633 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10634 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10638 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10639 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10642 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10643 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10644 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10647 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10648 number generation fails.
10651 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10654 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10655 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10657 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10660 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10661 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10663 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10664 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10666 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10668 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10669 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10672 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10673 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10675 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10676 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10679 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10680 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10681 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10682 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10683 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10684 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10686 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10687 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10688 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10692 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10693 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10694 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10695 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10696 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10697 counter, some don't.)
10698 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10699 counters or duplicate objects.
10702 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10703 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10706 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10707 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10708 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10710 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10711 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10712 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10716 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10717 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10720 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10721 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10722 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10726 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10727 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10728 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10731 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10732 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10733 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10734 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10735 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10736 should work without changes.
10739 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10740 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10741 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10742 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10743 must be defined. E.g.,
10744 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10745 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10746 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10747 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10749 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10753 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10754 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10755 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10758 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10759 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10760 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10761 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10764 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10765 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10766 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10767 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10768 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10769 is prompted for as usual.
10772 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10773 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10774 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10775 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10777 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10778 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10779 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10780 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10783 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10786 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10790 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10793 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10796 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10800 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10803 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10806 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10807 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10810 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10811 options to produce them.
10814 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10815 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10818 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10822 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10823 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10824 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10825 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10826 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10827 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10828 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10831 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10834 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10835 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10836 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10839 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10840 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10842 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10843 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10846 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10847 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10848 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10852 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10853 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10855 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10856 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10857 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10858 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10859 generation becomes much faster.
10861 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10862 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10863 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10864 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10865 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10866 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10867 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10868 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10869 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10870 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10873 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10874 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10875 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10876 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10877 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10878 trial division stage.
10881 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10885 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10888 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10891 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10892 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10893 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10897 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10898 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10899 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10902 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10903 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10904 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10905 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10907 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10908 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10911 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10914 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10915 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10916 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10917 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10920 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10921 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10922 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10925 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10926 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10927 (instead of parameters) in future.
10930 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10931 when a new cipher list is set.
10934 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10935 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10938 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10939 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10940 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10942 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10943 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10944 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10945 an error is flagged.
10947 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10948 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10949 the readability was also increased :-)
10950 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10952 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10953 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10954 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10955 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10959 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10960 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10963 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10964 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10965 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10966 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10969 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10970 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10971 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10972 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10973 because they handle more complex structures.)
10976 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10977 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10978 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10979 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10981 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10982 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10983 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10984 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10985 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10986 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10987 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10990 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10991 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10992 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10993 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10994 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10997 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11000 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11001 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11002 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11003 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11004 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11007 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11011 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11012 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11013 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11014 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11017 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11020 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11021 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11022 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11023 international characters are used.
11025 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11026 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11027 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11031 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11032 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11033 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11036 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11037 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11038 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11039 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11040 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11041 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11043 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11044 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11045 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11046 be handled by the string table functions.
11048 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11049 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11050 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11051 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11052 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11056 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11057 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11058 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11059 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11060 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11062 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11063 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11064 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11065 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11068 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11069 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11070 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11071 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11072 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11076 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11077 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11078 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11079 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11080 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11081 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11082 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11083 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11085 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11086 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11087 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11090 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11091 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11092 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11093 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11094 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11095 support to pkcs8 application.
11098 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11099 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11100 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11101 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11102 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11103 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11106 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11107 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11108 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11109 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11110 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11114 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11115 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11116 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11117 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11121 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11122 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11123 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11124 and any application specific purposes.
11126 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11127 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11128 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11129 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11130 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11131 if the certificate is self signed.
11134 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11135 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11138 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11139 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11140 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11141 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11144 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11145 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11146 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11147 Update documentation.
11150 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11151 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11152 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11153 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11154 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11157 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11159 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11161 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11162 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11163 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11164 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11165 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11166 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11167 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11168 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11169 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11170 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11172 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11174 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11175 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11176 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11177 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11178 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11180 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11181 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11182 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11183 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11184 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11185 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11186 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11187 request additional information:
11188 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11189 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11191 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11192 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11193 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11196 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11197 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11199 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11200 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11203 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11204 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11206 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11207 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11208 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11212 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11213 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11214 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11216 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11217 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11218 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11219 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11220 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11221 included in OpenSSL.
