5 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
8 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
9 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
12 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
13 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
15 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
16 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
17 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
18 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
21 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
22 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
23 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
24 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
25 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
29 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
30 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
31 straightforward and less interdependent.
33 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
34 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
35 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
37 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
38 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
39 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
41 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
42 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
43 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
44 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
46 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
47 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
50 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
51 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
52 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
53 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
57 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
59 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
61 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
62 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
63 before trying to build now.*
66 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
70 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
72 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
73 the application's responsibility. The application provides
74 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
75 used to authenticate the peer.
77 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
78 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
79 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
80 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
81 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
84 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
85 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
86 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
87 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
88 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
89 or the 1.1.0 releases.
91 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
92 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
93 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
94 support for the deprecated features from the library and
95 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
96 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
97 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
98 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
101 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
102 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
103 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
104 compile with later releases.
106 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
107 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
108 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
109 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
110 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
113 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
114 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
115 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
116 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
117 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
118 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
119 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
120 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
123 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
126 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
127 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
128 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
131 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
132 include the ec.h header file instead.
135 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
136 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
137 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
140 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
141 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
144 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
145 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
147 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
148 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
149 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
152 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
153 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
154 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
155 an already created structure.
156 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
157 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
158 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
159 for deprecated builds.
162 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
163 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
164 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
165 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
166 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
167 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
168 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
171 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
172 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
173 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
174 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
177 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
178 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
181 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
182 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
185 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
186 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
187 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
188 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
189 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
190 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
191 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
195 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
196 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
197 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
200 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
203 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
205 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
207 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
209 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
210 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
218 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
219 set a mandatory field to NULL.
221 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
222 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
223 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
227 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
230 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
231 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
232 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
233 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
236 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
237 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
238 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
239 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
242 *) Fix no-stdio build.
243 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
244 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
246 *) New testing framework
247 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
248 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
249 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
250 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
251 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
252 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
254 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
256 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
257 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
261 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
262 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
263 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
264 and others were changed. All are now documented.
267 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
269 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
271 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
272 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
274 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
275 original RSA_PSK patch.
278 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
279 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
280 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
281 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
284 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
285 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
288 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
289 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
290 hasn't been working properly for a while.
293 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
294 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
295 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
296 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
300 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
301 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
302 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
303 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
306 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
307 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
308 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
309 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
310 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
311 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
314 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
315 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
316 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
317 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
318 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
319 header file has been removed.
322 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
323 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
326 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
327 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
328 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
330 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
334 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
337 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
341 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
344 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
345 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
346 initial patch which was a great help during development.
349 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
350 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
351 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
352 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
355 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
356 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
357 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
358 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
359 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
360 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
363 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
364 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
365 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
366 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
369 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
370 compatible client hello.
373 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
374 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
375 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
377 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
380 *) Removed old DES API.
383 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
389 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
394 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
397 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
398 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
399 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
400 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
401 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
402 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
403 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
404 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
405 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
406 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
407 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
410 *) Cleaned up dead code
411 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
414 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
415 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
416 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
419 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
420 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
421 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
424 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
425 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
426 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
428 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
429 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
430 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
432 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
434 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
436 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
437 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
438 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
440 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
441 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
443 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
444 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
447 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
448 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
449 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
450 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
452 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
453 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
454 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
455 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
457 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
458 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
459 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
461 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
462 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
465 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
467 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
468 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
470 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
471 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
473 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
476 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
480 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
481 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
482 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
483 algorithms and include tests cases.
486 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
490 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
491 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
494 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
495 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
497 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
498 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
501 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
502 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
506 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
507 sign or verify all in one operation.
510 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
511 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
512 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
515 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
518 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
521 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
522 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
523 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
524 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
525 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
528 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
532 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
533 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
534 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
537 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
538 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
541 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
544 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
545 POST to handle HMAC cases.
548 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
549 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
552 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
553 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
554 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
557 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
558 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
559 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
560 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
561 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
562 requested amount of entropy.
565 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
566 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
569 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
570 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
571 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
575 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
576 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
577 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
580 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
581 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
582 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
583 will never use XTS mode.
