5 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
7 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
8 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
9 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
12 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
13 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
14 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
15 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
16 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
17 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
20 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
21 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
22 at https://www.openssl.org/docs/misc/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
23 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
26 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
27 compatible client hello.
30 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
31 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
32 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
34 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
40 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
45 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
48 *) Start cleaning up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
49 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
50 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
51 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
52 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
53 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
56 *) Start cleaning up dead code
57 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
60 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
61 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
62 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
64 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
65 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
66 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
68 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
70 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
72 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
74 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
76 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
77 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
79 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
80 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
83 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
84 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
85 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
86 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
88 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
89 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
90 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
91 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
93 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
94 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
95 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
97 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
98 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
101 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
103 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
104 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
106 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
107 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
109 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
112 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
116 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
117 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
118 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
119 algorithms and include tests cases.
122 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
126 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
127 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
130 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
131 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
133 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
134 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
137 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
138 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
142 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
143 sign or verify all in one operation.
146 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
147 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
148 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
151 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
154 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
157 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
158 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
159 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
160 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
161 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
164 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
168 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
169 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
170 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
173 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
174 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
177 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
180 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
181 POST to handle HMAC cases.
184 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
185 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
188 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
189 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
190 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
193 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
194 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
195 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
196 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
197 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
198 requested amount of entropy.
201 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
202 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
205 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
206 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
207 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
211 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
212 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
213 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
216 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
217 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
218 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
219 will never use XTS mode.
222 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
223 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
224 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
225 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
226 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
227 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
230 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
231 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
232 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
233 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
236 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
237 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
238 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
241 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
244 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
247 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
248 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
251 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
252 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
255 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
256 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
259 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
260 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
261 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
262 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
263 and rename any affected symbols.
266 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
267 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
270 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
271 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
272 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
275 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
278 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
279 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
280 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
283 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
284 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
287 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
288 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
289 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
290 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
291 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
292 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
296 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
297 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
298 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
299 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
300 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
301 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
302 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
303 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
306 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
307 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
310 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
312 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
313 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
315 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
316 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
317 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
318 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
319 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
320 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
322 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
323 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
324 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
326 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
328 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
332 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
333 Add CMAC pkey methods.
336 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
337 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
338 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
341 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
342 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
343 multi-process servers.
346 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
347 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
348 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
349 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
350 RAND_METHOD structure.
353 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
354 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
355 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
356 whose return value is often ignored.
359 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
361 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
362 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
363 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
364 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
365 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
366 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
369 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
370 (other platforms pending).
371 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
373 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
374 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
377 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
378 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
379 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
382 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
383 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
384 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
385 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
388 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
389 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
391 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
392 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
393 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
394 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
395 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
397 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
400 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
401 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
402 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
403 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
405 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
407 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
409 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
410 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
411 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
414 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
417 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
418 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
419 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
422 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
423 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
426 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
427 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
430 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
431 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
432 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
433 algorithms and include tests cases.
436 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
438 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
440 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
441 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
444 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
445 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
446 summary of the connection parameters.
449 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
450 of connection parameters.
453 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
454 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
456 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
457 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
460 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
463 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
464 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
467 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
468 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
471 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
475 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
476 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
477 CRLs using the OCSP API.
480 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
483 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
484 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
487 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
488 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
489 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
493 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
494 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
497 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
501 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
505 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
506 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
507 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
508 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
511 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
512 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
515 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
516 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
517 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
521 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
522 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
523 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
527 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
530 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
531 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
532 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
533 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
534 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
535 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
536 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
538 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
539 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
543 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
544 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
545 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
548 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
549 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
550 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
551 supported signature algorithms.
554 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
557 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
558 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
559 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
560 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
561 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
562 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
563 certificate and specify the whole chain.
566 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
567 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
568 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
569 to have similar checks in it.
571 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
572 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
573 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
574 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
575 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
578 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
579 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
580 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
581 shared signature algorithms.
584 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
585 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
589 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
590 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
591 it couldn't be removed.
594 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
595 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
598 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
599 functions. Add manual page.
600 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
602 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
603 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
607 *) Fix OCSP checking.
608 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
610 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
611 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
612 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
613 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
617 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
618 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
621 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
622 platform support for Linux and Android.
625 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
628 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
629 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
630 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
631 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
632 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
635 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
636 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
637 the new parameter format automatically.
640 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
641 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
644 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
647 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
648 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
649 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
650 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
651 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
654 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
655 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
656 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
657 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
658 to set list of supported curves.
661 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
662 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
663 to print out received values.
666 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
667 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
668 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
671 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
672 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
675 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
676 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
679 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
683 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
685 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
686 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
687 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
689 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [xx XXX xxxx]
691 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
694 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
695 reporting this issue.
699 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
700 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
701 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
702 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
703 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
704 INRIA or reporting this issue.
708 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
709 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
711 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
712 and can vary with the CTX.
715 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
717 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
718 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
719 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
720 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
721 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
723 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
725 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
726 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
728 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
730 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
731 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
732 errors for some broken certificates.
734 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
736 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
738 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
739 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
741 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
742 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
743 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
744 (negative or with leading zeroes).
746 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
747 of the OpenSSL core team.
752 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
753 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
754 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
755 sanity and breaks all known clients.
756 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
758 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
759 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
760 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
763 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
764 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
765 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
766 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
767 announced in the initial ServerHello.
769 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
770 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
771 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
774 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
778 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
779 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
780 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
781 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
782 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
783 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
784 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
786 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
790 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
792 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
793 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
794 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
795 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
796 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
801 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
803 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
804 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
805 configured to send them.
807 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
809 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
810 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
811 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
813 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
815 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
817 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
818 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
819 DigestInfo structures.
821 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
825 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
827 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
828 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
829 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
831 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
832 Group for discovering this issue.
836 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
837 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
838 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
839 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
840 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
842 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
843 researching this issue.
847 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
848 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
849 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
850 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
852 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
857 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
858 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
859 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
863 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
864 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
865 Denial of Service attack.
866 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
870 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
871 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
872 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
873 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
878 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
879 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
880 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
882 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
887 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
888 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
889 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
890 Denial of Service attack.
892 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
893 discovering and researching this issue.
897 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
898 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
899 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
900 output to the attacker.
902 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
904 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
906 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
907 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
908 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
911 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
913 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
914 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
915 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
917 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
918 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
919 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
921 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
922 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
925 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
927 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
929 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
930 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
931 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
932 code on a vulnerable client or server.
934 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
935 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
937 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
938 are subject to a denial of service attack.
940 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
941 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
942 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
944 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
946 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
948 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
950 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
952 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
953 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
955 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
957 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
958 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
961 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
962 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
963 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
964 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
966 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
967 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
968 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
969 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
971 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
972 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
973 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
975 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
977 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
978 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
979 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
980 is at least 512 bytes long.
982 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
984 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
986 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
987 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
988 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
991 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
992 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
993 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
996 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
997 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
998 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
999 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1000 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1001 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1002 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1004 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1006 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1007 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1008 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1010 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1012 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1014 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1015 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1016 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1018 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1019 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1020 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1021 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1023 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1025 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1026 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1027 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1028 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1029 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1033 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1034 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1037 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1038 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1040 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1041 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1042 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1043 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1044 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1046 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1049 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1053 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1055 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1056 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1058 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1059 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1063 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1064 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1067 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1071 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1073 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1074 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1075 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1076 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1077 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1078 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1079 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1080 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1081 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1082 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1085 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1086 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1087 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1088 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1089 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1090 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1094 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1096 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1097 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1098 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1100 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1101 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1103 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1105 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1108 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1109 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1111 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1112 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1113 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1114 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1115 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1116 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1117 Most broken servers should now work.
1118 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1119 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1122 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1125 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1127 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1128 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1131 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1132 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1133 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1134 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1135 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1138 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1139 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1140 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
1141 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1142 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1145 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1146 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1148 *) Add support for SCTP.
1149 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1151 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1152 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1154 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1156 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1157 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1158 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1159 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1160 - s390x: z196 support;
1161 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1165 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1166 (removal of unnecessary code)
1167 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1169 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1172 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1175 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1176 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1177 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1179 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1181 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1182 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1183 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1184 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1185 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1187 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1188 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1189 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1191 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1192 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1193 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1195 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1196 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1198 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1200 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1201 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1202 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1205 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1206 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1210 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1211 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1212 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1215 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1216 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1217 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1218 the appropriate parameters.
1221 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1222 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1223 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1224 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1225 against a number of sample certificates.
1228 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
1229 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
1231 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
1232 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
1234 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
1235 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
1239 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
1243 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
1244 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
1245 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
1246 password based CMS).
1249 *) Session-handling fixes:
1250 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
1251 but also support Session Tickets.
1252 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
1253 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1254 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1255 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1256 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1257 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1259 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1262 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1264 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1267 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1268 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1269 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1270 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
1271 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1274 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1275 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1278 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1279 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1280 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1283 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1284 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
1285 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
1286 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1289 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1290 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1291 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1294 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1295 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1297 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1300 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1301 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1304 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1307 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1308 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1311 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1312 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1315 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1318 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1319 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1320 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1323 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1326 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1329 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1330 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1333 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1334 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1335 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1338 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1341 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1345 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1346 FIPS modules versions.
1349 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
1350 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
1351 until after the certificate request message is received.
1354 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
1355 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
1356 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
1357 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
1360 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
1361 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
1362 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
1363 support yet and no support for client certificates.
1366 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
1367 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
1368 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
1369 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
1370 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
1371 and version checking.
1374 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
1375 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
1376 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
1377 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
1381 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1383 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
1386 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
1387 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
1388 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1390 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
1391 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
1392 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
1395 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
1396 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1398 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1399 a few changes are required:
1401 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1402 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1403 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1404 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1405 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1408 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
1410 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1412 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1413 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1414 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1416 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1417 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1418 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1419 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1421 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1423 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1424 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1427 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1428 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1429 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1430 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1431 (This is a backport)
1432 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1434 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1437 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
1439 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
1442 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1445 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1446 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1450 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1451 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1454 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
1456 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1457 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1458 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1460 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1461 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1463 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1465 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1467 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1468 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1469 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1470 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1471 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1472 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1473 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1474 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1475 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1478 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1479 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1480 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1483 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1485 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1486 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1487 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1488 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1491 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1493 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1494 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1495 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1496 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1497 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1498 paper describing this attack can be found at:

1500 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1501 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1502 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1503 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1504 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1505 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1507 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1509 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1511 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1512 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1513 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1514 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1516 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1517 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1519 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1520 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1521 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1522 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1524 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1525 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1527 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1528 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1530 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1531 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1533 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1534 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1535 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1537 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1538 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1539 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1541 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1542 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1543 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1544 the last update always remained unused).