11224 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11225 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11226 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11227 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11228 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11229 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11232 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11236 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11237 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11238 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11239 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11240 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11244 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11248 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11249 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11250 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11251 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11252 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11253 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11254 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11255 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11256 be maintained manually.
11258 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11259 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11260 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11261 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11262 work because people forget to call this function]
11263 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11264 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11265 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11268 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11269 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11270 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11271 should be discouraged from doing it.
11274 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11275 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11276 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11277 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11278 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11279 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11282 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11283 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11284 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11286 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11287 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11288 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11290 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11291 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11292 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11293 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11294 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11295 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11297 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11298 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11299 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11301 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11302 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11305 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11306 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11307 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11308 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11311 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11314 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11315 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11316 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11317 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11318 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11319 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11320 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11321 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11322 keys so we should be OK.
11324 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11325 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11326 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11327 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11328 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11329 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11330 stay in the name of compatibility.
11332 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11333 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11334 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11336 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11337 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11338 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11339 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11340 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11341 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11345 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11346 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11347 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11348 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11349 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11350 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11351 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11352 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11353 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11354 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11355 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11356 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11357 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11360 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11363 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11364 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11365 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11366 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11367 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11368 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11369 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11370 openssl verify ss.pem
11371 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11372 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11376 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11377 (and add it to external session representation).
11378 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11379 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11380 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11381 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11382 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11383 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11385 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11387 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11388 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11389 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11390 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11392 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11393 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11394 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11397 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11398 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11399 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11403 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11404 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11405 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11407 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11408 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11409 certificate auxiliary information.
11412 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11416 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11417 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11418 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11419 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11420 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11421 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11422 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11425 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11426 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11429 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11430 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11431 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11432 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11435 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11438 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11439 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11442 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11443 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11444 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11445 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11446 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11447 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11448 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11449 using the new 'x509' options.
11451 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11452 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11453 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11454 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11458 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11459 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11460 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11461 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11462 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11465 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11466 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11467 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11468 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11469 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11470 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11471 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11472 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11473 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11474 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11477 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11478 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11479 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11480 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11481 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11482 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11483 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11486 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11487 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11488 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11489 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11490 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11491 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11492 openssl.cnf for more info.
11495 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11496 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11497 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11498 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11499 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11500 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11501 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11502 md should be large enough anyway.
11505 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11506 for handling the random seed file.
11508 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11510 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11513 x509 (when signing).
11514 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11515 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11516 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11518 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11519 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11520 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11521 that support '-rand'.
11524 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11525 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11528 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11529 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11532 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11533 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11534 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11535 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11539 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11540 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11541 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11542 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11545 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11546 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11547 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11548 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11549 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11550 print out all the purposes.
11553 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11557 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11558 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11559 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11560 single function call.
11563 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11564 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11567 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11568 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11569 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11572 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11573 when producing the local key id.
11574 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11576 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11577 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11578 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11582 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11583 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11584 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11585 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11588 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11589 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11590 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11591 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11593 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11594 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11595 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11596 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11598 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11599 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11600 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11601 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11602 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11603 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11604 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11605 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11606 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11607 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11608 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11609 trivial: move one line.
11610 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11612 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11613 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11614 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11615 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11616 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11617 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11618 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11619 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11620 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11621 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11622 with an event loop for example.
11625 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11626 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11627 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11628 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11629 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11630 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11631 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11632 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11633 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11636 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11637 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11638 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11639 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11640 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11641 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11644 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11645 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11646 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11647 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11649 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11650 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11651 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11652 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11656 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11657 (still largely untested)
11660 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11661 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11664 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11665 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11668 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11669 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11670 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11673 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11674 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11675 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11676 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11677 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11680 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11683 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11684 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11685 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11686 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11687 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11691 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11692 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11695 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11698 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11699 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11700 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11701 are otherwise ignored at present.