586 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
587 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
588 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
589 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
590 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
591 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
594 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
595 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
596 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
597 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
600 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
601 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
602 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
605 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
608 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
611 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
612 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
615 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
616 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
619 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
620 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
623 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
624 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
625 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
626 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
627 and rename any affected symbols.
630 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
631 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
634 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
635 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
636 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
639 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
642 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
643 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
644 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
647 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
648 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
651 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
652 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
653 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
654 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
655 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
656 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
660 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
661 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
662 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
663 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
664 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
665 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
666 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
667 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
670 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
671 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
674 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
676 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
677 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
679 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
680 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
681 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
682 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
683 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
684 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
686 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
687 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
688 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward

692 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
696 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
697 Add CMAC pkey methods.
700 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
701 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
702 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
705 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
706 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
707 multi-process servers.
710 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
711 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
712 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
713 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
714 RAND_METHOD structure.
717 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
718 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
719 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
720 whose return value is often ignored.
723 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
724 *) DH small subgroups
726 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
727 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
728 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
729 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
730 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
731 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
732 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
733 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
734 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
735 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
737 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
738 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
739 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
740 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
741 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
743 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
744 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
745 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
746 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
748 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
749 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
751 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
755 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
757 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
758 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
759 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
762 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
763 and Sebastian Schinzel.
767 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
769 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
771 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
772 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
773 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
774 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
775 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
776 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
777 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
778 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
779 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
780 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
781 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
782 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
784 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
788 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
790 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
791 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
792 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
793 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
794 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
795 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
796 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
799 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
803 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
805 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
806 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
807 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
808 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
810 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
815 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
816 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
817 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
818 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
821 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
823 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
825 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
827 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
829 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
830 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
831 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
832 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
833 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
834 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
836 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
840 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
842 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
843 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
847 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
849 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
851 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
852 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
855 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
856 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
857 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
858 client authentication enabled.
860 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
864 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
866 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
867 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
868 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
871 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
872 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
873 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
874 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
875 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
878 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
879 independently by Hanno Böck.
883 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
885 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
886 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
887 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
889 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
890 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
891 servers are not affected.
893 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
897 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
899 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
900 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
901 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
903 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
907 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
909 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
910 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
911 a double free of the ticket data.
915 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
916 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
917 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
920 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
922 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
924 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
925 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
926 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
928 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
931 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
933 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
935 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
936 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
937 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
938 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
939 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
940 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
941 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
942 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
944 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
948 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
950 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
951 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
952 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
953 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
954 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
955 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
956 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
957 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
960 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
964 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
966 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
967 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
968 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
969 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
970 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
971 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
975 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
977 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
978 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
979 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
980 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
981 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
982 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
983 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
985 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
989 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
991 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
992 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
993 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
995 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
996 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
997 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1002 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1004 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1005 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1006 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1008 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1009 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1010 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1012 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1016 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1018 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1019 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1020 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1022 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1023 (OpenSSL development team).
1027 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1029 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1030 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1031 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1035 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1037 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1038 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1039 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1040 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1041 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1042 SSL_client_methodv23)
1043 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1044 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1046 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1047 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1048 output may be predictable.
1050 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1051 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1053 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1057 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1059 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1060 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1061 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1062 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1063 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1064 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1066 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1071 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1073 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1074 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1076 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1080 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1083 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1085 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1086 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1087 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
1088 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1089 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1090 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1093 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1094 (other platforms pending).
1095 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1097 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1098 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1101 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1102 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1103 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1106 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1107 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1108 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1109 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1112 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1113 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1115 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1116 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1117 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1118 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1119 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1121 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1124 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1125 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1126 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1127 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1129 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1131 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1133 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1134 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1135 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1138 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1141 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1142 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1143 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1146 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1147 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1150 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1151 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1154 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1155 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1156 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1157 algorithms and include tests cases.
1160 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1162 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1164 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1165 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1168 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1169 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1170 summary of the connection parameters.
1173 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1174 of connection parameters.
1177 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1178 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1180 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1181 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1184 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1187 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1188 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1191 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1192 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1195 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1199 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1200 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1201 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1204 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1207 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1208 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1211 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1212 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1213 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1217 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1218 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1221 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1225 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1229 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1230 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1231 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1232 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1235 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1236 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1239 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1240 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1241 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1245 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1246 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1247 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1248 use the certificate.