1545 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1547 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1548 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1550 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1552 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1553 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1554 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1556 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1557 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1558 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1560 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1563 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1564 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1565 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1568 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1569 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1571 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1573 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1575 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1577 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1578 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1580 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1581 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1585 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1587 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1588 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1589 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1592 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1593 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1594 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1597 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1599 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1600 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1601 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1604 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1608 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1610 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1612 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1614 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1616 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1617 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1618 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1621 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1624 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1625 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1626 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1628 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1629 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1630 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1633 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1634 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1637 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1638 some responders need this.
1641 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1643 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1645 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1646 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1647 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1650 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1653 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1654 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1655 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1656 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1657 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1658 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1659 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1660 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1663 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1664 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1665 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1666 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1668 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1669 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1671 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1675 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1676 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1677 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1678 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1679 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1680 attempting to work them out.
1683 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1684 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1685 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1686 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1689 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1690 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1691 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1692 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1693 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1696 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1697 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1704 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1706 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1710 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1711 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1713 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1714 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1716 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1717 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1718 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1719 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1720 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1723 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1724 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1725 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1728 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1729 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1732 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1733 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1735 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1736 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1739 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1742 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1743 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1744 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1748 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1749 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1750 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1751 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1752 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1753 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1756 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1757 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1759 This work was sponsored by Google.
1762 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1763 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1764 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1765 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1766 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1767 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1768 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1771 This work was sponsored by Google.
1774 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1776 This work was sponsored by Google.
1779 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1780 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1781 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1782 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1784 This work was sponsored by Google.
1787 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1788 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1789 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1790 CRL functionality in future.
1792 This work was sponsored by Google.
1795 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1797 This work was sponsored by Google.
1800 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1801 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1803 This work was sponsored by Google.
1806 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1807 and URI types are currently supported.
1809 This work was sponsored by Google.
1812 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1813 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1814 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1815 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1816 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1817 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1818 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1819 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1821 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1822 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1823 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1825 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1826 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1827 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1828 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1830 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1831 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1832 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1833 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1834 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1835 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1836 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1837 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1839 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1841 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1842 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1843 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1845 This work was sponsored by Google.
1848 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1851 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1852 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1853 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1856 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1857 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1860 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1861 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1864 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1865 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1866 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1867 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1868 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1869 content types and variants.
1872 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1875 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1876 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1877 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1878 files from the associated perl scripts.
1881 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1882 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1883 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1885 *) s390x assembler pack.
1888 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1892 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1893 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1894 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1895 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1896 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1897 to use. For example, specify an option
1899 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1901 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1902 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1903 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1904 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1905 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1906 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1908 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1909 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1910 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1911 return non-zero for success.
1913 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1916 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1917 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1921 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1924 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1925 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1926 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1927 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1928 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1929 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1930 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1931 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1932 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1934 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1935 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1936 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1937 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1938 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1939 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1941 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1942 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1943 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1944 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1945 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1946 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1950 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1953 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1955 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1956 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1957 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1960 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1961 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1964 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1965 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1966 with no application modification.
1968 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1969 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1971 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1972 or server extensions to be examined.
1974 This work was sponsored by Google.
1977 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1978 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1979 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1981 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1982 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1983 ciphersuite support.
1984 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1986 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1987 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1988 to output in BER and PEM format.
1991 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1992 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1993 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1994 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1995 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1998 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1999 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2000 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2004 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2005 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2006 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2007 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2008 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2009 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2010 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2011 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2014 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2015 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2016 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2017 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2019 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2020 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2021 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2025 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2026 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2027 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2028 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2029 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2030 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2031 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2032 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2033 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2035 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2036 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2037 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2038 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2039 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2040 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2041 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2042 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2043 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2044 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2045 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2048 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2049 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2050 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2052 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2053 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2057 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2058 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2059 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2062 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2063 it yet and it is largely untested.
2066 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2069 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2070 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2071 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2074 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2077 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2078 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2079 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2080 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2083 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2084 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2085 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2086 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2087 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2090 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2091 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2094 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2095 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2096 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2097 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2100 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2101 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2102 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2103 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2106 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2107 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2110 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2111 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2112 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2113 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2116 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2117 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2118 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2121 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2125 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2126 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2129 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2130 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2131 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2135 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2136 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2137 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2140 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2141 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2142 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2143 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2146 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2147 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2148 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2149 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2150 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2151 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2154 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2155 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2156 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2157 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2158 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2160 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2161 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2162 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2163 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2164 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2167 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2168 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2169 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2170 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2172 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2173 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2174 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2175 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2176 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2182 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2183 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2187 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2188 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2191 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2192 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2195 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2196 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2197 functional reference processing.
2200 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2201 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2205 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2206 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2207 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2210 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2211 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2212 application to support multiple signers.
2215 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2219 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2220 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2221 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2222 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2223 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2226 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2230 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2231 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2232 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2233 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2237 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2238 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2239 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2240 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
2241 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2242 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2243 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2244 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2247 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2248 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2249 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2250 between digests and public key types.
2253 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2254 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2255 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2256 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2259 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2260 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2264 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2267 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2271 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2272 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2273 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2274 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2279 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2281 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2283 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2285 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2286 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2287 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2288 functionality for RSA.
2291 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2292 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2293 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2296 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2297 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2300 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2301 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2302 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2305 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2306 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2309 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2310 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2313 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2314 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2318 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2319 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2320 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2324 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2325 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2326 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2327 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2328 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2329 of public and private key structures.
2332 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2333 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2336 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2337 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2338 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2341 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2345 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2346 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2347 SSL_get_psk_identity
2348 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2350 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2352 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2353 and response verification functionality.
2354 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2356 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2357 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2358 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2359 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2360 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2361 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2362 server_name extension.
2364 New functions (subject to change):
2366 SSL_get_servername()
2367 SSL_get_servername_type()
2370 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2372 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2373 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2374 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2375 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2376 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2378 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2380 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2381 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2382 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2383 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2384 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
2385 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2388 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2390 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2393 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2394 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2395 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2396 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2397 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2400 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2401 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
2405 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
2406 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
2407 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
2408 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
2411 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
2412 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
2413 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
2414 using the maximum available value.
2417 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
2418 in addition to the text details.
2421 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2422 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2423 handle several customised structures at all.
2426 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2427 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2428 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2431 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2434 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2435 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2436 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2439 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2440 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2441 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2444 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2445 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2449 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2452 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2455 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
2457 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2459 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2460 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2461 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2463 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2464 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2465 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2466 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2468 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2470 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2471 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2474 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2475 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2476 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2477 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2478 (This is a backport)
2479 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2481 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2484 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
2486 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
2489 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2490 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2494 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2495 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2498 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
2500 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
2501 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
2502 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
2503 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
2504 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2506 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
2508 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2509 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2510 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2512 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2513 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2515 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2517 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
2519 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2520 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2521 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2522 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2523 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2524 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2525 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2526 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2527 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2530 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2531 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2532 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2535 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
2537 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2538 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2539 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2540 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2543 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
2545 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2546 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2547 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against

2552 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2553 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2554 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann

2582 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2583 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2584 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2586 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2587 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2588 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2590 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2591 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2592 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2593 the last update always remained unused).

2677 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2679 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2680 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2681 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2682 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2683 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2684 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2685 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)

2688 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2689 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2690 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2692 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2694 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2695 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2697 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2698 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2701 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2702 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2703 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2706 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2707 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2708 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2709 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2710 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2711 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2714 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2715 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2716 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2719 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2720 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2721 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2722 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2723 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2724 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2728 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2729 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2732 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2733 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2734 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2737 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2740 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2741 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2742 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2743 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2744 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2745 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2746 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2747 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2748 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2751 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2752 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2753 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2756 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2757 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2760 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2761 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2762 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2763 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2764 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2765 know what you are doing.
2766 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2768 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2769 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2770 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2771 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2772 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2773 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2777 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2778 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2779 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2781 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2783 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2784 warnings in other configurations.
2787 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2788 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2789 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2791 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2793 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2794 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2795 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2797 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2798 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2799 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2800 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2803 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2807 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2808 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2810 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2812 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2813 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2814 other than a simple chain.
2815 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2817 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2818 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2819 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2820 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2823 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2824 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2825 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2826 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2827 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2828 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2829 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2830 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2831 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2833 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2834 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2835 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2836 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2837 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
2838 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2840 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2842 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2843 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2846 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.

2850 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2852 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2854 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2855 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2856 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2857 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2858 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2862 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2864 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2865 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2866 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2867 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2869 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2870 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2871 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2872 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2874 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2875 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2876 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2879 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2880 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2884 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2885 to handle some structures.
2888 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2890 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2892 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2895 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2898 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2901 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2902 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2906 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2908 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2910 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2912 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2915 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2916 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2917 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2918 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2920 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2921 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2923 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2924 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2927 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2928 s_client and s_server.
2931 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2932 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2934 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2935 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2937 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2938 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2939 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2940 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2941 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2944 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2946 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2947 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2950 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2951 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2954 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2955 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2956 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2957 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2959 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2960 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2962 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2964 *) Various precautionary measures:
2966 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2968 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2969 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2970 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2972 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2973 outside the expected range.
2975 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2978 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2980 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2981 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2982 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2984 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2987 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2990 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2992 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2995 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2996 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2997 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2999 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3002 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3003 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3004 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3008 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3010 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3011 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3012 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3013 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3015 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3016 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3019 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3021 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3022 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3023 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3025 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3027 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3028 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3029 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3030 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3033 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3034 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3035 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3036 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3037 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3038 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3039 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3041 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3043 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3044 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3045 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3046 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3047 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3049 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3050 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3052 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3053 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3054 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3055 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3056 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3058 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3060 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3061 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3062 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3063 sets may exist with different names.