11704 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11705 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11706 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11707 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11708 copied until the next read.
11711 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11712 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11713 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11716 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11717 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11718 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11719 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11720 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11721 associated functions.
11724 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11725 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11726 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11727 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11728 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11729 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11730 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11731 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11732 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11736 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11737 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11738 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11739 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11742 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11743 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11744 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11745 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11746 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11750 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11751 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11755 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11756 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11757 extensions to be obtained and added.
11760 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11761 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11764 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11766 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11767 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11769 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11770 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11772 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11776 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11777 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11778 DH parameters contain its length).
11780 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11781 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11782 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11783 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11784 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11785 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11786 utter importance to use
11787 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11789 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11790 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11791 attacks may become possible!
11794 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11797 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11798 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11801 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11802 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11803 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11807 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11808 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11809 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11810 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11811 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11812 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11813 private key operations.
11816 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11819 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11820 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11822 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11823 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11824 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11825 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11826 the password callback is called.
11827 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11829 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11831 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11832 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11833 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11834 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11835 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11836 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11839 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11840 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11841 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11842 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11843 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11844 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11847 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11850 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11851 delete an unused file.
11854 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11855 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11856 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11857 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11860 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11861 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11862 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11866 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11867 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11868 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11870 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11871 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11872 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11873 comparison" warnings.
11874 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11877 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11878 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11879 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11882 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11883 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11885 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11886 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11888 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11889 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11890 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11892 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11893 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11894 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11895 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11896 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11898 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11900 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11901 The interface is as follows:
11902 Applications can use
11903 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11904 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11905 "off" is now the default.
11906 The library internally uses
11907 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11908 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11909 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11911 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11912 even the default) are now avoided.
11914 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11915 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11916 than just having a counter.
11918 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11920 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11924 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11925 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11926 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11927 Initial "mode" flags are:
11929 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11930 a single record has been written.
11931 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11932 retries use the same buffer location.
11933 (But all of the contents must be
11937 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11940 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11941 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11943 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11944 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11945 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11948 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11949 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11951 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11953 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11954 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11955 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11956 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11958 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11959 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11961 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11962 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11963 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11964 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11965 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11966 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11969 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11970 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11971 necessary function names.
11974 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11975 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11976 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11977 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11980 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11981 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11982 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11985 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11986 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11987 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11988 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11990 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11994 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11995 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11996 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11999 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12000 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12004 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12005 for the encoded length.
12006 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12008 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12011 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12012 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12013 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12014 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12017 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12018 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12019 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12021 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12022 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12023 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12024 unusual formatting.
12027 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12028 to use the new extension code.
12031 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12032 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12033 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12037 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12038 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12039 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12043 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12046 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12047 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12048 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12051 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12052 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12053 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12054 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12057 *) DES library cleanups.
12060 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12061 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12062 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12063 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12064 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12068 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12069 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12072 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12073 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12074 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12075 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12076 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12077 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12078 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12079 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12080 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12083 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12084 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12085 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12086 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12087 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12088 value doesn't matter.
12091 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12095 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12096 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12097 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12098 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12100 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12103 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12104 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12105 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12107 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12108 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12110 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12113 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12116 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12119 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12123 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12125 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12127 *) Updated some demos.
12128 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12130 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12133 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12136 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12139 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12140 instead of using a fixed path.
12143 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12146 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12150 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12152 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12153 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12154 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12156 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12157 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12158 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12159 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12160 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12161 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12162 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12163 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12164 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12165 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12168 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12169 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12172 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12173 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12174 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12175 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12176 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12178 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12181 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12182 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12183 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12186 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12189 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12190 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12191 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12192 key elements as negative integers.
12195 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12196 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12199 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12201 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12202 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12203 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12206 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12207 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12208 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12209 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12210 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12213 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12216 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12217 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12218 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12219 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12221 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12222 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12223 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12225 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12226 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12227 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12228 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12229 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12230 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12231 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12232 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12233 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12235 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12236 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12237 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12238 does not influence s as it used to.