1251 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1254 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1255 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1256 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1257 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1258 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1259 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1260 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1262 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1263 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1267 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1268 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1269 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1272 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1273 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1274 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1275 supported signature algorithms.
1278 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1281 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1282 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1283 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1284 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1285 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1286 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1287 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1290 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1291 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1292 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1293 to have similar checks in it.
1295 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1296 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1297 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1298 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1299 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1302 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1303 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1304 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1305 shared signature algorithms.
1308 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1309 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1313 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1314 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1315 it couldn't be removed.
1318 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1319 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1322 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1323 functions. Add manual page.
1324 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1326 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1327 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1331 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1332 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1334 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1335 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1336 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1337 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1341 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1342 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1345 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1346 platform support for Linux and Android.
1349 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1352 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1353 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1354 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1355 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1356 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1359 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1360 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1361 the new parameter format automatically.
1364 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1365 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1368 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1371 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1372 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1373 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1374 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1375 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1378 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1379 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1380 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1381 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1382 to set list of supported curves.
1385 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1386 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1387 to print out received values.
1390 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1391 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1392 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1395 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1396 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1399 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1400 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1403 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1407 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1409 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1410 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1411 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1413 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1415 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1416 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1418 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1420 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1421 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1422 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1423 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1427 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1428 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1429 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1430 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1431 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1432 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1436 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1437 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1438 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1439 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1443 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1446 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1447 reporting this issue.
1451 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1452 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1453 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1454 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1455 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1456 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1460 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1461 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1462 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1463 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1464 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1465 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1466 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1471 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1472 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1474 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1475 and can vary with the CTX.
1478 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1480 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1481 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1482 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1483 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1484 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1486 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1488 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1489 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1491 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1493 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1494 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1495 errors for some broken certificates.
1497 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1499 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1501 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1502 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1504 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1505 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1506 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1507 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1509 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1510 of the OpenSSL core team.
1515 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1516 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1517 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1518 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1519 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1520 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1521 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1522 the OpenSSL core team.
1526 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1527 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1528 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1529 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1530 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1532 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1533 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1534 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1537 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1538 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1539 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1540 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1541 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1543 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1544 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1545 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1548 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1550 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1552 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1553 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1554 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1555 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1556 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1557 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1558 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1560 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1564 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1566 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1567 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1568 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1569 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1570 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1575 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1577 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1578 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1579 configured to send them.
1581 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1583 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1584 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1585 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1587 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1589 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1591 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1592 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1593 DigestInfo structures.
1595 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1599 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1601 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1602 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1603 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1605 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1606 Group for discovering this issue.
1610 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1611 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1612 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1613 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1614 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1616 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1617 researching this issue.
1621 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1622 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1623 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1624 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1626 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1631 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1632 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1633 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1637 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1638 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1639 Denial of Service attack.
1640 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1644 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1645 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1646 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1647 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1652 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1653 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1654 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1656 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1661 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1662 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1663 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1664 Denial of Service attack.
1666 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1667 discovering and researching this issue.
1671 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1672 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1673 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1674 output to the attacker.
1676 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1678 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1680 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1681 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1682 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1685 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1687 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1688 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1689 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1691 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1692 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1693 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1695 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1696 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1699 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1701 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1703 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1704 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1705 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1706 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1708 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1709 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1711 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1712 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1714 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1715 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1716 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1718 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1720 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1722 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1723 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
1724 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1726 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1727 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1729 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1731 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1732 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1735 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1736 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1737 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1738 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1740 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1741 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1742 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1743 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1745 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1746 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1747 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1749 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1751 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1752 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1753 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1754 is at least 512 bytes long.
1756 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1758 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1760 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1761 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1762 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1765 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1766 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1767 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1770 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1771 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1772 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1773 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1774 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1775 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1776 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1778 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1780 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1781 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1782 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1784 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1786 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1788 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1789 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1790 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1792 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1793 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1794 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1795 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1797 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1799 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1800 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1801 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1802 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1803 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1807 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1808 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1811 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1812 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1814 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1815 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1816 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1817 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1818 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1820 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1823 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1827 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1829 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1830 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1832 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1833 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1837 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1838 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1841 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1845 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1847 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1848 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1849 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1850 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1851 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1852 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1853 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1854 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1855 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1856 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1859 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1860 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1861 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1862 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1863 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1864 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1868 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1870 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1871 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1872 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1874 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1875 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1877 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1879 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1882 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1883 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1885 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1886 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1887 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1888 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1889 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1890 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1891 Most broken servers should now work.