3066 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3067 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3068 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3069 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3070 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3071 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3072 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3073 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3074 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3076 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3078 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3079 implemention in the following ways:
3081 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3084 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3085 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3086 ignored for embedded content.
3088 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3089 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3092 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3093 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3094 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3095 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3097 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3098 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3101 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3102 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3105 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3106 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3107 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3108 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3109 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3110 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3114 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3115 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.

3129 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3130 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3131 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3132 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3133 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3134 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3135 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3137 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3138 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3139 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3140 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3141 to s_client and s_server.
3144 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3146 *) Fix various bugs:
3147 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3148 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3149 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3150 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3151 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3153 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3155 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3156 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3157 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3158 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3159 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3160 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3161 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3162 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3165 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3166 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3167 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3170 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3171 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3172 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3175 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3176 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3179 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3180 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3181 with no application modification.
3183 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3184 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3186 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3187 or server extensions to be examined.
3189 This work was sponsored by Google.
3192 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3193 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3194 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3195 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3196 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3197 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3198 server_name extension.
3200 New functions (subject to change):
3202 SSL_get_servername()
3203 SSL_get_servername_type()
3206 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3208 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3209 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3210 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3211 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3212 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3214 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3216 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3217 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3218 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3219 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3220 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3221 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3224 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3226 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3229 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3232 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3233 (which previously caused an internal error).
3236 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3239 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3240 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3242 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3243 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3244 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3246 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3247 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3248 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3249 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3251 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3252 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3253 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3254 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3256 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3257 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3258 information. For detailed background information, see
3259 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3260 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3261 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3262 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3263 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3264 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3265 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3266 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3267 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3268 remove a conditional branch.
3270 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3271 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3272 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3273 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3274 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3275 remains as a deprecated alias.
3277 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3278 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3279 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3280 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3282 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3283 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3284 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3285 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3286 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3287 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3288 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3289 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3291 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3293 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3294 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3295 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3296 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3297 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3298 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3299 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3300 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3301 in a different context.
3304 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3305 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3306 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3309 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3310 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3311 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3313 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3315 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3316 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3317 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3318 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3319 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3322 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3323 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3324 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3325 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3326 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3327 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3330 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3331 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3332 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3333 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3334 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3337 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3338 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3340 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3341 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3342 Improve header file function name parsing.
3345 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3346 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3349 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3351 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3352 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3353 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3355 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3356 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3358 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3359 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3361 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3362 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3363 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3365 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3366 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3367 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3368 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3369 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3370 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3371 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3372 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3373 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3375 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3376 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3377 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3378 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3379 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3381 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3382 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3383 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3384 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3385 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3386 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3387 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3388 multiple values to extend the available space.
3392 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3394 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3395 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3397 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3400 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3401 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3402 undesirable limitations.
3403 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3405 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3406 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3407 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3408 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3409 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3410 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3411 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3414 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3416 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3417 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3418 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3420 The latter two were purportedly from
3421 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3424 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3425 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3426 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3429 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3430 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3433 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3434 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3435 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3436 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3438 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3439 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3440 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3443 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3444 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3445 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3446 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3447 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3448 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3451 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3453 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3454 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3457 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3458 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3460 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3461 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3462 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3463 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3466 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3467 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3470 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3471 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3472 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3473 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3474 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3475 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3476 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3480 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3481 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3482 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3483 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3486 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3487 under VC++ build system.
3490 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3491 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3494 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3496 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3497 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3498 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3499 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3500 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3502 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3503 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3504 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3506 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3509 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3510 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3513 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3514 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3516 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3519 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3520 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3522 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3523 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3526 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3527 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3531 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3533 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3536 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3539 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3540 key into the same file any more.
3543 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3546 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3547 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3549 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3550 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3553 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3554 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3555 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3556 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3557 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3558 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3560 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3561 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3562 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3565 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3566 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3567 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3568 - add new function for parameter creation
3569 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3570 BN_BLINDING parameters
3571 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3572 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3573 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3577 *) Add support for DTLS.
3578 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3580 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3581 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3584 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
3585 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3588 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3589 the apps/openssl applications.
3592 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3593 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3594 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3597 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3598 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3600 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3601 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3603 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3604 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3605 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3606 avoid this algorithm.)
3610 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3611 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3612 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3615 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3616 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3619 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3620 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3621 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3624 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3626 The blank line is mandatory.
3630 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3631 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3635 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3636 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3638 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3639 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3640 to support policy checking and print out.
3643 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3644 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3645 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3646 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3648 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3651 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3652 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3654 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3655 implementation contributed by IBM.
3656 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3658 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3659 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3660 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3661 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3663 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3664 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3666 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3667 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3668 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3669 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3670 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3671 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3674 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3675 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3676 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3677 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3678 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3679 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3680 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3683 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3686 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3687 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3688 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3689 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3690 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3691 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3692 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3693 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3696 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3697 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3698 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3699 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3702 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3705 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3708 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3709 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3710 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3711 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3712 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3713 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3714 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3717 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3718 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3721 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3722 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3723 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3726 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3727 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3728 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3732 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3733 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3736 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3737 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3738 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3739 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3742 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3743 initialised value as BN_new().
3744 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3746 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3749 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3750 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3751 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3752 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3753 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3754 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3755 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3756 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3757 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3758 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3759 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3760 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3761 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3762 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3763 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3765 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3766 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3767 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3768 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3771 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3772 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3773 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3774 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3775 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3776 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3777 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3778 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3779 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3782 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3783 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3784 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3785 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3786 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3787 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3788 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3791 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3792 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3793 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3794 these have been updated also.
3797 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3798 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3799 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3800 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3801 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3805 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3806 structure of type "other".
3809 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3810 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3811 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3812 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3813 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3814 situation in the script.
3815 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3817 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3818 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3819 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3820 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3821 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3822 used as premaster secret.
3823 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3825 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3826 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3827 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3829 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3830 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3832 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3833 control of the error stack.
3836 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3839 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3840 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3841 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3842 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3845 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3846 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3847 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3850 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3851 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3852 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3856 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3857 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3858 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3859 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3862 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3863 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3864 the following flags are defined:
3866 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3867 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3868 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3871 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3872 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3873 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3874 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3878 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3879 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3880 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3881 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3882 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3885 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3886 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3887 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3890 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3891 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3892 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3893 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3894 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3895 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3898 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3902 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3905 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3908 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3911 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3912 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3913 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3914 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3915 default implementation more easily.
3918 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3922 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3923 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3926 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3927 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3928 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3929 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3931 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3932 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3933 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3934 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3937 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3938 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3942 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3943 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3944 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3945 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3946 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3947 scalar * generator).
3948 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3950 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3951 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3952 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3956 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3957 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3958 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3959 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3960 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3961 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3962 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3963 linker additions, eg;
3964 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3967 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3968 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3969 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3972 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3973 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3974 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3978 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3979 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3980 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3981 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3984 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3985 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3986 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3987 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3988 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3989 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3990 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3991 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3992 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3993 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3995 Example for using the new callback interface:
3997 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4001 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4003 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4004 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4005 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4006 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4007 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4008 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4013 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4014 available to TLS with the number defined in
4015 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4018 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4019 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4021 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4022 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4023 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4024 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4026 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4027 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4029 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4030 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4034 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4035 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4038 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4039 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4040 and a macro that behave like
4041 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4043 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
4046 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
4047 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
4048 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
4050 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4052 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4055 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4056 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4057 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4058 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4060 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4061 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4062 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4063 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4064 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4065 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4066 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4067 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4069 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4070 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
4073 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4074 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4076 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4077 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4078 files while avoiding the low level API.
4080 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4081 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4082 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4083 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4085 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4086 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4087 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4088 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4089 instead of the low level API.
4092 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4093 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4094 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4095 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4096 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4099 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4100 down to the template encoder.
4103 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4104 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4107 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4108 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4109 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4110 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4112 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4113 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4115 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4116 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4118 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4119 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4122 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4123 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4124 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4127 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4128 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4130 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4131 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4133 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
4134 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
4137 EC_GF2m_simple_method
4141 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
4142 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
4143 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
4144 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4145 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4146 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
4148 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
4149 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
4152 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
4153 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
4154 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
4155 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
4156 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
4157 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
4158 various internal method names.)
4160 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
4161 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
4163 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4164 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4166 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
4167 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
4169 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
4170 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
4171 methods are undefined.
4173 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4174 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4176 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
4177 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
4178 length of the modulus.
4180 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4181 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4183 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
4184 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
4186 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4187 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4189 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
4190 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
4191 used) in the following functions [macros]:
4194 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
4195 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
4196 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
4197 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
4199 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
4200 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
4201 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
4202 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
4204 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
4205 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
4207 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
4208 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
4209 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
4210 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
4211 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
4213 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
4214 This applies to the following functions:
4219 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
4220 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
4222 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
4223 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
4227 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
4232 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
4234 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
4235 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
4236 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
4237 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
4238 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
4240 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4241 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4243 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
4244 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
4245 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
4247 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
4248 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
4250 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
4251 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
4252 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
4253 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
4254 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4256 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
4258 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
4259 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
4260 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
4261 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
4262 These control ASN1 encoding details:
4263 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
4264 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
4265 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
4266 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
4267 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
4268 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
4269 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
4271 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
4274 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4275 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4276 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4277 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4279 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4280 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4281 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.

4289 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4290 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4291 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4293 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4294 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4295 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4296 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4297 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4298 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4299 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4300 adding different types of curves.
4301 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4303 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4304 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4305 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4308 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4309 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4311 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4312 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4313 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4314 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4316 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4318 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4319 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4321 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4322 library. Most notably,
4323 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4324 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4325 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4326 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4327 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4328 extracted before the specific public key;
4329 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4330 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4332 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4333 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4335 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4336 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4337 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4338 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4340 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4341 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4342 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4344 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4345 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4346 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4347 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4348 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4349 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4353 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4355 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4357 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4359 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4360 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4361 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4364 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4365 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4366 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4369 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4372 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4373 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4376 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4377 run algorithm test programs.
4380 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4383 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4384 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4385 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4386 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4387 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4390 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4391 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4394 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4396 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4397 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4398 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4400 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4401 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4403 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4404 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4406 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4407 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4408 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4410 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4411 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4412 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4413 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4414 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4415 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4416 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4419 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4421 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4422 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4424 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4425 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4426 undesirable limitations.