12240 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12241 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12242 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12243 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12244 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12245 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12248 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12249 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12250 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12254 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12255 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12256 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12260 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12261 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12262 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12266 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12267 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12270 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12271 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12273 *) Support Mingw32.
12276 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12277 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12279 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12280 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12282 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12285 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12288 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12289 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12291 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12292 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12293 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12297 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12298 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12299 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12300 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12301 now it really counts the depth.
12304 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12305 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12306 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12307 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12308 didn't match the private key).
12310 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12311 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12312 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12315 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12318 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12322 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12323 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12324 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12327 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12330 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12331 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12332 such as /usr/local/bin.
12335 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12336 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12338 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12341 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12342 extension adding in x509 utility.
12345 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12348 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12352 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12355 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12356 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12357 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12358 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12359 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12360 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12361 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12362 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12363 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12364 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12367 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12370 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12371 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12374 *) Fix some race conditions.
12377 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12378 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12381 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12384 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12385 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12386 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12387 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12389 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12390 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12392 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12393 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12394 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12396 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12397 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12399 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12402 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12403 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12405 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12408 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12409 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12411 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12412 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12415 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12416 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12419 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12420 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12423 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12424 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12427 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12428 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12431 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12432 support typesafe stack.
12435 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12436 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12438 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12439 old X509V3 handling code.
12442 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12445 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12448 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12451 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12452 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12454 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12455 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12456 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12457 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12458 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12461 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12462 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12463 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12464 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12465 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12467 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12468 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12469 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12470 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12472 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12473 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12474 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12475 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12477 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12478 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12479 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12480 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12481 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12482 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12485 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12486 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12489 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12490 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12493 *) Tweaks to Configure
12494 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12496 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12500 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12503 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12504 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12507 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12508 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12509 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12512 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12515 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12516 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12519 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12520 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12521 to library startup routines.
12524 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12525 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12526 codes along the way.
12529 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12530 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12531 objects to objects.h
12534 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12535 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12538 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12539 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12541 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12542 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12543 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12545 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12546 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12547 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12549 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12550 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12551 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12554 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12556 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12557 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12560 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12561 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12562 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12563 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12564 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12566 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12567 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12568 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12570 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12572 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12574 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12576 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12577 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12579 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12580 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12581 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12582 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12584 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12587 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12588 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12589 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12590 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12593 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12594 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12595 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12598 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12599 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12600 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12601 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12602 installed as `perl').
12603 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12605 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12606 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12608 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12609 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12610 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12611 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12612 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12615 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12618 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12619 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12620 is horrible: I feel ill....
12623 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12624 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12625 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12626 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12629 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12630 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12632 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12633 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12634 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12635 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12637 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12638 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12639 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12640 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12641 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12642 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12644 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12646 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12647 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12649 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12650 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12652 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12655 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12656 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12660 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12661 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12662 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12663 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12664 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12665 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12666 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12667 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12668 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12669 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12670 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12672 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12675 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12676 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12677 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12678 for linking it into DSOs.
12679 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12681 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12685 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12686 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12687 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12688 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12689 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12690 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12692 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12693 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12694 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12695 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12696 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12697 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12698 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12700 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12701 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12702 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12706 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12707 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12708 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12709 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12712 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12713 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12714 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12715 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12716 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12720 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12721 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12722 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12723 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12724 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12726 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12727 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12728 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12730 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12731 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12733 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12734 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12735 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12736 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12737 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12740 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12741 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12742 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12743 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12744 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12745 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12746 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12749 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12751 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12752 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12755 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12756 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12758 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12759 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12762 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12763 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12764 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12765 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12766 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12768 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12769 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12770 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12771 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12772 no way to reconfigure them.
12773 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12774 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12775 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12776 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12777 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12778 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12780 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12781 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12782 recognized by the users.