1892 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1893 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1896 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1899 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1901 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1902 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1905 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1906 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1907 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1908 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1909 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1912 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1913 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1914 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
1915 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1916 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1919 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1920 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1922 *) Add support for SCTP.
1923 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1925 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1926 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1928 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1930 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1931 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1932 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1933 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1934 - s390x: z196 support;
1935 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1939 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1940 (removal of unnecessary code)
1941 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1943 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1946 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1949 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,

1953 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1955 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1956 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1957 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1958 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1959 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1961 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1962 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1963 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1965 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1966 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1967 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1969 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1970 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1972 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1974 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1975 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1976 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1979 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1980 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1984 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1985 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1986 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1989 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1990 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1991 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1992 the appropriate parameters.
1995 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1996 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1997 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1998 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1999 against a number of sample certificates.
2002 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2003 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2005 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2006 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2008 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2009 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2013 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2017 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2018 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2019 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2020 password based CMS).
2023 *) Session-handling fixes:
2024 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2025 but also support Session Tickets.
2026 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2027 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2028 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2029 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2030 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2031 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2033 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2036 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2038 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2041 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2042 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2043 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2044 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2045 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2048 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2049 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2052 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2053 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2054 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2057 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2058 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2059 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2060 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2063 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2064 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2065 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2068 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2069 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2071 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2074 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2075 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2078 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2081 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2082 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2085 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2086 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2089 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2092 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2093 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2094 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2097 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2100 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2103 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2104 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2107 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2108 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2109 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2112 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2115 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2119 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2120 FIPS modules versions.
2123 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2124 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2125 until after the certificate request message is received.
2128 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2129 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2130 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2131 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2134 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2135 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2136 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2137 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2140 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2141 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2142 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2143 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2144 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2145 and version checking.
2148 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2149 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2150 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2151 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2155 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2157 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2160 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2161 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2162 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2164 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2165 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2166 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2169 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2170 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2172 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2173 a few changes are required:
2175 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2176 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2177 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2178 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2179 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2182 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2184 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2185 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2186 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2187 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2188 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2189 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2190 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2191 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2192 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2195 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2196 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2197 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2200 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2202 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2203 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2204 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2205 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2208 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2210 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2211 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2212 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2213 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2214 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2215 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2216 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2217 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2218 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2219 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2220 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2221 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2222 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2224 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2226 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2228 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2229 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2230 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2231 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2233 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2234 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2236 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2237 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2238 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2239 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2241 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2242 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2244 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2245 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2247 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2248 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2250 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2251 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2252 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2254 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2255 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2256 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2258 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2259 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2260 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2261 the last update always remained unused).
2262 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2264 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2265 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2267 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2269 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2270 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2271 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2273 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2274 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2275 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2277 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2280 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2281 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2282 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2285 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2286 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2288 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2290 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2292 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2294 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2295 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2297 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2298 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2302 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2304 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2305 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2306 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2309 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2310 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2311 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2314 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2316 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2317 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2318 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2321 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2325 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2327 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2329 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2331 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2333 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2334 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2335 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2338 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2341 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2342 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2343 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2345 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2346 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2347 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2350 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2351 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2354 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2355 some responders need this.
2358 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2360 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2362 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2363 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2364 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2367 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2370 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2371 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2372 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2373 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2374 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2375 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2376 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2377 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2380 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2381 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2382 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2383 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2385 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2386 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2388 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2392 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2393 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2394 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2395 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2396 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2397 attempting to work them out.
2400 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2401 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2402 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2403 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2406 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2407 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2408 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2409 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2410 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2413 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2414 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2421 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2423 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2427 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2428 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2430 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2431 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2433 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2434 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2435 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2436 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2437 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2440 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2441 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2442 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2445 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2446 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2449 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2450 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2452 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2453 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2456 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2459 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2460 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2461 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2465 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2466 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2467 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2468 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2469 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2470 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2473 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2474 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2476 This work was sponsored by Google.