4427 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4429 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4431 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4432 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4433 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4435 The latter two were purportedly from
4436 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4439 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4440 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4441 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4444 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4445 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4448 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4450 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4451 module in FIPS mode.
4454 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4457 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4458 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4459 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4460 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4463 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4465 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4466 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4467 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4468 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4469 the difference induced by this change.
4472 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4474 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4475 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4476 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4477 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4478 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4480 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4481 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4482 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4484 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4485 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4488 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4489 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4490 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4491 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4495 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4496 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4497 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4498 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4499 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4501 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4502 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4503 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4504 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4505 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4506 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4508 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4510 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4511 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4512 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4513 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4514 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4517 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4521 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4522 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4523 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4526 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4527 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4528 structures constant.
4531 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4533 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4536 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4537 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4538 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4539 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4540 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4541 some needed definitions.
4544 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4547 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4548 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4549 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4550 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4553 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4555 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4556 server and client random values. Previously
4557 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4558 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4560 This change has negligible security impact because:
4562 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4565 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4568 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4569 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4572 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4575 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4577 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4580 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4581 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4582 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4584 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4587 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4588 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4591 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4592 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4593 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4595 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4598 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4599 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4600 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4604 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4605 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4606 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4607 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4609 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4610 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4611 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4612 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4616 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4618 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4619 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4620 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4621 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4622 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4625 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4628 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4629 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4631 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4632 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4633 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4634 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4635 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4636 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4637 rather than being initialized to 1.
4640 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4642 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4643 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4644 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4646 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4648 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4650 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4651 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4652 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4653 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4654 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4655 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4658 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4659 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4660 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4661 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4662 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4666 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4667 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4668 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4669 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4670 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4673 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4674 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4675 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4679 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4680 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4682 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4685 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4687 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4689 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4690 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4692 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4694 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4695 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4699 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4700 exiting on the first error in a request.
4703 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4704 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4708 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4709 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4710 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4711 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4713 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4714 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4717 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4718 blocks during encryption.
4721 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4722 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4723 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4724 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4728 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4729 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4730 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4731 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4732 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4736 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4738 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4739 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4740 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4741 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4744 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4745 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4746 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4747 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4748 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4750 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4751 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4752 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4753 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4754 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4755 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4756 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4757 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4758 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4761 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4762 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4763 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4764 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4767 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4768 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4771 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4773 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4774 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
4775 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4776 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4777 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4779 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4780 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4781 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4783 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4784 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4785 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4786 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4787 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4789 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4790 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4791 used by default when no-err is given.
4794 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4795 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4797 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4798 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4799 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4800 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4801 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4803 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4804 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4805 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4806 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4808 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4810 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4812 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4814 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4815 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4816 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4817 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4821 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4822 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4824 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4825 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4828 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4829 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4830 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4831 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4834 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4835 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4836 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4837 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4838 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4839 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4840 followup to PR #377.
4843 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4844 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4847 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4848 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4849 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

4866 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
4867 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
4871 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4872 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4873 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4874 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4875 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4876 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4878 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4879 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4880 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4881 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4882 have to be made anyway).
4885 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4886 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4887 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4890 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4891 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4892 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4895 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4896 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4897 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4899 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4900 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4901 edit numbers of the version.
4902 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4904 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
4905 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4906 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4908 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4909 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4911 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4912 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4913 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4915 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4916 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4918 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4919 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4921 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4922 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4924 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4925 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4927 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4929 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4931 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4932 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4933 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4935 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4936 representations in a platform independent manner.
4937 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4939 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4940 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4941 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4943 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4945 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4947 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4948 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4950 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4952 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4954 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4955 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4956 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4958 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4960 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4962 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4963 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4965 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4966 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4968 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4969 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4971 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4972 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4974 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4976 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4978 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4979 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4981 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4982 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4984 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4985 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4987 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4989 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4990 the 0.9.6 release series:
4992 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4993 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4995 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4997 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
5000 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
5001 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
5003 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
5004 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
5006 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
5007 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
5008 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
5009 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
5011 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
5012 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
5013 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
5015 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
5016 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
5017 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
5018 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5020 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
5021 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
5022 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
5025 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
5026 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
5027 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
5028 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5029 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5030 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
5031 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
5032 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
5035 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
5036 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
5037 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
5040 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
5041 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
5042 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
5043 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
5044 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
5046 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
5047 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
5049 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
5050 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5053 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5054 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5055 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5056 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5057 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5058 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5061 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5062 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5063 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5066 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5067 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5070 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5071 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5072 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5073 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5074 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5075 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5076 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5079 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5080 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5081 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5082 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5083 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5084 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5087 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5088 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5089 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5090 declaration has been changed from
5093 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5094 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5095 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5096 has been changed into
5097 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5099 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5100 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5101 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5103 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5104 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5106 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5107 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5108 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5109 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5110 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5111 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5112 always load it have also been added.
5115 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5116 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5117 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5119 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5121 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5122 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5123 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5125 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5126 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5127 command line option can be used to specify an
5131 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
5132 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
5135 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
5136 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
5137 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
5140 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
5141 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5142 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
5143 to work with the new engine framework.
5144 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
5146 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
5147 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5148 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
5149 to work with the new engine framework.
5152 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
5153 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
5154 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
5156 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
5157 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
5159 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
5160 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
5161 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
5162 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
5164 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5166 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5167 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5169 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
5170 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
5172 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
5173 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
5174 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
5177 *) Add new functions
5179 ERR_peek_last_error_line
5180 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
5181 These are similar to
5184 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
5185 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
5186 still in the error queue.
5187 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
5189 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
5191 default_algorithms = ALL
5192 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
5195 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
5198 *) New experimental application configuration code.
5201 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
5202 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
5203 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
5204 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5206 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
5207 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
5209 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
5210 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5212 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
5213 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
5216 *) New functions/macros
5218 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
5219 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
5220 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
5221 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
5223 to request calling a callback function
5225 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
5226 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
5228 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
5229 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
5230 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
5231 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
5232 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
5233 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
5234 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
5235 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
5236 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
5237 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
5239 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
5240 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
5243 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
5244 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
5245 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
5246 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
5247 the configuration scripts.
5249 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
5250 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
5251 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
5253 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
5254 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5256 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
5257 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
5258 when reusing an existing buffer.
5261 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
5262 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
5265 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
5266 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
5269 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
5270 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
5271 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
5272 has the same effect.
5273 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5275 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5276 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5277 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5278 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5279 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5280 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5283 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5284 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5285 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5286 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5288 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5289 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5290 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5291 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5293 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5294 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5297 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5298 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5299 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5300 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5301 default), and then completely removed.
5304 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5305 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5306 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5307 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5308 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5309 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5310 particular extension is supported.
5313 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5314 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5317 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5318 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5319 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5320 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5321 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5322 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5323 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5324 requires the destination to be valid.
5326 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5327 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5330 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5331 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5332 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5335 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5336 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5338 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5339 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5340 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5341 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5342 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5343 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5344 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5345 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5346 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5347 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5348 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5349 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5350 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5351 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5352 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5353 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5354 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5355 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5356 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5360 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5363 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5364 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5365 become part of libeay.num as well.
5368 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5369 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5370 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
5371 false once a handshake has been completed.
5372 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5373 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5374 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5375 client has followed the request.)
5378 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5379 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5380 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5381 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5383 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5384 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5385 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5388 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5391 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5392 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5393 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5396 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5397 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5400 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5401 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5402 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5403 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5406 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5407 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5408 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5409 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5410 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5411 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5414 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5415 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5416 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5417 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5418 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5419 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5420 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5421 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5424 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5425 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5428 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5431 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5432 md_data void pointer.
5435 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5436 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5437 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5438 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5439 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5440 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5443 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5444 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5445 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5446 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5447 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5448 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5449 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5450 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5451 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5452 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5453 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5454 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5455 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5456 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5457 rather than letting it slide.
5459 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5460 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5461 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5464 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5465 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5466 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5467 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5468 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5469 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5470 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5471 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5472 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5475 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5476 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5477 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5478 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5479 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5481 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5484 *) Add EVP test program.
5487 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5490 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5491 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5492 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5493 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5494 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5497 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5498 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5499 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5500 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5501 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5502 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5503 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5505 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5506 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5507 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5512 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5513 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5514 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5515 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5516 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5520 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5521 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5522 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5523 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5526 des_key_schedule ks;
5528 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5529 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5531 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5534 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5535 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5536 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5537 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5538 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5539 functions prevents this.
5542 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5545 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5546 correct _ecb suffix.
5549 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5550 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5551 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5552 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5553 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5556 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5559 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5560 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5561 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5562 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5564 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5565 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5567 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5568 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5569 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5570 via Richard Levitte]
5572 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5573 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5574 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5575 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5578 *) Speed up EVP routines.
5581 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

5596 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5597 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5599 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5600 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5601 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5602 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5603 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5604 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5607 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5608 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5611 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5612 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5613 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5614 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5616 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5617 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5618 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5619 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5620 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5621 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5625 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5626 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5627 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5628 and interrupts/cancellations.
5631 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5632 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5635 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5636 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5637 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5639 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5640 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5644 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5645 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5646 than this minimum value is recommended.
5649 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5650 that are easily reachable.
5653 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5654 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5656 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5658 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5659 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5660 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5661 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5664 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5665 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5666 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5669 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5670 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5671 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5672 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5673 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5674 internally such as S/MIME.
5676 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5677 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5678 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5680 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5684 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5685 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5686 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5687 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5689 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5691 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5693 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5694 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5695 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5699 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5700 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5701 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5702 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5703 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5704 a window system and the like.
5707 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5708 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5711 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5712 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5713 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5714 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5715 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5716 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5717 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5718 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5719 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5723 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5724 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5728 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5729 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5730 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5731 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5732 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5733 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5734 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5735 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5738 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5739 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5740 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5741 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5742 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5743 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5744 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5745 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5746 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5747 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5748 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5749 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5750 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5751 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5752 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5753 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5754 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5757 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5758 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5759 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5760 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5761 internal engine_int.h header.
5764 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5765 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5766 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5767 modify their own ones).
5770 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5771 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5772 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5773 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5774 later on via ctrl() commands.