12783 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12785 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12786 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12787 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12788 already masked variable.
12789 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12791 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12792 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12794 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12795 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12796 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12797 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12799 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12800 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12801 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12803 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12804 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12805 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12806 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12807 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12808 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12809 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12810 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12812 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12814 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12815 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12816 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12818 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12819 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12823 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12824 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12826 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12827 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12828 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12829 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12832 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12835 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12836 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12838 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12841 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12842 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12845 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12846 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12849 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12850 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12851 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12852 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12853 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12854 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12855 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12858 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12859 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12861 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12862 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12863 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12864 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12865 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12867 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12868 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12869 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12872 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12873 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12877 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12878 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12879 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12881 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12882 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12883 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12884 build instructions.
12887 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12888 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12889 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12890 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12893 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12894 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12895 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12896 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12899 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12900 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12901 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12902 so it wasn't spotted.
12903 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12905 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12906 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12907 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12908 vectors if you have them.
12911 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12912 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12915 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12916 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12917 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12918 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12920 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12921 it will update them.
12924 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12925 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12926 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12927 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12928 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12929 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12930 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12931 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12933 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12934 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12935 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12936 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12937 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12938 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12939 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12940 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12941 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12942 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12944 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12945 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12946 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12947 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12948 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12951 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12955 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12956 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12958 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12959 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12961 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12962 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12965 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12966 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12968 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12969 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12971 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12974 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12978 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12979 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12980 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12981 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12983 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12986 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12989 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12992 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12993 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12996 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12997 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13001 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13002 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13005 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13006 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13007 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13010 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13011 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13012 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13013 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13014 properly to be processed.
13017 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13018 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13019 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13022 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13023 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13025 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13026 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13027 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13028 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13029 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13030 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13031 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13032 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13033 or delete all the .err files.
13036 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13037 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13038 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13039 to regenerate it if needed.
13040 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13041 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13043 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13044 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13046 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13047 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13048 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13049 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13050 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13053 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13054 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13056 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13057 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13059 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13060 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13061 error, but didn't set one).
13062 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13064 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13067 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13068 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13071 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13072 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13074 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13075 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13076 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13077 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13078 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13079 OID is not part of the table.
13082 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13083 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13086 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13089 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13090 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13094 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13095 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13097 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13099 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13101 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13102 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13104 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13105 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13107 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13108 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13110 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13111 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13114 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13115 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13118 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13119 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13121 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13122 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13124 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13125 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13127 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13128 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13130 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13131 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13132 unused in the certificate verification process.
13133 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13135 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13136 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13139 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13140 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13141 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13143 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13144 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13145 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13146 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13147 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13149 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13150 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13153 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13156 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13159 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13160 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13162 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13165 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13168 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13171 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13172 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13173 other error libraries.
13176 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13179 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13180 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13184 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13185 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13186 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13187 the new set of documentation files.
13188 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13190 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13191 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13192 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13193 number of arguments.
13194 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13196 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13199 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13200 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13201 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13203 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13206 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13210 unixware-2.0-pentium
13214 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13215 before they are needed.
13218 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13222 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13224 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13225 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13226 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13228 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13231 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13232 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13233 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13235 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13236 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13237 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13239 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13240 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13241 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13243 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13244 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13246 *) Updated the README file.
13247 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13249 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13250 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13251 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13253 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13254 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13255 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13257 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13258 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13259 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13260 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13261 o removed obsolete TODO file
13262 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13263 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13265 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13266 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13267 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

13270 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13271 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13273 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13276 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13277 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13278 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13280 [The OpenSSL Project]
13283 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
13285 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
13288 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
13291 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13292 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13295 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13296 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13300 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13302 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13304 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13307 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13310 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13313 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13316 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
13319 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
13322 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13325 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13328 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13331 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13334 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13337 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13340 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13343 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13346 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13349 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13352 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13355 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13356 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13357 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13360 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13361 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13364 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13367 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
13370 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
13371 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
13374 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
13377 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
13380 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
13381 bytes sent in the client random.