2479 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2480 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2481 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2482 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2483 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2484 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2485 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2488 This work was sponsored by Google.
2491 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2493 This work was sponsored by Google.
2496 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2497 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2498 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2499 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2501 This work was sponsored by Google.
2504 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2505 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2506 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2507 CRL functionality in future.
2509 This work was sponsored by Google.
2512 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2514 This work was sponsored by Google.
2517 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2518 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2520 This work was sponsored by Google.
2523 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2524 and URI types are currently supported.
2526 This work was sponsored by Google.
2529 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2530 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2531 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2532 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2533 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2534 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2535 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2536 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2538 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2539 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2540 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2542 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2543 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2544 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2545 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2547 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2548 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2549 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2550 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2551 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2552 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2553 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2554 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2556 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2558 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2559 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2560 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2562 This work was sponsored by Google.
2565 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2568 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2569 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2570 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2573 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2574 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2577 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2578 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2581 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2582 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2583 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2584 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2585 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2586 content types and variants.
2589 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2592 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2593 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2594 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2595 files from the associated perl scripts.
2598 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2599 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2600 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2602 *) s390x assembler pack.
2605 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2609 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2610 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2611 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2612 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2613 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2614 to use. For example, specify an option
2616 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2618 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2619 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2620 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2621 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2622 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2623 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2625 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2626 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2627 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2628 return non-zero for success.
2630 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2633 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2634 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2638 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2641 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2642 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2643 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2644 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2645 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2646 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2647 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2648 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2649 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2651 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2652 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2653 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2654 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2655 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2656 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2658 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2659 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2660 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2661 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2662 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2663 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2667 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2670 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2672 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2673 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2674 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2677 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2678 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2681 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2682 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2683 with no application modification.
2685 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2686 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2688 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2689 or server extensions to be examined.
2691 This work was sponsored by Google.
2694 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2695 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2696 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2698 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2699 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2700 ciphersuite support.
2701 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2703 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2704 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2705 to output in BER and PEM format.
2708 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2709 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2710 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2711 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2712 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2715 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2716 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2717 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2721 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2722 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2723 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2724 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2725 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2726 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2727 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2728 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2731 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2732 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2733 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2734 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2736 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2737 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2738 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2742 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2743 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2744 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2745 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2746 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2747 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2748 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2749 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2750 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2752 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2753 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2754 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2755 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2756 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2757 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2758 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2759 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2760 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2761 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2762 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2765 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2766 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2767 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2769 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2770 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2774 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2775 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2776 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2779 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2780 it yet and it is largely untested.
2783 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2786 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2787 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2788 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2791 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2794 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2795 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2796 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2797 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2800 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2801 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2802 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2803 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2804 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2807 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2808 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2811 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2812 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2813 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2814 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2817 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2818 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2819 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2820 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2823 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2824 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2827 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2828 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2829 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2830 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2833 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2834 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2835 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2838 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2842 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2843 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2846 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2847 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2848 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2852 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2853 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2854 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2857 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2858 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2859 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2860 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2863 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2864 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2865 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2866 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2867 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2868 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2871 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2872 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2873 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2874 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2875 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2877 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2878 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2879 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2880 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2881 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2884 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2885 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2886 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2887 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2889 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2890 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2891 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2892 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2893 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2899 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2900 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2904 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2905 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2908 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2909 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2912 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2913 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2914 functional reference processing.
2917 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2918 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2922 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2923 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2924 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2927 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2928 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2929 application to support multiple signers.
2932 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2936 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2937 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2938 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2939 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2940 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2943 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2947 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2948 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2949 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2950 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2954 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2955 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2956 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2957 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
2958 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2959 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2960 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2961 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2964 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2965 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2966 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2967 between digests and public key types.
2970 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2971 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2972 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2973 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2976 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2977 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2981 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2984 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2988 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2989 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2990 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2991 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2996 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2998 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3000 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3002 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3003 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3004 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3005 functionality for RSA.
3008 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3009 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3010 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3013 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3014 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3017 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3018 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3019 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3022 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3023 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3026 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3027 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3030 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3031 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3035 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3036 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3037 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3041 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3042 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3043 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3044 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3045 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3046 of public and private key structures.