5775 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5776 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5777 structural references.
5778 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5779 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5780 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5781 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5782 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5783 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5784 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5785 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5786 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5787 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5788 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5789 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5792 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5793 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5794 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5795 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5796 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5797 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5798 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5799 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5802 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5803 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5806 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5807 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5810 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5811 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5812 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5813 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5814 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5815 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5816 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5819 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5820 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5821 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5822 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5823 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5825 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5826 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5830 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5832 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5833 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5834 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5836 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5837 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5839 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5840 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5841 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5843 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5844 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5846 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5847 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5849 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5851 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5852 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5853 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5856 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5857 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5860 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5861 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5862 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5863 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5864 is 40 of more characters long.
5867 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5868 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5872 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5873 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5876 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5877 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5881 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5883 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5884 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5887 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5889 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5890 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5891 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5893 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5894 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5896 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5899 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5903 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5904 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5905 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5906 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5908 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5910 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5911 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5913 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5914 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5915 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5916 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5917 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5918 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5920 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5921 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5923 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5924 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5926 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5927 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5929 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5930 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5931 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5932 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5934 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5935 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5937 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5938 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5940 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5941 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5942 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5943 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5944 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5947 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5948 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5949 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5950 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5953 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5954 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5955 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5959 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5960 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5961 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5962 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5963 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5964 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5965 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5966 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5970 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5971 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5974 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5975 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5976 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5977 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5980 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5981 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5982 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5983 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5984 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5985 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5986 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5987 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5988 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5989 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5992 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5993 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5994 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5995 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5996 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5997 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5998 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5999 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6001 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
6002 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
6003 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
6004 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
6007 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
6008 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
6009 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
6010 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
6012 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
6013 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
6014 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
6015 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
6016 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
6020 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
6021 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
6022 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
6023 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
6027 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
6028 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
6029 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
6032 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
6033 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
6034 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
6035 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
6036 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
6039 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
6042 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
6043 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
6044 option to ocsp utility.
6047 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
6048 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
6049 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
6050 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
6051 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
6052 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6053 the request is nonce-less.
6056 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6057 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6058 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6061 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6062 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6063 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6066 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6067 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6068 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6069 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6070 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6073 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6074 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6078 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6079 additional certificates supplied.
6082 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6083 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6087 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6088 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6091 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6092 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6093 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6094 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6095 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6096 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6097 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6098 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6099 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6101 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6102 request to response.
6105 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6106 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6107 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6108 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6109 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6110 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6111 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6112 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6113 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6114 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6115 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6118 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6119 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6120 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6121 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6124 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6125 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6127 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6128 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6129 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
6132 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
6133 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
6134 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
6135 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6136 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6138 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
6139 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
6140 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
6143 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
6144 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
6145 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
6146 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
6147 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
6148 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
6149 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6150 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6152 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
6153 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
6154 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
6155 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
6156 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
6157 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
6160 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
6161 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
6162 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
6163 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
6164 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
6165 printout format cleaned up.
6168 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
6169 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
6170 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
6171 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
6172 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
6173 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
6174 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
6175 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
6178 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
6179 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
6180 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
6181 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
6182 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
6183 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
6184 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
6185 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
6188 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
6189 extensions from a separate configuration file.
6190 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
6191 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
6193 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6195 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
6196 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
6197 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
6198 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
6201 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
6202 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
6203 the given serial number (according to the index file).
6204 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
6206 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6208 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
6209 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
6210 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
6211 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6213 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
6214 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
6216 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
6217 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
6218 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
6221 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
6222 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
6223 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
6226 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
6227 file name and line number information in additional arguments
6228 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
6229 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
6230 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
6231 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
6232 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
6233 functions are provided:
6235 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
6236 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
6237 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
6238 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
6240 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
6241 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
6242 extended allocation function is enabled.
6243 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
6244 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
6245 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
6247 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
6248 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
6249 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
6250 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
6251 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
6254 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
6255 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
6256 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
6258 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
6259 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
6260 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
6263 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
6264 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
6265 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
6266 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
6267 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
6268 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
6269 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
6270 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
6271 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
6274 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6275 provide utility functions which an application needing
6276 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6277 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6278 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6280 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6281 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6282 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6283 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6284 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6285 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6286 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6287 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6288 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6290 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6291 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6292 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6293 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6296 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6297 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6298 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6299 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6300 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6301 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6302 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6303 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6304 will be added elsewhere.
6307 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6308 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6309 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6310 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6313 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6314 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6315 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6316 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6317 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6318 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6319 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6320 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6321 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6322 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6323 to produce the required SET OF.
6326 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6327 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6328 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6331 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6332 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6333 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6334 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6335 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6336 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6339 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6340 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6341 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6344 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6345 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6346 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6349 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6350 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6351 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6352 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6353 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6356 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6357 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6360 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6361 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6362 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6363 certifcates and CRLs.
6366 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6367 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6368 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6371 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
6372 entries for variables.
6375 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6376 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6377 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6378 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6381 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6382 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6383 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6384 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6385 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6386 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6389 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6390 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6392 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6393 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6394 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6397 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6401 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6402 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6403 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6404 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6405 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6406 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6409 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6412 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6413 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6414 for now but they will eventually go away.
6417 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6418 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6419 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6420 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6421 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6422 has also been converted to the new form.
6425 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6426 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6427 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6428 for negative moduli.
6431 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6432 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6435 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6439 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6440 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6441 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6442 type-specific callbacks.
6445 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6447 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6448 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6450 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6451 in sections depending on the subject.
6454 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6458 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6459 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6460 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6461 be handled deterministically).
6462 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6464 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6465 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6466 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6469 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6472 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6473 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6474 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6475 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6476 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6479 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6480 sign of the number in question.
6482 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6484 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6485 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6486 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6487 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6488 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6491 *) New function BN_swap.
6494 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6495 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6496 results on negative inputs.
6499 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6500 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6501 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6504 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6505 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6506 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6507 and add new functions:
6516 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6520 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6522 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6523 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6525 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6526 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6527 be reduced modulo m.
6528 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6531 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
6532 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6533 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6535 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6536 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6537 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6538 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6539 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6540 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6545 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6546 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6547 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6548 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6549 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6551 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6552 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6553 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6557 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6560 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6561 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6564 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6565 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6566 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6567 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6571 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6574 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6577 *) Add the following functions:
6579 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6581 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6583 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6585 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6586 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6587 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6588 libraries unless it's really needed.
6590 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6591 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6592 declarations (they differed!).
6595 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6598 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6601 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6604 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6605 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6608 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6609 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6610 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6612 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6613 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6616 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6619 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6622 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6625 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6626 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6627 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6629 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6630 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6631 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6632 different shared library filenames on each system.
6635 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6638 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6639 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6640 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6642 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6645 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6646 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6647 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6648 binary backward compatibility.
6649 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6650 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6651 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6655 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6656 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6657 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6658 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6662 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6665 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6666 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6667 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6668 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6672 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6675 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6677 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6678 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6679 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6681 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6683 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6685 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6686 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6689 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6691 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6693 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6694 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6696 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6697 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6701 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6702 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6706 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6707 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6708 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6709 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6711 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6712 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6715 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6717 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6718 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6719 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6720 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6723 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6724 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6725 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6726 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6727 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6729 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6730 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6731 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6732 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6733 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6734 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6735 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6736 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6737 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6740 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6742 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6743 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6744 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6745 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6746 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6748 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6749 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6750 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6752 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6754 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6755 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6756 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6757 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6758 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6759 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6762 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6763 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6764 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6765 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6766 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6769 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6770 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6771 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6773 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6774 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6775 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6779 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6780 being properly terminated.
6783 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6784 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6785 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6786 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6788 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6789 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6790 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6791 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6792 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6793 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6794 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6796 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6798 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6799 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6802 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6803 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6804 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6805 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6806 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6807 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6808 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6809 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6811 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6812 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6813 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6814 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6815 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6817 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6818 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6821 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6823 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6824 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6825 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6827 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6829 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6830 and get fix the header length calculation.
6831 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6832 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6835 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6836 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6837 assertions could call abort()).
6838 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6840 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6842 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6843 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6844 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6846 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6848 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6849 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6850 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6853 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6857 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6858 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6859 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6861 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6862 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6863 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6864 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6865 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6869 *) Changes in security patch:
6871 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6872 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6873 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6876 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6877 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6878 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6879 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6880 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6882 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6884 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6886 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6887 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6888 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6890 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6891 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6892 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6894 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6895 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6896 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6898 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6900 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6901 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6902 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6904 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6905 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6907 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6908 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6909 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6910 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6911 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6912 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6915 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6916 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6917 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6918 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6921 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6924 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6925 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6926 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6927 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6928 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6929 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6931 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6932 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6933 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6934 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6935 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6938 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6939 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6940 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6941 BN_generate_prime().)
6943 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6944 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6945 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6949 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6950 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6953 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6954 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6955 when using non-blocking I/O.
6956 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6958 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6959 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6961 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6962 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6965 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6966 configuration for the versions before that.
6967 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6969 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6970 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6971 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6972 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6975 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6976 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6977 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6980 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6984 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6985 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6986 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6988 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6989 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6991 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6992 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6993 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6994 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6995 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6996 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6997 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
7000 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
7001 using a local variable.
7002 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7004 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
7005 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
7006 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7008 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
7011 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
7012 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
7014 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
7015 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
7016 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
7018 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
7020 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
7021 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
7022 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
7023 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
7026 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
7030 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
7031 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
7032 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
7033 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
7034 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
7036 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
7037 returns early because it has nothing to do.
7038 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7040 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7041 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
7042 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7044 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7045 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
7046 (Use engine 'keyclient')
7047 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
7049 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
7050 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
7051 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
7053 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
7055 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7056 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
7058 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
7060 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7061 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
7062 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7063 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7065 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7066 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7067 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7068 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7070 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7071 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7073 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7074 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7075 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7078 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7079 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7080 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7082 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7084 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7085 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7086 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7087 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7088 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7089 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7090 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7093 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7094 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7095 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7096 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7098 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7099 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7100 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7101 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7102 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7103 the client will at least see that alert.
7106 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7110 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
7111 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
7112 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7114 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
7115 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
7116 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
7117 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
7120 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
7121 before just sending a HelloRequest.
7122 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
7124 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
7125 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
7126 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
7127 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
7128 may leak via logfiles.)
7130 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
7131 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
7132 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
7133 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
7137 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
7138 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7141 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
7142 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
7143 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
7144 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
7145 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
7148 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
7149 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
7151 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
7152 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
7153 followed by modular reduction.
7154 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
7156 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
7157 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
7160 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
7161 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
7162 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
7163 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
7166 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
7169 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
7170 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
7173 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
7174 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
7175 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
7176 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
7177 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
7178 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
7180 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
7182 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
7183 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
7184 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
7185 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
7186 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
7188 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
7191 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
7192 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
7193 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
7194 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
7195 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
7196 to allow the necessary settings.
7199 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
7200 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
7201 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
7202 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
7205 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
7206 dh->length and always used
7208 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
7210 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
7211 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
7212 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
7213 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
7214 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
7219 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
7221 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
7227 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
7228 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
7229 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
7230 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
7232 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
7233 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
7234 always reject numbers >= n.
7237 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
7238 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
7239 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
7240 variable) is not atomic.
7243 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
7244 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
7245 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
7246 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
7248 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
7249 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
7251 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
7253 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
7255 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
7258 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
7260 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
7261 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
7262 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
7263 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
7264 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
7265 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
7266 to traverse all of 'state'.
7268 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
7269 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
7270 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
7272 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
7273 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
7275 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
7276 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
7277 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7278 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7279 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7280 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7281 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7282 further strengthens the PRNG.
7285 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7288 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7289 an error message in this case.
7292 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7295 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7296 positive and less than q.
7299 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7300 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7302 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7304 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7305 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7309 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7311 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7312 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7313 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7314 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7315 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7316 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7317 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7320 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7321 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7322 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7323 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7325 Both problems are now fixed.
7328 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7329 (previously it was 1024).
7332 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7333 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7336 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7339 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7340 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7341 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7344 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7345 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7346 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7347 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7348 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7349 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7350 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7351 environment variables.
7353 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7354 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7355 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7358 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7359 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7360 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7361 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7362 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7363 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7366 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7370 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7372 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7373 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7375 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7376 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7377 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7378 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7382 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7383 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7384 amount of data available.
7385 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7386 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7388 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7389 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7390 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7391 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7394 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7395 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7399 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7400 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7401 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7402 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7405 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7408 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7411 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7412 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7414 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7416 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7417 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7418 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7419 (but broken) behaviour.
7422 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7424 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7426 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7427 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7430 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7434 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7435 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7437 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7440 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7441 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7442 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7444 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7445 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7446 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7449 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7450 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7453 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7454 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7456 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7458 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7460 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7461 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7462 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7463 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7466 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7469 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7470 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7471 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7473 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7476 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7478 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7479 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7480 but the code is actually correct.
7483 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7484 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7485 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7486 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7487 and leaves the highest bit random.
7488 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7490 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7491 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7492 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7493 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7494 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7495 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7496 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7499 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7502 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7503 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7506 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7507 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7508 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7509 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7513 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7514 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7515 and break the signature.
7517 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7519 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7523 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7524 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7525 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7526 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7527 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7530 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7531 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7533 *) ./config script fixes.
7534 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7536 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7539 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7540 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7541 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7542 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7543 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7545 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7546 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7549 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7550 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7553 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7554 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7555 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7556 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7558 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7559 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7561 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7562 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7563 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7564 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7565 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7567 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7570 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7573 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7576 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7579 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7580 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7583 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7584 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7585 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7586 result of the server certificate verification.)
7589 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7590 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7591 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7595 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7596 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7597 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7598 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7599 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7600 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7601 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7602 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7605 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7606 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7607 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7608 happening the other way round.
7611 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7612 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7615 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7616 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7617 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7618 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7621 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7622 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7624 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7626 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7627 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7628 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7631 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7633 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7635 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7639 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7641 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7642 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7643 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7644 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7645 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7647 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7648 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7652 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7655 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7657 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7658 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7659 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7660 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7661 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7662 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7663 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7664 by the Finished messages.
7667 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7668 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7670 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7671 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7672 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7673 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7674 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7678 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7679 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7680 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7681 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7682 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7683 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7684 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7685 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7686 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7690 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7691 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7692 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7693 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7695 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7696 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7697 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7698 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7699 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7702 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7703 been tested well enough.
7706 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7707 it can return incorrect results.
7708 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7709 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7712 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7713 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7714 include zero length content when signing messages.
7717 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7718 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7721 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7724 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7728 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7729 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7730 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7731 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7732 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7733 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7736 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7737 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7739 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7740 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7742 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7743 random number < q in the DSA library.
7746 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7747 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7748 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7749 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7750 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7751 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7752 just makes things more complicated.)
7755 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7759 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7760 work better on such systems.
7761 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7763 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7764 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7765 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7768 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7769 if there was more than one signature.
7770 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7772 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7773 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
7774 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7775 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7778 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7779 rather than always using the current time.
7782 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7783 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7784 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7785 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7786 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7787 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7789 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7790 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7792 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7794 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7795 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7796 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7797 the same hash value.
7799 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7800 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7801 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7802 with X509_STORE internally.
7804 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7805 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7807 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7808 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7809 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7810 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7811 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7812 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7813 entirely (maybe later...).
7815 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7817 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7818 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7819 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7820 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7821 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7822 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7823 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7824 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7826 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7827 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7829 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7830 to customise the verify behaviour.
7833 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7834 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7837 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7838 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7839 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7840 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7841 request is improperly encoded.
7844 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7845 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7848 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7849 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7851 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7852 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7856 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7857 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7858 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7861 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7862 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7863 BIO/fp routines also added.
7866 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7867 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7869 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7870 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7871 demos/state_machine.
7874 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7875 generation and verification.
7878 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7879 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7880 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7881 encode and decode it manually.
7884 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7886 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7888 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7889 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7890 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7891 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7893 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7894 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7895 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7896 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7897 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7900 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7903 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7904 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7905 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7907 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7908 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7909 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7910 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7911 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7912 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7913 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7914 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7916 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7917 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7919 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7921 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7922 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7923 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7927 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7928 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7929 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7930 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7934 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7936 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7939 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7940 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7941 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7942 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7943 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7944 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7945 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7946 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7947 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7948 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7949 short or long names are found.
7952 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7953 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7955 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7956 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7957 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7958 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7960 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7961 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7962 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7963 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7966 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7967 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7968 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7971 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7972 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7973 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7974 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7975 to allow the various flags to be set.
7978 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7979 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7980 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7981 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7982 dates to be checked.
7985 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7986 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7987 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7990 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7991 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7992 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7995 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7996 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7999 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
8000 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
8001 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
8002 are always statically linked for now, but there are
8003 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
8004 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
8007 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
8008 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
8012 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
8016 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
8017 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
8018 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
8019 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
8020 form signing output easier to verify.
8023 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
8026 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
8027 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
8028 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
8029 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
8030 are needed because all other string types have virtually
8031 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
8032 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
8033 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
8034 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
8035 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
8038 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
8040 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
8041 the syntax given in objects.README.
8042 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
8044 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
8047 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
8048 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
8049 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
8050 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
8051 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
8052 consistent name changes.
8055 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
8058 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
8059 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
8060 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
8061 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8064 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8065 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8066 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8070 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8071 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8072 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8073 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8076 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8077 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8078 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8079 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8080 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8081 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8082 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8083 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8084 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8085 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8086 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8089 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8090 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8091 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8092 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
8093 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8094 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8095 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8096 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8097 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8098 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8101 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8102 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8103 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8104 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8106 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8107 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8108 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8109 omit any duplicate addresses.
8112 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
8113 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
8116 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
8117 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
8118 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
8119 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
8120 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
8123 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
8125 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
8126 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
8127 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
8128 Free => OPENSSL_free
8131 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
8132 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
8135 *) CygWin32 support.
8136 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
8138 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
8139 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
8140 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
8141 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
8142 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
8146 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
8147 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
8148 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
8149 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
8150 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
8151 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
8152 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
8155 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
8156 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
8157 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
8158 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
8159 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
8160 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
8161 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
8162 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
8163 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
8164 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
8165 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
8168 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
8169 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
8170 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
8171 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
8172 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
8174 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
8175 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
8176 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
8177 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
8178 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
8180 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
8183 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
8184 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
8185 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
8186 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
8188 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
8190 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
8193 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
8194 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
8195 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
8198 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
8199 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
8200 any installed hardware versions can.
8203 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
8204 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
8205 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
8209 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
8210 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
8211 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
8212 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
8213 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
8215 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
8216 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
8219 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
8220 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
8223 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
8224 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
8225 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
8229 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
8232 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
8233 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
8234 but no ssl client purpose.
8235 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
8237 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
8238 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
8239 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
8240 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
8241 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
8242 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
8243 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
8244 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
8245 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
8246 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
8247 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
8250 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
8251 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
8252 be obtained from the error queue.
8255 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
8256 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
8257 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
8258 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
8261 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
8264 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
8265 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
8266 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
8267 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
8268 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
8271 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
8272 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
8273 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
8274 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
8275 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8278 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8279 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8280 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8282 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8284 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8285 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8286 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8287 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8288 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8289 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8290 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8291 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8292 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8293 or "the configuration storage API"...
8295 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8297 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8298 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8300 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8302 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8304 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8305 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8306 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8307 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8308 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8309 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8310 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8312 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8313 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8316 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8317 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8318 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8319 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8322 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8323 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8324 them in a portable way.
8325 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8327 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8329 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8331 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8332 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8334 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8335 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8336 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8339 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8340 was larger than the MD block size.
8341 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8343 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8344 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8345 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8346 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8350 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8351 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8352 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8354 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8356 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8358 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8359 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8360 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8361 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8362 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8363 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8365 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8366 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8368 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8369 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8372 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8375 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8376 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8378 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8379 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8380 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
8381 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8384 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8385 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8386 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8387 does not suppress any output.
8390 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8391 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8392 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8393 with all the associated security issues.
8395 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8396 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8397 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8398 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8399 use the value in the default purpose.
8402 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8403 and fix a memory leak.
8406 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8407 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8408 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8409 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8412 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8413 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8414 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8415 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8418 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8419 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8420 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8423 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8424 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8427 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8428 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8432 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8433 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8436 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8437 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8438 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8441 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8442 number generation fails.
8445 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8448 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8449 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8451 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8454 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8455 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8457 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8458 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8460 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8462 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8463 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8466 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8467 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8469 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8470 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8473 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8474 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8475 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8476 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8477 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8478 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8480 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8481 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8482 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8486 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8487 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8488 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8489 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8490 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8491 counter, some don't.)
8492 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8493 counters or duplicate objects.
8496 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8497 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8500 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8501 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8502 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8504 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8505 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8506 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8510 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8511 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8514 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8515 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8516 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8520 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8521 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8522 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8525 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8526 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8527 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8528 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8529 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8530 should work without changes.
8533 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8534 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8535 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8536 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8537 must be defined. E.g.,
8538 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8539 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8540 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8541 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8543 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8547 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8548 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8549 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8552 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8553 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8554 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8555 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8558 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8559 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8560 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8561 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8562 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8563 is prompted for as usual.
8566 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8567 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8568 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8569 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8571 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8572 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8573 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8574 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8577 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8580 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8584 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8587 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8590 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8594 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8597 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8600 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8601 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8604 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8605 options to produce them.
8608 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8609 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8612 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8616 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8617 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8618 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8619 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8620 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8621 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8622 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8625 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8628 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8629 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8630 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8633 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8634 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8636 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8637 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8640 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8641 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8642 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8646 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8647 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8649 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8650 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8651 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8652 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8653 generation becomes much faster.
8655 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8656 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8657 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8658 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8659 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8660 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8661 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8662 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8663 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8664 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8667 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8668 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8669 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8670 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8671 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8672 trial division stage.
8675 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8679 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8682 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8685 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8686 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8687 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8691 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8692 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8693 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8696 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8697 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8698 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8699 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8701 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8702 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8705 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8708 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8709 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8710 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8711 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8714 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8715 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8716 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8719 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8720 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8721 (instead of parameters) in future.
8724 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8725 when a new cipher list is set.
8728 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8729 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8732 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8733 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8734 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8736 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8737 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8738 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8739 an error is flagged.
8741 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8742 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8743 the readability was also increased :-)
8744 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8746 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8747 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8748 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8749 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8753 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8754 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8757 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8758 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8759 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
8760 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8763 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8764 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8765 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8766 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8767 because they handle more complex structures.)
8770 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8771 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8772 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8773 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8775 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8776 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8777 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8778 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8779 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8780 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8781 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8784 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8785 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8786 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8787 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8788 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8791 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8794 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8795 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8796 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8797 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8798 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8801 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8805 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8806 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8807 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8808 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8811 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8814 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8815 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8816 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8817 international characters are used.
8819 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8820 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8821 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8825 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8826 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8827 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8830 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8831 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8832 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8833 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8834 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8835 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8837 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8838 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8839 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8840 be handled by the string table functions.
8842 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8843 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8844 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8845 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8846 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8850 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8851 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8852 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8853 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8854 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8856 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8857 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8858 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8859 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8862 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8863 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8864 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8865 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8866 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8870 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8871 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8872 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8873 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8874 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8875 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8876 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8877 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8879 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8880 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8881 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8884 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8885 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8886 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8887 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8888 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8889 support to pkcs8 application.
8892 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8893 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8894 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8895 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8896 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8897 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8900 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8901 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8902 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8903 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8904 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8908 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8909 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8910 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8911 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8915 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8916 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8917 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8918 and any application specific purposes.
8920 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8921 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8922 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8923 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8924 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8925 if the certificate is self signed.
8928 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8929 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8932 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8933 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8934 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8935 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8938 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8939 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8940 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8941 Update documentation.
8944 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8945 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8946 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8947 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8948 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8951 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8953 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8955 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8956 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8957 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8958 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8959 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8960 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8961 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8962 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8963 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8964 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8966 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8968 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8969 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8970 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8971 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8972 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8974 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8975 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8976 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8977 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8978 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8979 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8980 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8981 request additional information:
8982 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8983 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8985 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8986 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8987 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8990 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8991 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8994 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8997 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8998 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
9000 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
9001 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
9002 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
9006 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
9007 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
9008 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
9010 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
9011 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
9012 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
9013 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
9014 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
9015 included in OpenSSL.
9018 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
9019 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
9020 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
9021 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
9022 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
9023 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
9026 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
9030 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
9031 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
9032 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
9033 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
9034 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
9038 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
9042 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
9043 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
9044 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
9045 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
9046 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
9047 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
9048 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
9049 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
9050 be maintained manually.
9052 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
9053 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
9054 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
9055 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
9056 work because people forget to call this function]
9057 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
9058 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
9059 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
9062 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9063 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9064 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9065 should be discouraged from doing it.
9068 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9069 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9070 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9071 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9072 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9073 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9076 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9077 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9078 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9080 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9081 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9082 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9084 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9085 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9086 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9087 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9088 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9089 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9091 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9092 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9093 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9095 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9096 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9099 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9100 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9101 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9102 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9105 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9108 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9109 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
9110 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
9111 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
9112 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
9113 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
9114 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
9115 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
9116 keys so we should be OK.
9118 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
9119 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
9120 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
9121 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
9122 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
9123 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
9124 stay in the name of compatibility.
9126 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
9127 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
9128 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
9130 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
9131 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
9132 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
9133 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
9134 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
9135 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
9139 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
9140 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
9141 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
9142 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
9143 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
9144 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
9145 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
9146 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
9147 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
9148 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
9149 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
9150 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
9151 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
9154 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
9157 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
9158 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
9159 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
9160 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
9161 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
9162 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
9163 single self signed certificate. This means that:
9164 openssl verify ss.pem
9165 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
9166 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
9170 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
9171 (and add it to external session representation).
9172 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
9173 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
9174 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
9175 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
9176 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
9177 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
9179 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
9181 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
9182 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
9183 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
9184 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
9186 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
9187 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
9188 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
9191 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
9192 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
9193 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
9197 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
9198 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
9199 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
9201 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
9202 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
9203 certificate auxiliary information.
9206 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
9210 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
9211 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
9212 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
9213 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
9214 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
9215 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
9216 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
9219 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
9220 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
9223 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
9224 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
9225 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
9226 manpages and fix a few bugs.
9229 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
9232 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
9233 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
9236 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
9237 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
9238 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
9239 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
9240 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
9241 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
9242 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
9243 using the new 'x509' options.
9245 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
9246 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
9247 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
9248 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
9252 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
9253 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
9254 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
9255 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
9256 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
9259 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
9260 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
9261 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
9262 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
9263 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
9264 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
9265 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
9266 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
9267 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
9268 the key length and effective key length are equal.
9271 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
9272 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
9273 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
9274 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
9275 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
9276 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
9277 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9280 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9281 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9282 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9283 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9284 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9285 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9286 openssl.cnf for more info.
9289 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9290 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9291 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9292 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9293 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9294 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9295 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9296 md should be large enough anyway.
9299 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9300 for handling the random seed file.
9302 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9304 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9307 x509 (when signing).
9308 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9309 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9310 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9312 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9313 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9314 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9315 that support '-rand'.
9318 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9319 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9322 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9323 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9326 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9327 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9328 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9329 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9333 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9334 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9335 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9336 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9339 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9340 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9341 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9342 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9343 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9344 print out all the purposes.
9347 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9351 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9352 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9353 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9354 single function call.
9357 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9358 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9361 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9362 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9363 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9366 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9367 when producing the local key id.
9368 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9370 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9371 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9372 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9376 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9377 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9378 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9379 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9382 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9383 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9384 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9385 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9387 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9388 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9389 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9390 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9392 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9393 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9394 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9395 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9396 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9397 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9398 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9399 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9400 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9401 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9402 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9403 trivial: move one line.
9404 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9406 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9407 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9408 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9409 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9410 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9411 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9412 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9413 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9414 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9415 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9416 with an event loop for example.
9419 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9420 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9421 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9422 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9423 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9424 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9425 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9426 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9427 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9430 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9431 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9432 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9433 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9434 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9435 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9438 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9439 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9440 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9441 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9443 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9444 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9445 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9446 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9450 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9451 (still largely untested)
9454 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9455 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9458 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9459 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9462 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9463 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9464 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9467 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9468 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9469 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9470 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9471 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9474 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9477 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9478 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9479 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9480 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9481 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9485 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9486 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9489 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9492 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9493 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9494 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9495 are otherwise ignored at present.
9498 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9499 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9500 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9501 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9502 copied until the next read.
9505 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9506 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9507 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9510 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9511 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9512 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9513 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9514 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9515 associated functions.
9518 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9519 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9520 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9521 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9522 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9523 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9524 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9525 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9526 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9530 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9531 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9532 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9533 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9536 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9537 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9538 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9539 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9540 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9544 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9545 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9549 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9550 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9551 extensions to be obtained and added.
9554 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9555 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9558 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9560 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9561 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9563 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9564 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9566 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9570 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9571 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9572 DH parameters contain its length).
9574 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9575 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9576 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9577 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9578 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9579 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9580 utter importance to use
9581 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9583 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9584 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9585 attacks may become possible!
9588 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9591 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9592 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9595 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9596 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9597 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9601 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9602 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9603 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9604 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9605 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9606 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9607 private key operations.
9610 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9613 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9614 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9616 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9617 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9618 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9619 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9620 the password callback is called.
9621 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9623 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9625 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9626 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9627 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9628 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9629 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9630 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9633 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9634 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9635 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9636 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9637 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9638 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9641 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9644 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9645 delete an unused file.
9648 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9649 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9650 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9651 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9654 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9655 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9656 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9660 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9661 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9662 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9664 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9665 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9666 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9667 comparison" warnings.
9668 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9671 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9672 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9673 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9676 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9677 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9679 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9680 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9682 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9683 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9684 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9686 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9687 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9688 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9689 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9690 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9692 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9694 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9695 The interface is as follows:
9696 Applications can use
9697 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9698 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9699 "off" is now the default.
9700 The library internally uses
9701 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9702 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9703 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9705 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9706 even the default) are now avoided.
9708 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9709 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9710 than just having a counter.
9712 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9714 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9718 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9719 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9720 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9721 Initial "mode" flags are:
9723 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9724 a single record has been written.
9725 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9726 retries use the same buffer location.
9727 (But all of the contents must be
9731 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9734 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9735 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9737 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9738 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9739 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9742 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9743 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9745 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9747 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9748 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9749 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9750 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9752 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9753 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9755 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9756 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9757 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9758 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9759 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9760 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9763 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9764 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9765 necessary function names.
9768 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9769 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9770 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9771 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9774 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9775 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9776 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9779 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9780 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9781 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9782 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9784 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9788 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9789 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9790 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9793 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9794 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9798 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9799 for the encoded length.
9800 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9802 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9805 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9806 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9807 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9808 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9811 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9812 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9813 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9815 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9816 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9817 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9821 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9822 to use the new extension code.
9825 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9826 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9827 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9831 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9832 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9833 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9837 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9840 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9841 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9842 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9845 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9846 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9847 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9848 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9851 *) DES library cleanups.
9854 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9855 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9856 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9857 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9858 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9862 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9863 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9866 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9867 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9868 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9869 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9870 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9871 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9872 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9873 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9874 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9877 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9878 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9879 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9880 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9881 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9882 value doesn't matter.
9885 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9889 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9890 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9891 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9892 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9894 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9897 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9898 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9899 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9901 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9902 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9904 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9907 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9910 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9913 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9917 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9919 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9921 *) Updated some demos.
9922 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9924 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9927 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9930 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9933 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9934 instead of using a fixed path.
9937 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9940 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9944 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9946 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9947 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9948 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9950 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9951 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9952 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9953 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9954 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9955 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9956 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9957 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9958 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9959 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9962 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9963 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9966 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9967 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9968 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9969 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9970 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9972 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9975 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9976 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9977 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9980 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9983 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9984 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9985 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9986 key elements as negative integers.
9989 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9990 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9993 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9995 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9996 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9997 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
10000 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
10001 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
10002 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
10003 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
10004 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
10007 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
10010 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
10011 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
10012 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
10013 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10015 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
10016 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
10017 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
10019 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
10020 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
10021 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
10022 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
10023 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
10024 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
10025 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
10026 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
10027 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
10029 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
10030 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
10031 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
10032 does not influence s as it used to.
10034 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
10035 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
10036 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
10037 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
10038 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
10039 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
10042 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
10043 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
10044 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
10048 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
10049 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
10050 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
10054 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
10055 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
10056 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
10060 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
10061 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10064 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10065 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10067 *) Support Mingw32.
10070 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10071 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10073 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10074 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10076 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10079 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10082 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10083 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10085 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10086 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10087 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10091 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10092 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10093 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10094 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10095 now it really counts the depth.
10098 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10099 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10100 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10101 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10102 didn't match the private key).
10104 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10105 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10106 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10109 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
10112 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
10116 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
10117 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
10118 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
10121 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
10124 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
10125 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
10126 such as /usr/local/bin.
10129 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
10130 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10132 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
10135 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
10136 extension adding in x509 utility.
10139 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
10142 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
10146 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
10149 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
10150 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
10151 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
10152 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
10153 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
10154 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
10155 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
10156 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
10157 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
10158 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
10161 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
10164 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
10165 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
10168 *) Fix some race conditions.
10171 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
10172 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
10175 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
10178 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
10179 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
10180 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
10181 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
10183 *) Fix lots of warnings.
10184 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10186 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
10187 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
10188 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10190 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
10191 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10193 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
10196 *) Fix typos in error codes.
10197 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
10199 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
10202 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
10203 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10205 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
10206 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
10209 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
10210 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
10213 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
10214 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
10217 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
10218 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
10221 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
10222 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
10225 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
10226 support typesafe stack.
10229 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
10230 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
10232 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
10233 old X509V3 handling code.
10236 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
10239 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
10242 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
10245 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
10246 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
10248 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
10249 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
10250 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
10251 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
10252 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
10255 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
10256 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
10257 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
10258 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
10259 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10261 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
10262 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
10263 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
10264 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10266 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
10267 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
10268 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
10269 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10271 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
10272 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
10273 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
10274 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
10275 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
10276 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10279 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10280 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10283 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10284 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10287 *) Tweaks to Configure
10288 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10290 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10294 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10297 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10298 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10301 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10302 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10303 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10306 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10309 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10310 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10313 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10314 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10315 to library startup routines.
10318 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10319 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10320 codes along the way.
10323 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10324 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10325 objects to objects.h
10328 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10329 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10332 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10333 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10335 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10336 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10337 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10339 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10340 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10341 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10343 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10344 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10345 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10348 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10350 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10351 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10354 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10355 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10356 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10357 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10358 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10360 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10361 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10362 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10364 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10366 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10368 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10370 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10371 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10373 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10374 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10375 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10376 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10378 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10381 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10382 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10383 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10384 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10387 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10388 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10389 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10392 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10393 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10394 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10395 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10396 installed as `perl').
10397 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10399 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10400 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10402 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10403 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
10404 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10405 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10406 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10409 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10412 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10413 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10414 is horrible: I feel ill....
10417 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10418 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10419 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10420 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10423 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10424 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10426 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10427 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10428 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10429 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10431 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10432 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10433 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10434 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10435 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10436 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10438 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10440 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10441 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10443 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10444 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10446 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10449 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10450 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10454 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10455 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10456 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10457 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10458 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10459 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10460 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10461 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10462 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10463 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10464 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10466 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10469 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10470 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10471 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10472 for linking it into DSOs.
10473 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10475 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10479 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10480 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10481 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10482 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10483 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10484 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10486 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10487 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10488 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10489 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10490 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10491 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10492 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10494 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10495 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10496 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10500 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10501 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10502 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10503 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10506 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10507 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10508 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10509 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10510 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10514 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10515 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10516 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10517 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10518 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10520 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10521 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10522 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10524 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10525 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10527 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10528 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10529 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10530 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10531 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10534 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10535 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10536 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10537 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10538 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10539 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10540 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10543 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10545 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10546 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10549 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10550 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10552 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10553 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10556 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10557 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10558 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10559 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10560 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10562 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10563 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10564 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10565 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10566 no way to reconfigure them.
10567 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10568 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10569 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10570 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10571 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10572 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10574 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10575 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10576 recognized by the users.
10577 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10579 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10580 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10581 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10582 already masked variable.
10583 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10585 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10586 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10588 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10589 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10590 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10591 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10593 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10594 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10595 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10597 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10598 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10599 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10600 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10601 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10602 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10603 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10604 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10606 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10608 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10609 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10610 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10612 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10613 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10617 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10618 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10620 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10621 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10622 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10623 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10626 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10629 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10630 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10632 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10635 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10636 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10639 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10640 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10643 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10644 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10645 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10646 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10647 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10648 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10649 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10652 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10653 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10655 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10656 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10657 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10658 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10659 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10661 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10662 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10663 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10666 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10667 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10671 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10672 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10673 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10675 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10676 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10677 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10678 build instructions.
10681 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10682 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10683 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10684 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10687 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10688 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10689 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10690 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10693 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10694 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10695 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10696 so it wasn't spotted.
10697 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10699 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10700 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10701 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10702 vectors if you have them.
10705 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10706 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10709 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10710 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10711 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10712 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10714 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10715 it will update them.
10718 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10719 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10720 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10721 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10722 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10723 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10724 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10725 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10727 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10728 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10729 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10730 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10731 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10732 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10733 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10734 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10735 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10736 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10738 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10739 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10740 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10741 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10742 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10745 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10749 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10750 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10752 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10753 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10755 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10756 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10759 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10760 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10762 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10763 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10765 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10768 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10772 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10773 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10774 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10775 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10777 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10780 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10783 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10786 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10787 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10790 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10791 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10795 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10796 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10799 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10800 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10801 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10804 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10805 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10806 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10807 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10808 properly to be processed.
10811 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10812 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10813 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10816 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10817 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10819 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10820 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10821 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10822 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10823 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10824 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10825 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10826 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10827 or delete all the .err files.
10830 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10831 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10832 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10833 to regenerate it if needed.
10834 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10835 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10837 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10838 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10840 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10841 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10842 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10843 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10844 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10847 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10848 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10850 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10851 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10853 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10854 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10855 error, but didn't set one).
10856 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10858 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10861 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10862 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10865 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10866 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10868 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10869 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10870 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10871 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10872 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10873 OID is not part of the table.
10876 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10877 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10880 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10883 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10884 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10888 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10889 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10891 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10893 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10895 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10896 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10898 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10899 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10901 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10902 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10904 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10905 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10908 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10909 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10912 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10913 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10915 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10916 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10918 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10919 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10921 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10922 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10924 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10925 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10926 unused in the certificate verification process.
10927 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10929 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10930 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10933 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10934 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10935 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10937 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10938 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10939 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10940 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10941 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10943 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10944 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10947 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10950 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10953 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10954 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10956 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10959 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10962 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10965 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10966 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10967 other error libraries.
10970 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10973 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
10974 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10978 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10979 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10980 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10981 the new set of documentation files.
10982 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10984 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10985 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10986 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10987 number of arguments.
10988 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10990 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10993 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10994 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10995 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10997 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
11000 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
11004 unixware-2.0-pentium
11008 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
11009 before they are needed.
11012 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
11016 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
11018 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
11019 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
11020 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11022 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
11025 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
11026 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
11027 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11029 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
11030 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
11031 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
11033 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
11034 when "ssleay" is still not found.
11035 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11037 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
11038 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
11040 *) Updated the README file.
11041 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11043 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
11044 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
11045 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11047 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
11048 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
11049 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11051 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
11052 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
11053 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
11054 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
11055 o removed obsolete TODO file
11056 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
11057 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11059 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
11060 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
11061 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

11064 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
11065 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11067 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
11070 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
11071 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
11072 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
11074 [The OpenSSL Project]
11077 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
11079 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
11082 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
11085 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
11086 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
11089 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
11090 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
11094 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
11096 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
11098 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
11101 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
11104 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
11107 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
11110 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
11113 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
11116 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
11119 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
11122 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
11125 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
11128 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
11131 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
11134 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
11137 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
11140 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
11143 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
11146 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
11149 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
11150 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
11151 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
11154 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
11155 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
11158 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
11161 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
11164 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
11165 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
11168 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
11171 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
11174 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
11175 bytes sent in the client random.