3049 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3050 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3053 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3054 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3055 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3058 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3062 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3063 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3064 SSL_get_psk_identity
3065 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3067 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3069 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3070 and response verification functionality.
3071 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3073 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3074 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3075 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3076 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3077 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3078 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3079 server_name extension.
3081 New functions (subject to change):
3083 SSL_get_servername()
3084 SSL_get_servername_type()
3087 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3089 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3090 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3091 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3092 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3093 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3095 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3097 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3098 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3099 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3100 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3101 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3102 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3105 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3107 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3110 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3111 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3112 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3113 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3114 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3117 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3118 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3122 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3123 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3124 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3125 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3128 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3129 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3130 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3131 using the maximum available value.
3134 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3135 in addition to the text details.
3138 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3139 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3140 handle several customised structures at all.
3143 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3144 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3145 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3148 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3151 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3152 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3153 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3156 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3157 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3158 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3161 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3162 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3166 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3169 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3172 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3174 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3175 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3176 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3177 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3178 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3179 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3180 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3181 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3183 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3184 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3185 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3187 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3189 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3190 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3192 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3193 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3196 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3197 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3198 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3201 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3202 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3203 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3204 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3205 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3206 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3209 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3210 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3211 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3214 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3215 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3216 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3217 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3218 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3219 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3223 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3224 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3227 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3228 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3229 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3232 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3235 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3236 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3237 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3238 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3239 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3240 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3241 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3242 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3243 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3246 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3247 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3248 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3251 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3252 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3255 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3256 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3257 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3258 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3259 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3260 know what you are doing.
3261 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3263 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3264 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3265 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3266 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3267 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3268 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3272 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3273 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3274 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3276 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3278 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3279 warnings in other configurations.
3282 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3283 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3284 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3286 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3288 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3289 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3290 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3292 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3293 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3294 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3295 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3298 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3302 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3303 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3305 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3307 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3308 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3309 other than a simple chain.
3310 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3312 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3313 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3314 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3315 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3318 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3319 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3320 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3321 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3322 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3323 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3324 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3325 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3326 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3328 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3329 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3330 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3331 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3332 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3333 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3335 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3337 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3338 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3341 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3342 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3345 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3347 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3349 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3350 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3351 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3352 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3353 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3357 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3359 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3360 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3361 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3362 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3364 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3365 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3366 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3367 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3369 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3370 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3371 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3374 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3375 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3379 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3380 to handle some structures.
3383 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3385 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3387 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3390 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3393 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3396 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3397 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3401 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3403 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3405 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3407 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3410 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3411 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3412 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3413 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3415 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3416 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3418 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3419 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3422 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3423 s_client and s_server.
3426 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3427 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3429 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3430 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3432 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3433 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3434 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3435 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3436 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3439 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3441 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3442 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3445 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3446 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3449 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3450 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3451 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3452 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3454 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3455 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3457 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3459 *) Various precautionary measures:
3461 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3463 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3464 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3465 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3467 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3468 outside the expected range.
3470 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3473 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3475 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3476 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3477 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3479 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3482 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3485 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3487 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3490 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3491 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3492 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3494 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3497 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3498 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3499 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3503 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3505 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3506 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3507 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3508 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3510 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3511 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3514 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3516 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3517 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3518 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3520 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3522 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3523 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3524 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3525 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3528 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3529 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3530 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3531 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3532 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3533 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3534 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3536 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3538 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3539 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3540 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3541 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3542 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3544 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3545 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3547 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3548 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3549 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3550 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3551 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3553 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3555 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3556 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3557 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3558 sets may exist with different names.
3561 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3562 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3563 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3564 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3565 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3566 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3567 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3568 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3569 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3571 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3573 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3574 implemention in the following ways:
3576 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3579 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3580 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3581 ignored for embedded content.
3583 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3584 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3587 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3588 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3589 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3590 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3592 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3593 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3596 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3597 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3600 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3601 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3602 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3603 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3604 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3605 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3609 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3610 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3611 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3615 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3616 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3617 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3618 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3619 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3620 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3621 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3622 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3624 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3625 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3626 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3627 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3628 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3629 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3630 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3632 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3633 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3634 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3635 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3636 to s_client and s_server.
3639 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3641 *) Fix various bugs:
