5 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
8 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
9 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
10 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
13 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
14 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
15 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
16 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
19 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
20 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
23 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
24 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
25 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
26 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
29 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
30 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
31 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
34 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
38 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
39 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
42 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
43 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
44 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
48 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
49 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
50 to free up any added signature OIDs.
53 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
54 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
55 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
56 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
59 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
60 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
61 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
62 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
63 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
64 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
65 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
66 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
68 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
69 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
70 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
72 we now have additional functions
74 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
75 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
76 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
78 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
79 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
83 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
84 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
85 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
86 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
87 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
88 the array representation useful in a more general context.
91 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
92 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
93 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
94 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
95 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
97 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
98 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
99 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
100 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
101 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
104 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
105 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
106 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
107 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
109 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
110 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
111 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
112 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
113 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
119 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
120 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
124 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
125 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
128 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
129 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
132 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
133 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
134 functional reference processing.
137 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
138 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
142 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
143 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
144 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
147 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
148 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
149 application to support multiple signers.
152 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
156 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
157 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
158 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
159 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
160 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
163 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
167 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
168 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
169 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
170 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
174 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
175 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
176 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
177 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
178 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
179 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
180 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
181 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
184 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
185 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
186 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
187 between digests and public key types.
190 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
191 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
192 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
193 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
196 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
197 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
201 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
204 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
208 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
209 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
210 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
211 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
216 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
218 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
220 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
222 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
223 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
224 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
225 functionality for RSA.
228 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
229 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
230 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
233 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
234 key API, doesn't do much yet.
237 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
238 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
239 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
242 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
243 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
246 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
247 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
250 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
251 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
255 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
256 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
257 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
261 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
262 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
263 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
264 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
265 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
266 of public and private key structures.
269 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
270 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
273 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
274 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
275 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
278 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
282 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
283 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
285 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
287 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
289 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
290 and response verification functionality.
291 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
293 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
294 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
295 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
296 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
297 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
298 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
299 server_name extension.
301 New functions (subject to change):
304 SSL_get_servername_type()
307 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
309 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
310 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
311 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
312 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
313 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_hostname()
315 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
317 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
318 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
319 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
320 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
321 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
322 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
325 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
327 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
330 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
331 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
332 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
333 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
334 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
337 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
338 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
342 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
343 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
344 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
345 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
348 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
349 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
350 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
351 using the maximum available value.
354 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
355 in addition to the text details.
358 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
359 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
360 handle several customised structures at all.
363 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
364 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
365 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
368 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
371 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
372 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
373 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
376 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
377 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
378 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
381 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
382 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
386 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
389 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
392 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [xx XXX xxxx]
394 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
395 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
396 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
397 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
398 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
399 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
400 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
401 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
402 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
404 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
405 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
406 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
407 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
408 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
410 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
411 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
412 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
413 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
414 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
415 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
416 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
417 multiple values to extend the available space.
421 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
423 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
424 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
426 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
429 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
430 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
431 undesirable limitations.
432 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
434 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
435 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
436 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
437 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
438 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
439 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
440 to avoid potential handshake problems.
443 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
445 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
446 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
447 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
449 The latter two were purportedly from
450 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
453 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
454 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
455 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
458 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
459 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
462 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
463 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
464 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
465 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
467 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
468 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
469 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
472 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
473 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
474 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
475 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
476 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
477 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
480 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
482 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
483 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
486 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
487 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
489 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
490 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
491 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
492 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
495 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
496 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
499 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
500 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
501 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
502 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
503 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
504 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
505 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
509 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
510 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
511 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
512 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
515 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
516 under VC++ build system.
519 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
520 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
523 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
525 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
526 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
527 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
528 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
529 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
531 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
532 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
533 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
535 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
538 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
539 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
542 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
543 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
545 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
548 *) Extended Windows CE support.
549 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
551 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
552 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
555 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
556 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
560 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
562 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
565 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
568 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
569 key into the same file any more.
572 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
575 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
576 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
578 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
579 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
582 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
583 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
584 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
585 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
586 this only applies when building 'shared'.
587 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
589 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
590 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
591 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
594 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
595 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
596 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
597 - add new function for parameter creation
598 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
599 BN_BLINDING parameters
600 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
601 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
602 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
606 *) Add support for DTLS.
607 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
609 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
610 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
613 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
614 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
617 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
618 the apps/openssl applications.
621 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
622 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
623 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
626 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
627 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
629 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
630 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
632 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
633 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
634 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
635 avoid this algorithm.)
639 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
640 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
641 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
644 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
645 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
648 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
649 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
650 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
653 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
655 The blank line is mandatory.
659 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
660 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
664 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
665 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
667 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
668 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
669 to support policy checking and print out.
672 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
673 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
674 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
675 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
677 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
680 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
681 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
683 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
684 implementation contributed by IBM.
685 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
687 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
688 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
689 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
690 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
692 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
693 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
695 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
696 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
697 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
698 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
699 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
700 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
703 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
704 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
705 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
706 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
707 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
708 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
709 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
712 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
715 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
716 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
717 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
718 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
719 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
720 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
721 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
722 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
725 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
726 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
727 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
728 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
731 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
734 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
737 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
738 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
739 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
740 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
741 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
742 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
746 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
747 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
750 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
751 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
752 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
755 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
756 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
757 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
761 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
762 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
765 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
766 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
767 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
768 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
771 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
772 initialised value as BN_new().
773 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
775 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
778 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
779 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
780 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
781 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
782 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
783 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
784 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
785 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
786 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
787 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
788 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
789 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
790 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
791 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
792 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
794 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
795 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
796 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
797 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
800 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
801 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
802 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
803 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
804 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
805 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
806 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
807 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
808 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
811 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
812 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
813 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
814 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
815 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
816 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
817 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
820 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
821 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
822 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
823 these have been updated also.
826 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
827 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
828 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
829 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
830 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
834 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
835 structure of type "other".
838 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
839 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
840 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
841 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
842 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
843 situation in the script.
844 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
846 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
847 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
848 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
849 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
850 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
851 used as premaster secret.
852 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
854 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
855 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
856 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
858 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
859 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
861 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
862 control of the error stack.
865 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
868 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
869 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
870 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
871 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
874 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
875 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
876 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
879 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
880 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
881 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
885 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
886 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
887 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
888 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
891 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
892 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
893 the following flags are defined:
895 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
896 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
897 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
900 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
901 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
902 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
903 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
907 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
908 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
909 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
910 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
911 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
914 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
915 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
916 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
919 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
920 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
921 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
922 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
923 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
924 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
927 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
931 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
934 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
937 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
940 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
941 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
942 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
943 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
944 default implementation more easily.
947 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
951 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
952 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
955 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
956 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
957 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
958 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
960 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
961 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
962 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
966 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
967 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
971 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
972 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
973 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
974 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
975 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
977 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
979 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
980 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
981 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
985 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
986 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
987 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
988 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
989 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
990 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
991 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
992 linker additions, eg;
993 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
996 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
997 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
998 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1001 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1002 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1003 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1007 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1008 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1009 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1010 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1013 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1014 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1015 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1016 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1017 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1018 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1019 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1020 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1021 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1022 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1024 Example for using the new callback interface:
1026 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1030 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1032 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1033 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1034 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1035 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1036 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1037 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1042 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1043 available to TLS with the number defined in
1044 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1047 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1048 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1050 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1051 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1052 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1053 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1055 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1056 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1058 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1059 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1063 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1064 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1067 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1068 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1069 and a macro that behave like
1070 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1072 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1075 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1076 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1077 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1079 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1081 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1084 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1085 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1086 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1087 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1089 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1090 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1091 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1092 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1093 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1094 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1095 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1096 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1098 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1099 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1102 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1103 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1105 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1106 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1107 files while avoiding the low level API.
1109 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1110 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1111 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1112 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1114 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1115 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1116 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1117 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1118 instead of the low level API.
1121 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1122 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1123 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1124 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1125 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1128 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1129 down to the template encoder.
1132 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1133 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1136 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1137 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1138 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1139 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1141 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1142 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1144 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1145 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1147 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1148 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1151 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1152 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1153 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1156 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1157 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1159 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1160 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1162 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1163 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1166 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1170 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1171 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1172 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1173 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1174 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1175 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1177 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1178 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1181 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1182 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1183 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1184 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1185 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1186 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1187 various internal method names.)
1189 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1190 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1192 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1193 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1195 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1196 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1198 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1199 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1200 methods are undefined.
1202 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1203 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1205 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1206 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1207 length of the modulus.
1209 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1210 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1212 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1213 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1215 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1216 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1218 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1219 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1220 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1223 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1224 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1225 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1226 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1228 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1229 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1230 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1231 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1233 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1234 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1236 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1237 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1238 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1239 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1240 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1242 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1243 This applies to the following functions:
1248 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1249 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1251 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1252 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1256 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1261 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1263 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1264 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1265 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1266 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1267 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1269 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1270 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1272 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1273 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1274 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1276 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1277 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1279 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1280 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1281 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1282 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1283 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1285 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1287 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1288 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1289 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1290 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1291 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1292 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1293 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1294 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1295 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1296 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1297 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1298 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1300 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1303 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1304 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1305 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1306 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1308 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1309 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1310 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1311 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1316 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1317 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1318 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1319 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1320 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1322 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1323 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1324 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1325 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1326 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1327 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1328 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1329 adding different types of curves.
1330 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1332 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1333 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1334 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1337 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1338 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1340 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1341 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1342 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1343 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1345 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1347 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1348 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1350 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1351 library. Most notably,
1352 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1353 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1354 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1355 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1356 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1357 extracted before the specific public key;
1358 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1359 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1361 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1362 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1364 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1365 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1366 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1367 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1369 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1370 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1371 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1373 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1374 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1375 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1376 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1377 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1378 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1382 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [xx XXX xxxx]
1384 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1385 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1386 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1387 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1388 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1389 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1390 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1393 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1395 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1396 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1398 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1399 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1400 undesirable limitations.
1401 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1403 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1405 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1406 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1407 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1409 The latter two were purportedly from
1410 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1413 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1414 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1415 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1418 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1419 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1422 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1424 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1425 module in FIPS mode.
1428 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1431 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1432 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1433 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1434 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1437 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1439 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1440 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1441 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1442 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1443 the difference induced by this change.
1446 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1448 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1449 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1450 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1451 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1452 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1454 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1455 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1456 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1458 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1459 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1462 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1463 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1464 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1465 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1469 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1470 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1471 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1472 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1473 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1475 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1476 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1477 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1478 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1479 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1480 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1482 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1484 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1485 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1486 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1487 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1488 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1491 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1495 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1496 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1497 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1500 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1501 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1502 structures constant.
1505 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1507 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1510 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1511 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1512 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1513 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1514 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1515 some needed definitions.
1518 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1521 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1522 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1523 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1524 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1527 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1529 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1530 server and client random values. Previously
1531 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1532 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1534 This change has negligible security impact because:
1536 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1539 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1542 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1543 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1546 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1549 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1551 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1554 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1555 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1556 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1558 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1561 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1562 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1565 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1566 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1567 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1569 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1572 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1573 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1574 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1578 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1579 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1580 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1581 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1583 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1584 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1585 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1586 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1590 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1592 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1593 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1594 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1595 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1596 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1599 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1602 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1603 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1605 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1606 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1607 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1608 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1609 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1610 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1611 rather than being initialized to 1.
1614 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1616 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1617 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1618 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1620 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1622 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1624 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1625 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1626 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1627 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1628 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1629 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1632 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1633 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1634 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1635 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1636 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1640 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1641 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1642 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1643 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1644 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1647 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1648 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1649 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1653 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1654 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1656 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1659 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1661 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1663 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1664 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1666 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1668 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1669 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1673 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1674 exiting on the first error in a request.
1677 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1678 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1682 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1683 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1684 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1685 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1687 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1688 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1691 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1692 blocks during encryption.
1695 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1696 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1697 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1698 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1702 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1703 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1704 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1705 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1706 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1710 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1712 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1713 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1714 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1715 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1718 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1719 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1720 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1721 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1722 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1724 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1725 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1726 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1727 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1728 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1729 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1730 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1731 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1732 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1735 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1736 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1737 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1738 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1741 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1742 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1745 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1747 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1748 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1749 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1750 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1751 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1753 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1754 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1755 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1757 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1758 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1759 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1760 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1761 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1763 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1764 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1765 used by default when no-err is given.
1768 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1769 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1771 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1772 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1773 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1774 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1775 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1777 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1778 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1779 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1780 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1782 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1784 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1786 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1788 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1789 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1790 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1791 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1795 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1796 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1798 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1799 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1802 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1803 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1804 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1805 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1808 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1809 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1810 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1811 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1812 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1813 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1814 followup to PR #377.
1817 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1818 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1821 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1822 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1823 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1849 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1850 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1852 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1853 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1854 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1855 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1856 have to be made anyway).
1859 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1860 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1861 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1864 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1865 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1866 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1869 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1870 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1871 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1873 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1874 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1875 edit numbers of the version.
1876 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1878 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1879 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1880 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1882 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1883 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1885 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1886 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1887 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1889 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1890 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1892 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1893 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1895 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1896 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1898 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1899 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1901 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1903 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1905 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1906 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1907 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1909 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1910 representations in a platform independent manner.
1911 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1913 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1914 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1915 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1917 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1919 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1921 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1922 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1924 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1926 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1928 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1929 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
1930 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1932 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1934 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1936 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1937 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1939 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1940 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1942 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1943 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1945 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1946 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1948 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1950 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1952 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1953 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1955 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1956 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1958 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1959 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1961 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1963 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1964 the 0.9.6 release series:
1966 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1967 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1969 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1971 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1974 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1975 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1977 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1978 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1980 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1981 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1982 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1983 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1985 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1986 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1987 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1989 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1990 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1991 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1992 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1994 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1995 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1996 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1999 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2000 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2001 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2002 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2003 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2004 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2005 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2006 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2009 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2010 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2011 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2014 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2015 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2016 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2017 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2018 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2020 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2021 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2023 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2024 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2027 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2028 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2029 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2030 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2031 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2032 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2035 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2036 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2037 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2040 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2041 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2044 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2045 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2046 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2047 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2048 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2049 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2050 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2053 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2054 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2055 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2056 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2057 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2058 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2061 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2062 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2063 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2064 declaration has been changed from
2067 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2068 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2069 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2070 has been changed into
2071 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2073 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2074 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2075 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2077 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2078 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2080 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2081 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2082 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2083 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2084 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2085 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2086 always load it have also been added.
2089 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2090 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2091 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2093 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2095 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2096 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2097 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2099 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2100 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2101 command line option can be used to specify an
2105 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2106 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2109 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2110 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2111 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2114 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2115 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2116 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2117 to work with the new engine framework.
2118 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2120 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2121 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2122 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2123 to work with the new engine framework.
2126 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2127 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2128 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2130 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2131 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2133 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2134 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2135 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2136 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2138 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2140 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2141 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2143 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2144 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2146 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2147 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2148 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2151 *) Add new functions
2153 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2154 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2155 These are similar to
2158 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2159 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2160 still in the error queue.
2161 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2163 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2165 default_algorithms = ALL
2166 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2169 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2172 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2175 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2176 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2177 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2178 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2180 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2181 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2183 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2184 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2186 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2187 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2190 *) New functions/macros
2192 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2193 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2194 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2195 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2197 to request calling a callback function
2199 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2200 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2202 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2203 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2204 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2205 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2206 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2207 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2208 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2209 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2210 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2211 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2213 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2214 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2217 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2218 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2219 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2220 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2221 the configuration scripts.
2223 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2224 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2225 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2227 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2228 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2230 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2231 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2232 when reusing an existing buffer.
2235 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2236 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2239 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2240 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2243 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2244 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2245 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2246 has the same effect.
2247 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2249 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2250 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2251 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2252 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2253 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2254 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2257 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2258 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2259 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2260 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2262 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2263 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2264 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2265 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2267 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2268 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2271 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2272 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2273 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2274 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2275 default), and then completely removed.
2278 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2279 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2280 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2281 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2282 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2283 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2284 particular extension is supported.
2287 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2288 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2291 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2292 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2293 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2294 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2295 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2296 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2297 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2298 requires the destination to be valid.
2300 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2301 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2304 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2305 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2306 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2309 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2310 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2312 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2313 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2314 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2315 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2316 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2317 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2318 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2319 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2320 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2321 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2322 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2323 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2324 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2325 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2326 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2327 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2328 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2329 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2330 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2334 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2337 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2338 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2339 become part of libeay.num as well.
2342 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2343 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2344 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2345 false once a handshake has been completed.
2346 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2347 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2348 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2349 client has followed the request.)
2352 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2353 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2354 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2355 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2357 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2358 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2359 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2362 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2365 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2366 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2367 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2370 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2371 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2374 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2375 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2376 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2377 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2380 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2381 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2382 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2383 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2384 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2385 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2388 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2389 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2390 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2391 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2392 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2393 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2394 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2395 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2398 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2399 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2402 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2405 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2406 md_data void pointer.
2409 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2410 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2411 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2412 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2413 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2414 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2417 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2418 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2419 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2420 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2421 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2422 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2423 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2424 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2425 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2426 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2427 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2428 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2429 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2430 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2431 rather than letting it slide.
2433 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2434 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2435 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2438 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2439 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2440 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2441 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2442 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2443 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2444 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2445 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2446 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2449 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2450 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2451 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2452 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2453 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2455 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2458 *) Add EVP test program.
2461 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2464 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2465 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2466 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2467 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2468 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2471 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2472 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2473 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2474 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2475 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2476 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2477 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2479 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2480 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2481 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2486 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2487 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2488 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2489 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2490 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2494 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2495 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2496 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2497 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2500 des_key_schedule ks;
2502 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2503 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2505 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2508 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2509 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2510 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2511 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2512 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2513 functions prevents this.
2516 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2519 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2520 correct _ecb suffix.
2523 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2524 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2525 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2526 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2527 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2530 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2533 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2534 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2535 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2536 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2538 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2539 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2541 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2542 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2543 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2544 via Richard Levitte]
2546 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2547 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2548 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2549 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2552 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2555 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2556 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2570 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2571 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2573 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2574 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2575 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2576 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2577 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2578 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2581 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2582 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2585 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2586 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2587 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2588 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2590 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2591 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2592 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2593 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2594 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2595 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2599 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2600 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2601 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2602 and interrupts/cancellations.
2605 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2606 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2609 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2610 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2611 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2613 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2614 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2618 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2619 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2620 than this minimum value is recommended.
2623 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2624 that are easily reachable.
2627 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2628 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2630 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2632 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2633 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2634 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2635 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2638 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2639 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2640 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2643 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2644 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2645 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2646 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2647 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2648 internally such as S/MIME.
2650 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2651 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2652 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2654 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2658 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2659 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2660 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2661 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2663 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2665 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2667 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2668 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2669 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2673 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2674 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2675 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2676 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2677 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2678 a window system and the like.
2681 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2682 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2685 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2686 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2687 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2688 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2689 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2690 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2691 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2692 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2693 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2697 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2698 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2702 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2703 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2704 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2705 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2706 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2707 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2708 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2709 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2712 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2713 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2714 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2715 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2716 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2717 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2718 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2719 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2720 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2721 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2722 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2723 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2724 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2725 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2726 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2727 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2728 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2731 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2732 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2733 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2734 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2735 internal engine_int.h header.
2738 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2739 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2740 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2741 modify their own ones).
2744 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2745 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2746 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2747 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2748 later on via ctrl() commands.
2749 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2750 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2751 structural references.
2752 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2753 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2754 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2755 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2756 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2757 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2758 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2759 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2760 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2761 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2762 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2763 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2766 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2767 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2768 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2769 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2770 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2771 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2772 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2773 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2776 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2777 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2780 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2781 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2784 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2785 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2786 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2787 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2788 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2789 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2790 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2793 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2794 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2795 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2796 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2797 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2799 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2800 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2804 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2806 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2807 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2808 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2810 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2811 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2813 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2814 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2815 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2817 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2818 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2820 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2821 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2823 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2825 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2826 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2827 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2830 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2831 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2834 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2835 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2836 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2837 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2838 is 40 of more characters long.
2841 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2842 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2846 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2847 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2850 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2851 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2855 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2857 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2858 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2861 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2863 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2864 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2865 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2867 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2868 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2870 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2873 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2877 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2878 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2879 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2880 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2882 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2884 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2885 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2887 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2888 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2889 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2890 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2891 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2892 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2894 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2895 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2897 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2898 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2900 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2901 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2903 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2904 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2905 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2906 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2908 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2909 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2911 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2912 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2914 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2915 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2916 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2917 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2918 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2921 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2922 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2923 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2924 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2927 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2928 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2929 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2933 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2934 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2935 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2936 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2937 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2938 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2939 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2940 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2944 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2945 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2948 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2949 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2950 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2951 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2954 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2955 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2956 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2957 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2958 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2959 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2960 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2961 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2962 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2963 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2966 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2967 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2968 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2969 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2970 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2971 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2972 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2973 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2975 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2976 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2977 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2978 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2981 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2982 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2983 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2984 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2986 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2987 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2988 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2989 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2990 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2994 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2995 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2996 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2997 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3001 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3002 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3003 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3006 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3007 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3008 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3009 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3010 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3013 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3016 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3017 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3018 option to ocsp utility.
3021 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3022 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3023 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3024 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3025 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3026 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3027 the request is nonce-less.
3030 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3031 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3032 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3035 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3036 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3037 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3040 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3041 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3042 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3043 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3044 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3047 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3048 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3052 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3053 additional certificates supplied.
3056 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3057 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3061 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3062 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3065 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3066 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3067 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3068 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3069 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3070 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3071 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3072 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3073 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3075 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3076 request to response.
3079 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3080 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3081 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3082 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3083 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3084 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3085 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3086 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3087 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3088 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3089 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3092 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3093 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3094 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3095 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3098 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3099 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3101 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3102 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3103 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3106 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3107 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3108 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3109 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3110 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3112 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3113 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3114 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3117 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3118 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3119 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3120 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3121 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3122 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3123 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3124 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3126 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3127 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3128 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3129 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3130 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3131 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3134 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3135 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3136 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3137 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3138 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3139 printout format cleaned up.
3142 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3143 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3144 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3145 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3146 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3147 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3148 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3149 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3152 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3153 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3154 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3155 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3156 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3157 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3158 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3159 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3162 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3163 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3164 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3165 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3167 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3169 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3170 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3171 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3172 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3175 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3176 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3177 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3178 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3180 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3182 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3183 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3184 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3185 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3187 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3188 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3190 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3191 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3192 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3195 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3196 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3197 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3200 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3201 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3202 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3203 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3204 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3205 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3206 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3207 functions are provided:
3209 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3210 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3211 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3212 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3214 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3215 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3216 extended allocation function is enabled.
3217 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3218 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3219 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3221 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3222 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3223 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3224 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3225 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3228 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3229 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3230 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3232 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3233 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3234 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3237 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3238 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3239 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3240 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3241 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3242 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3243 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3244 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3245 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3248 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3249 provide utility functions which an application needing
3250 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3251 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3252 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3254 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3255 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3256 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3257 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3258 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3259 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3260 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3261 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3262 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3264 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3265 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3266 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3267 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3270 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3271 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3272 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3273 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3274 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3275 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3276 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3277 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3278 will be added elsewhere.
3281 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3282 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3283 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3284 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3287 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3288 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3289 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3290 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3291 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3292 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3293 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3294 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3295 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3296 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3297 to produce the required SET OF.
3300 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3301 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3302 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3305 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3306 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3307 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3308 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3309 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3310 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3313 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3314 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3315 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3318 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3319 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3320 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3323 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3324 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3325 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3326 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3327 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3330 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3331 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3334 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3335 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3336 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3337 certifcates and CRLs.
3340 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3341 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3342 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3345 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3346 entries for variables.
3349 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3350 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3351 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3352 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3355 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3356 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3357 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3358 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3359 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3360 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3363 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3364 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3366 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3367 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3368 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3371 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3375 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3376 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3377 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3378 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3379 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3380 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3383 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3386 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3387 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3388 for now but they will eventually go away.
3391 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3392 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3393 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3394 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3395 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3396 has also been converted to the new form.
3399 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3400 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3401 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3402 for negative moduli.
3405 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3406 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3409 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3413 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3414 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3415 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3416 type-specific callbacks.
3419 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3421 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3422 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3424 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3425 in sections depending on the subject.
3428 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3432 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3433 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3434 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3435 be handled deterministically).
3436 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3438 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3439 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3440 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3443 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3446 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3447 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3448 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3449 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3450 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3453 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3454 sign of the number in question.
3456 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3458 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3459 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3460 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3461 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3462 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3465 *) New function BN_swap.
3468 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3469 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3470 results on negative inputs.
3473 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3474 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3475 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3478 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3479 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3480 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3481 and add new functions:
3490 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3494 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3496 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3497 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3499 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3500 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3501 be reduced modulo m.
3502 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3505 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3506 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3507 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3509 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3510 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3511 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3512 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3513 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3514 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3519 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3520 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3521 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3522 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3523 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3525 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3526 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3527 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3531 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3534 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3535 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3538 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3539 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3540 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3541 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3545 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3548 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3551 *) Add the following functions:
3553 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3555 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3557 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3559 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3560 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3561 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3562 libraries unless it's really needed.
3564 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3565 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3566 declarations (they differed!).
3569 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3572 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3575 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3578 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3579 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3582 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3583 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3584 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3586 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3587 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3590 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3593 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3596 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3599 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3600 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3601 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3603 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3604 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3605 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3606 different shared library filenames on each system.
3609 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3612 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3613 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3614 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3616 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3619 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3620 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3621 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3622 binary backward compatibility.
3623 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3624 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3625 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3629 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3630 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3631 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3632 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3636 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3639 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3640 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3641 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3642 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3646 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3649 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3651 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3652 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3653 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3655 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3657 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3659 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3660 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3663 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3665 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3667 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3668 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3670 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3671 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3675 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3676 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3680 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3681 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3682 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3683 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3685 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3686 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3689 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3691 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3692 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3693 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3694 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3697 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3698 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3699 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3700 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3701 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3703 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3704 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3705 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3706 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3707 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3708 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3709 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3710 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3711 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3714 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3716 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3717 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3718 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3719 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3720 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3722 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3723 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3724 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3726 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3728 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3729 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3730 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3731 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3732 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3733 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3736 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3737 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3738 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3739 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3740 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3743 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3744 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3745 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3747 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3748 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3749 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3753 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3754 being properly terminated.
3757 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3758 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3759 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3760 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3762 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3763 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3764 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3765 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3766 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3767 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3768 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3770 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3772 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3773 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3776 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3777 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3778 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3779 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3780 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3781 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3782 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3783 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3785 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3786 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3787 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3788 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3789 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3791 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3792 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3795 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3797 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3798 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3799 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3801 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3803 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3804 and get fix the header length calculation.
3805 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3806 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3809 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3810 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3811 assertions could call abort()).
3812 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3814 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3816 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3817 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3818 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3820 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3822 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3823 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3824 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3827 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3831 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3832 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3833 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3835 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3836 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3837 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3838 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3839 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3843 *) Changes in security patch:
3845 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3846 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3847 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3850 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3851 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3852 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3853 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3854 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3856 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3858 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3860 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3861 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3862 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3864 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3865 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3866 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3868 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3869 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3870 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3872 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3874 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3875 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3876 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3878 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3879 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3881 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3882 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3883 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3884 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3885 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3886 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3889 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3890 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3891 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3892 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3895 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3898 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3899 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3900 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3901 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3902 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3903 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3905 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3906 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3907 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3908 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3909 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3912 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3913 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3914 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3915 BN_generate_prime().)
3917 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3918 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3919 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3923 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3924 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3927 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3928 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3929 when using non-blocking I/O.
3930 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3932 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3933 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3935 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3936 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3939 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3940 configuration for the versions before that.
3941 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3943 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3944 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3945 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3946 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3949 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3950 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3951 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3954 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3958 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3959 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3960 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3962 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3963 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3965 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3966 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3967 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3968 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3969 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3970 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3971 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3974 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3975 using a local variable.
3976 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3978 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3979 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3980 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3982 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3985 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3986 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3988 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3989 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3990 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3992 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3994 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3995 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3996 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3997 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4000 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4004 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4005 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4006 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4007 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4008 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4010 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4011 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4012 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4014 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4015 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4016 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4018 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4019 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4020 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4021 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4023 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4024 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4025 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4027 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4029 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4030 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4032 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4034 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4035 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4036 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4037 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4039 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4040 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4041 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4042 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4044 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4045 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4047 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4048 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4049 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4052 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4053 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4054 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4056 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4058 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4059 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4060 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4061 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4062 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4063 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4064 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4067 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4068 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4069 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4070 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4072 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4073 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4074 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4075 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4076 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4077 the client will at least see that alert.
4080 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4084 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4085 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4086 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4088 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4089 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4090 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4091 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4094 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4095 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4096 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4098 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4099 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4100 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4101 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4102 may leak via logfiles.)
4104 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4105 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4106 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4107 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4111 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4112 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4115 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4116 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4117 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4118 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4119 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4122 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4123 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4125 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4126 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4127 followed by modular reduction.
4128 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4130 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4131 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4134 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4135 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4136 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4137 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4140 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4143 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4144 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4147 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4148 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4149 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4150 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4151 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4152 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4154 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4156 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4157 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4158 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4159 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4160 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4162 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4165 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4166 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4167 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4168 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4169 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4170 to allow the necessary settings.
4173 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4174 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4175 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4176 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4179 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4180 dh->length and always used
4182 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4184 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4185 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4186 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4187 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4188 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4193 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4195 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4201 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4202 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4203 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4204 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4206 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4207 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4208 always reject numbers >= n.
4211 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4212 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4213 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4214 variable) is not atomic.
4217 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4218 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4219 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4220 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4222 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4223 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4225 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4227 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4229 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4232 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4234 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4235 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4236 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4237 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4238 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4239 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4240 to traverse all of 'state'.
4242 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4243 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4244 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4246 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4247 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4249 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4250 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4251 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4252 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4253 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4254 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4255 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4256 further strengthens the PRNG.
4259 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4262 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4263 an error message in this case.
4266 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4269 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4270 positive and less than q.
4273 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4274 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4276 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4278 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4279 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4283 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4285 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4286 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4287 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4288 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4289 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4290 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4291 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4294 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4295 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4296 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4297 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4299 Both problems are now fixed.
4302 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4303 (previously it was 1024).
4306 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4307 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4310 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4313 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4314 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4315 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4318 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4319 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4320 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4321 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4322 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4323 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4324 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4325 environment variables.
4327 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4328 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4329 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4332 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4333 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4334 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4335 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4336 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4337 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4340 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4344 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4346 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4347 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4349 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4350 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4351 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4352 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4356 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4357 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4358 amount of data available.
4359 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4360 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4362 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4363 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4364 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4365 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4368 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4369 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4373 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4374 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4375 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4376 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4379 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4382 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4385 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4386 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4388 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4390 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4391 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4392 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4393 (but broken) behaviour.
4396 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4398 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4400 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4401 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4404 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4408 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4409 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4411 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4414 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4415 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4416 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4418 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4419 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4420 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4423 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4424 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4427 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4428 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4430 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4432 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4434 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4435 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4436 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4437 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4440 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4443 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4444 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4445 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4447 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4450 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4452 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4453 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4454 but the code is actually correct.
4457 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4458 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4459 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4460 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4461 and leaves the highest bit random.
4462 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4464 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4465 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4466 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4467 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4468 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4469 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4470 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4473 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4476 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4477 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4480 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4481 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4482 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4483 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4487 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4488 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4489 and break the signature.
4491 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4493 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4497 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4498 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4499 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4500 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4501 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4504 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4505 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4507 *) ./config script fixes.
4508 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4510 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4513 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4514 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4515 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4516 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4517 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4519 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4520 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4523 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4524 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4527 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4528 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4529 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4530 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4532 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4533 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4535 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4536 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4537 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4538 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4539 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4541 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4544 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4547 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4550 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4553 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4554 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4557 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4558 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4559 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4560 result of the server certificate verification.)
4563 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4564 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4565 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4569 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4570 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4571 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4572 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4573 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4574 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4575 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4576 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4579 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4580 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4581 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4582 happening the other way round.
4585 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4586 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4589 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4590 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4591 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4592 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4595 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4596 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4598 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4600 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4601 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4602 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4605 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4607 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4609 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4613 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4615 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4616 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4617 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4618 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4619 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4621 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4622 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4626 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4629 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4631 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4632 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4633 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4634 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4635 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4636 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4637 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4638 by the Finished messages.
4641 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4642 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4644 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4645 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4646 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4647 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4648 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4652 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4653 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4654 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4655 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4656 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4657 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4658 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4659 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4660 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4664 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4665 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4666 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4667 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4669 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4670 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4671 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4672 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4673 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4676 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4677 been tested well enough.
4680 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4681 it can return incorrect results.
4682 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4683 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4686 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4687 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4688 include zero length content when signing messages.
4691 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4692 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4695 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4698 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4702 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4703 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4704 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4705 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4706 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4707 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4710 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4711 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4713 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4714 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4716 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4717 random number < q in the DSA library.
4720 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4721 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4722 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4723 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4724 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4725 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4726 just makes things more complicated.)
4729 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4733 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4734 work better on such systems.
4735 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4737 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4738 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4739 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4742 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4743 if there was more than one signature.
4744 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4746 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4747 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4748 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4749 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4752 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4753 rather than always using the current time.
4756 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4757 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4758 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4759 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4760 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4761 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4763 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4764 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4766 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4768 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4769 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4770 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4771 the same hash value.
4773 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4774 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4775 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4776 with X509_STORE internally.
4778 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4779 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4781 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4782 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4783 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4784 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4785 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4786 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4787 entirely (maybe later...).
4789 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4791 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4792 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4793 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4794 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4795 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4796 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4797 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4798 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4800 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4801 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4803 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4804 to customise the verify behaviour.
4807 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4808 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4811 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4812 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4813 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4814 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4815 request is improperly encoded.
4818 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4819 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4822 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4823 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4825 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4826 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4830 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4831 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4832 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4835 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4836 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4837 BIO/fp routines also added.
4840 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4841 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4843 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4844 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4845 demos/state_machine.
4848 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4849 generation and verification.
4852 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4853 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4854 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4855 encode and decode it manually.
4858 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4860 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4862 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4863 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4864 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4865 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4867 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4868 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4869 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4870 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4871 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4874 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4877 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4878 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4879 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4881 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4882 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4883 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4884 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4885 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4886 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4887 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4888 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4890 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4891 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4893 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4895 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4896 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4897 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4901 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4902 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4903 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4904 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4908 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4910 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4913 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4914 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4915 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4916 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4917 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4918 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4919 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4920 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4921 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4922 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4923 short or long names are found.
4926 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4927 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4929 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4930 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4931 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4932 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4934 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4935 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4936 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4937 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4940 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4941 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4942 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4945 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4946 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4947 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4948 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4949 to allow the various flags to be set.
4952 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4953 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4954 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4955 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4956 dates to be checked.
4959 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4960 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4961 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4964 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4965 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4966 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4969 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4970 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4973 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4974 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4975 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4976 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4977 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4978 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4981 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4982 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4986 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4990 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4991 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4992 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4993 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4994 form signing output easier to verify.
4997 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5000 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5001 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5002 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5003 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5004 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5005 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5006 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5007 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5008 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5009 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5012 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5014 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5015 the syntax given in objects.README.
5016 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5018 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5021 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5022 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5023 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5024 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5025 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5026 consistent name changes.
5029 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5032 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5033 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5034 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5035 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5038 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5039 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5040 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5044 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5045 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5046 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5047 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5050 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5051 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5052 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5053 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5054 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5055 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5056 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5057 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5058 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5059 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5060 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5063 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5064 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5065 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5066 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5067 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5068 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5069 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5070 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5071 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5072 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5075 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5076 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5077 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5078 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5080 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5081 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5082 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5083 omit any duplicate addresses.
5086 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5087 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5090 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5091 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5092 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5093 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5094 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5097 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5099 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5100 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5101 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5102 Free => OPENSSL_free
5105 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5106 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5109 *) CygWin32 support.
5110 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5112 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5113 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5114 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5115 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5116 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5120 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5121 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5122 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5123 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5124 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5125 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5126 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5129 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5130 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5131 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5132 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5133 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5134 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5135 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5136 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5137 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5138 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5139 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5142 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5143 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5144 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5145 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5146 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5148 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5149 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5150 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5151 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5152 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5154 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5157 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5158 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5159 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5160 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5162 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5164 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5167 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5168 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5169 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5172 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5173 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5174 any installed hardware versions can.
5177 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5178 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5179 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5183 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5184 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5185 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5186 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5187 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5189 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5190 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5193 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5194 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5197 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5198 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5199 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5203 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5206 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5207 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5208 but no ssl client purpose.
5209 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5211 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5212 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5213 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5214 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5215 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5216 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5217 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5218 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5219 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5220 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5221 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5224 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5225 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5226 be obtained from the error queue.
5229 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5230 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5231 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5232 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5235 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5238 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5239 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5240 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5241 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5242 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5245 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5246 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5247 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5248 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5249 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5252 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5253 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5254 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5256 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5258 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5259 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5260 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5261 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5262 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5263 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5264 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5265 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5266 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5267 or "the configuration storage API"...
5269 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5271 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5272 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5274 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5276 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5278 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5279 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5280 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5281 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5282 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5283 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5284 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5286 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5287 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5290 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5291 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5292 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5293 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5296 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5297 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5298 them in a portable way.
5299 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5301 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5303 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5305 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5306 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5308 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5309 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5310 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5313 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5314 was larger than the MD block size.
5315 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5317 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5318 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5319 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5320 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5324 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5325 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5326 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5328 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5330 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5332 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5333 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5334 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5335 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5336 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5337 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5339 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5340 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5342 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5343 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5346 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5349 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5350 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5352 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5353 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5354 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5355 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5358 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5359 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5360 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5361 does not suppress any output.
5364 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5365 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5366 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5367 with all the associated security issues.
5369 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5370 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5371 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5372 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5373 use the value in the default purpose.
5376 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5377 and fix a memory leak.
5380 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5381 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5382 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5383 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5386 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5387 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5388 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5389 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5392 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5393 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5394 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5397 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5398 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5401 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5402 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5406 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5407 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5410 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5411 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5412 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5415 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5416 number generation fails.
5419 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5422 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5423 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5425 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5428 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5429 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5431 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5432 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5434 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5436 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5437 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5440 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5441 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5443 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5444 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5447 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5448 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5449 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5450 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5451 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5452 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5454 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5455 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5456 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5460 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5461 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5462 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5463 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5464 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5465 counter, some don't.)
5466 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5467 counters or duplicate objects.
5470 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5471 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5474 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5475 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5476 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5478 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5479 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5480 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5484 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5485 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5488 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5489 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5490 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5494 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5495 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5496 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5499 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5500 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5501 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5502 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5503 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5504 should work without changes.
5507 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5508 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5509 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5510 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5511 must be defined. E.g.,
5512 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5513 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5514 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5515 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5517 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5521 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5522 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5523 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5526 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5527 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5528 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5529 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5532 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5533 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5534 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5535 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5536 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5537 is prompted for as usual.
5540 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5541 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5542 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5543 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5545 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5546 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5547 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5548 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5551 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5554 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5558 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5561 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5564 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5568 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5571 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5574 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5575 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5578 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5579 options to produce them.
5582 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5583 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5586 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5590 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5591 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5592 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5593 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5594 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5595 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5596 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5599 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5602 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5603 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5604 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5607 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5608 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5610 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5611 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5614 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5615 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5616 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5620 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5621 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5623 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5624 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5625 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5626 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5627 generation becomes much faster.
5629 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5630 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5631 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5632 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5633 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5634 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5635 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5636 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5637 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5638 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5641 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5642 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5643 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5644 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5645 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5646 trial division stage.
5649 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5653 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5656 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5659 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5660 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5661 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5665 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5666 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5667 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5670 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5671 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5672 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5673 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5675 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5676 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5679 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5682 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5683 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5684 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5685 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5688 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5689 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5690 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5693 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5694 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5695 (instead of parameters) in future.
5698 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5699 when a new cipher list is set.
5702 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5703 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5706 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5707 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5708 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5710 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5711 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5712 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5713 an error is flagged.
5715 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5716 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5717 the readability was also increased :-)
5718 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5720 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5721 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5722 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5723 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5727 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5728 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5731 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5732 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5733 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5734 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5737 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5738 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5739 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5740 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5741 because they handle more complex structures.)
5744 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5745 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5746 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5747 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5749 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5750 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5751 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5752 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5753 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5754 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5755 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5758 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5759 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5760 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5761 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5762 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5765 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5768 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5769 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5770 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5771 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5772 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5775 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5779 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5780 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5781 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5782 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5785 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5788 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5789 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5790 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5791 international characters are used.
5793 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5794 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5795 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5799 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5800 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5801 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5804 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5805 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5806 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5807 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5808 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5809 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5811 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5812 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5813 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5814 be handled by the string table functions.
5816 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5817 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5818 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5819 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5820 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5824 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5825 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5826 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5827 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5828 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5830 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5831 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5832 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5833 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5836 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5837 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5838 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5839 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5840 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5844 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5845 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5846 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5847 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5848 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5849 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5850 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5851 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5853 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5854 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5855 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5858 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5859 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5860 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5861 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5862 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5863 support to pkcs8 application.
5866 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5867 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5868 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5869 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5870 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5871 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5874 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5875 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5876 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5877 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5878 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5882 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5883 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5884 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5885 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5889 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5890 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5891 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5892 and any application specific purposes.
5894 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5895 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5896 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5897 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5898 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5899 if the certificate is self signed.
5902 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5903 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5906 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5907 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5908 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5909 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5912 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5913 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5914 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5915 Update documentation.
5918 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5919 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5920 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5921 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5922 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5925 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5927 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5929 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5930 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5931 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5932 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5933 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5934 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5935 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5936 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5937 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5938 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5940 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5942 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5943 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5944 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5945 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5946 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5948 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5949 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5950 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5951 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5952 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5953 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5954 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5955 request additional information:
5956 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5957 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5959 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5960 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5961 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5964 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5965 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5968 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5971 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5972 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5974 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5975 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5976 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5980 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5981 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5982 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5984 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5985 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5986 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5987 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5988 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5989 included in OpenSSL.
5992 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5993 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5994 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5995 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5996 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5997 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6000 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6004 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6005 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6006 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6007 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6008 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6012 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6016 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6017 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6018 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6019 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6020 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6021 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6022 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6023 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6024 be maintained manually.
6026 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6027 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6028 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6029 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6030 work because people forget to call this function]
6031 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6032 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6033 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6036 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6037 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6038 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6039 should be discouraged from doing it.
6042 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6043 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6044 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6045 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6046 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6047 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6050 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6051 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6052 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6054 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6055 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6056 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6058 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6059 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6060 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6061 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6062 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6063 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6065 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6066 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6067 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6069 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6070 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6073 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6074 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6075 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6076 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6079 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6082 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6083 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6084 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6085 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6086 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6087 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6088 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6089 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6090 keys so we should be OK.
6092 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6093 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6094 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6095 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6096 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6097 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6098 stay in the name of compatibility.
6100 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6101 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6102 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6104 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6105 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6106 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6107 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6108 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6109 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6113 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6114 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6115 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6116 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6117 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6118 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6119 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6120 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6121 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6122 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6123 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6124 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6125 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6128 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6131 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6132 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6133 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6134 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6135 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6136 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6137 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6138 openssl verify ss.pem
6139 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6140 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6144 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6145 (and add it to external session representation).
6146 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6147 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6148 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6149 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6150 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6151 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6153 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6155 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6156 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6157 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6158 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6160 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6161 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6162 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6165 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6166 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6167 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6171 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6172 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6173 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6175 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6176 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6177 certificate auxiliary information.
6180 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6184 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6185 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6186 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6187 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6188 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6189 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6190 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6193 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6194 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6197 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6198 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6199 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6200 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6203 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6206 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6207 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6210 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6211 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6212 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6213 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6214 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6215 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6216 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6217 using the new 'x509' options.
6219 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6220 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6221 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6222 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6226 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6227 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6228 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6229 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6230 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6233 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6234 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6235 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6236 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6237 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6238 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6239 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6240 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6241 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6242 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6245 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6246 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6247 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6248 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6249 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6250 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6251 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6254 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6255 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6256 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6257 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6258 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6259 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6260 openssl.cnf for more info.
6263 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6264 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6265 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6266 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6267 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6268 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6269 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6270 md should be large enough anyway.
6273 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6274 for handling the random seed file.
6276 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6278 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6281 x509 (when signing).
6282 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6283 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6284 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6286 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6287 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6288 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6289 that support '-rand'.
6292 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6293 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6296 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6297 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6300 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6301 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6302 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6303 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6307 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6308 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6309 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6310 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6313 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6314 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6315 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6316 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6317 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6318 print out all the purposes.
6321 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6325 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6326 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6327 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6328 single function call.
6331 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6332 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6335 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6336 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6337 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6340 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6341 when producing the local key id.
6342 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6344 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6345 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6346 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6350 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6351 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6352 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6353 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6356 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6357 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6358 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6359 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6361 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6362 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6363 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6364 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6366 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6367 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6368 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6369 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6370 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6371 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6372 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6373 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6374 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6375 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6376 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6377 trivial: move one line.
6378 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6380 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6381 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6382 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6383 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6384 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6385 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6386 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6387 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6388 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6389 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6390 with an event loop for example.
6393 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6394 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6395 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6396 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6397 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6398 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6399 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6400 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6401 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6404 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6405 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6406 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6407 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6408 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6409 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6412 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6413 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6414 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6415 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6417 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6418 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6419 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6420 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6424 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6425 (still largely untested)
6428 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6429 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6432 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6433 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6436 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6437 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6438 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6441 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6442 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6443 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6444 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6445 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6448 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6451 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6452 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6453 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6454 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6455 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6459 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6460 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6463 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6466 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6467 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6468 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6469 are otherwise ignored at present.
6472 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6473 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6474 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6475 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6476 copied until the next read.
6479 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6480 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6481 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6484 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6485 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6486 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6487 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6488 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6489 associated functions.
6492 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6493 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6494 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6495 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6496 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6497 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6498 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6499 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6500 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6504 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6505 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6506 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6507 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6510 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6511 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6512 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6513 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6514 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6518 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6519 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6523 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6524 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6525 extensions to be obtained and added.
6528 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6529 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6532 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6534 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6535 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6537 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6538 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6540 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6544 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6545 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6546 DH parameters contain its length).
6548 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6549 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6550 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6551 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6552 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6553 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6554 utter importance to use
6555 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6557 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6558 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6559 attacks may become possible!
6562 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6565 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6566 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6569 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6570 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6571 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6575 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6576 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6577 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6578 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6579 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6580 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6581 private key operations.
6584 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6587 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6588 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6590 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6591 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6592 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6593 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6594 the password callback is called.
6595 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6597 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6599 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6600 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6601 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6602 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6603 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6604 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6607 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6608 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6609 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6610 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6611 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6612 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6615 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6618 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6619 delete an unused file.
6622 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6623 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6624 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6625 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6628 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6629 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6630 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6634 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6635 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6636 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6638 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6639 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6640 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6641 comparison" warnings.
6642 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6645 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6646 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6647 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6650 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6651 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6653 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6654 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6656 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6657 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6658 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6660 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6661 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6662 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6663 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6664 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6666 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6668 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6669 The interface is as follows:
6670 Applications can use
6671 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6672 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6673 "off" is now the default.
6674 The library internally uses
6675 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6676 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6677 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6679 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6680 even the default) are now avoided.
6682 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6683 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6684 than just having a counter.
6686 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6688 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6692 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6693 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6694 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6695 Initial "mode" flags are:
6697 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6698 a single record has been written.
6699 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6700 retries use the same buffer location.
6701 (But all of the contents must be
6705 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6708 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6709 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6711 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6712 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6713 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6716 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6717 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6719 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6721 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6722 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6723 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6724 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6726 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6727 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6729 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6730 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6731 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6732 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6733 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6734 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6737 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6738 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6739 necessary function names.
6742 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6743 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6744 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6745 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6748 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6749 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6750 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6753 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6754 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6755 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6756 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6758 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6762 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6763 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6764 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6767 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6768 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6772 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6773 for the encoded length.
6774 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6776 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6779 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6780 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6781 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6782 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6785 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6786 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6787 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6789 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6790 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6791 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6795 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6796 to use the new extension code.
6799 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6800 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6801 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6805 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6806 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6807 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6811 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6814 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6815 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6816 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6819 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6820 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6821 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6822 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6825 *) DES library cleanups.
6828 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6829 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6830 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6831 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6832 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6836 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6837 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6840 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6841 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6842 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6843 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6844 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6845 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6846 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6847 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6848 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6851 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6852 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6853 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6854 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6855 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6856 value doesn't matter.
6859 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6863 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6864 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6865 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6866 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6868 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6871 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6872 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6873 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6875 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6876 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6878 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6881 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6884 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6887 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6891 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6893 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6895 *) Updated some demos.
6896 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6898 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6901 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6904 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6907 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6908 instead of using a fixed path.
6911 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6914 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6918 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6920 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6921 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6922 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6924 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6925 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6926 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6927 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6928 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6929 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6930 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6931 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6932 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6933 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6936 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6937 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6940 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6941 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6942 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6943 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6944 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6946 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6949 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6950 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6951 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6954 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6957 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6958 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6959 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6960 key elements as negative integers.
6963 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6964 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6967 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6969 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6970 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6971 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6974 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6975 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6976 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6977 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6978 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6981 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6984 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6985 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6986 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6987 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6989 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6990 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6991 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6993 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6994 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6995 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6996 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6997 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6998 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6999 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7000 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7001 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7003 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7004 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7005 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7006 does not influence s as it used to.
7008 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7009 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7010 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7011 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7012 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7013 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7016 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7017 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7018 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7022 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7023 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7024 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7028 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7029 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7030 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7034 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7035 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7038 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7039 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7044 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7045 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7047 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7048 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7050 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7053 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7056 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7057 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7059 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7060 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7061 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7065 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7066 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7067 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7068 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7069 now it really counts the depth.
7072 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7073 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7074 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7075 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7076 didn't match the private key).
7078 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7079 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7080 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7083 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7086 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7090 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7091 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7092 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7095 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7098 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7099 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7100 such as /usr/local/bin.
7103 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7104 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7106 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7109 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7110 extension adding in x509 utility.
7113 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7116 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7120 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7123 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7124 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7125 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7126 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7127 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7128 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7129 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7130 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7131 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7132 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7135 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7138 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7139 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7142 *) Fix some race conditions.
7145 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7146 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7149 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7152 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7153 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7154 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7155 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7157 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7158 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7160 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7161 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7162 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7164 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7165 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7167 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7170 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7171 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7173 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7176 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7177 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7179 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7180 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7183 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7184 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7187 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7188 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7191 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7192 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7195 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7196 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7199 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7200 support typesafe stack.
7203 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7204 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7206 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7207 old X509V3 handling code.
7210 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7213 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7216 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7219 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7220 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7222 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7223 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7224 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7225 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7226 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7229 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7230 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7231 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7232 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7233 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7235 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7236 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7237 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7238 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7240 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7241 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7242 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7243 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7245 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7246 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7247 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7248 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7249 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7250 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7253 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7254 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7257 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7258 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7261 *) Tweaks to Configure
7262 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7264 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7268 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7271 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7272 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7275 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7276 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7277 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7280 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7283 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7284 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7287 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7288 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7289 to library startup routines.
7292 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7293 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7294 codes along the way.
7297 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7298 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7299 objects to objects.h
7302 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7303 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7306 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7307 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7309 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7310 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7311 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7313 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7314 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7315 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7317 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7318 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7319 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7322 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7324 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7325 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7328 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7329 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7330 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7331 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7332 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7334 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7335 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7336 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7338 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7340 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7342 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7344 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7345 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7347 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7348 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7349 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7350 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7352 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7355 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7356 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7357 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7358 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7361 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7362 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7363 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7366 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7367 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7368 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7369 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7370 installed as `perl').
7371 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7373 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7374 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7376 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7377 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7378 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7379 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7380 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7383 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7386 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7387 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7388 is horrible: I feel ill....
7391 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7392 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7393 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7394 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7397 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7398 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7400 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7401 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7402 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7403 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7405 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7406 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7407 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7408 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7409 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7410 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7412 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7414 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7415 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7417 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7418 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7420 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7423 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7424 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7428 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7429 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7430 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7431 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7432 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7433 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7434 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7435 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7436 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7437 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7438 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7440 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7443 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7444 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7445 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7446 for linking it into DSOs.
7447 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7449 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7453 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7454 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7455 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7456 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7457 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7458 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7460 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7461 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7462 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7463 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7464 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7465 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7466 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7468 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7469 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7470 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7474 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7475 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7476 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7477 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7480 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7481 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7482 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7483 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7484 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7488 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7489 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7490 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7491 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7492 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7494 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7495 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7496 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7498 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7499 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7501 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7502 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7503 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7504 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7505 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7508 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7509 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7510 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7511 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7512 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7513 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7514 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7517 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7519 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7520 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7523 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7524 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7526 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7527 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7530 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7531 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7532 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7533 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7534 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7536 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7537 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7538 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7539 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7540 no way to reconfigure them.
7541 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7542 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7543 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7544 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7545 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7546 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7548 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7549 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7550 recognized by the users.
7551 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7553 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7554 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7555 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7556 already masked variable.
7557 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7559 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7560 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7562 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7563 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7564 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7565 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7567 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7568 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7569 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7571 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7572 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7573 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7574 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7575 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7576 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7577 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7578 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7580 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7582 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7583 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7584 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7586 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7587 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7591 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7592 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7594 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7595 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7596 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7597 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7600 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7603 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7604 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7606 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7609 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7610 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7613 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7614 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7617 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7618 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7619 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7620 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7621 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7622 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7623 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7626 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7627 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7629 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7630 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7631 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7632 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7633 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7635 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7636 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7637 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7640 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7641 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7645 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7646 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7647 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7649 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7650 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7651 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7655 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7656 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7657 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7658 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7661 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7662 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7663 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7664 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7667 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7668 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7669 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7670 so it wasn't spotted.
7671 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7673 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7674 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7675 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7676 vectors if you have them.
7679 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7680 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7683 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7684 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7685 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7686 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7688 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7689 it will update them.
7692 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7693 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7694 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7695 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7696 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7697 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7698 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7699 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7701 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7702 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7703 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7704 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7705 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7706 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7707 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7708 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7709 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7710 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7712 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7713 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7714 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7715 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7716 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7719 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7723 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7724 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7726 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7727 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7729 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7730 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7733 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7734 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7736 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7737 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7739 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7742 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7746 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7747 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7748 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7749 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7751 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7754 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7757 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7760 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7761 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7764 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7765 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7769 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7770 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7773 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7774 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7775 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7778 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7779 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7780 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7781 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7782 properly to be processed.
7785 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7786 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7787 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7790 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7791 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7793 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7794 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7795 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7796 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7797 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7798 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7799 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7800 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7801 or delete all the .err files.
7804 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7805 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7806 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7807 to regenerate it if needed.
7808 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7809 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7811 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7812 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7814 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7815 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7816 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7817 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7818 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7821 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7822 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7824 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7825 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7827 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7828 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7829 error, but didn't set one).
7830 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7832 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7835 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7836 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7839 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7840 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7842 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7843 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7844 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7845 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7846 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7847 OID is not part of the table.
7850 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7851 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7854 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7857 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7858 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7862 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7863 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7865 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7867 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7869 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7870 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7872 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7873 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7875 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7876 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7878 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7879 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7882 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7883 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7886 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7887 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7889 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7890 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7892 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7893 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7895 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7896 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7898 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7899 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7900 unused in the certificate verification process.
7901 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7903 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7904 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7907 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7908 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7909 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7911 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7912 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7913 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7914 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7915 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7917 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7918 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7921 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7924 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7927 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7928 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7930 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7933 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7936 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7939 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7940 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7941 other error libraries.
7944 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7947 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7948 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7952 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7953 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7954 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7955 the new set of documenation files.
7956 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7958 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7959 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7960 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7961 number of arguments.
7962 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7964 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7967 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7968 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7969 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7971 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7974 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7978 unixware-2.0-pentium
7982 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7983 before they are needed.
7986 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7990 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7992 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7993 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7994 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7996 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7999 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8000 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8001 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8003 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8004 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8005 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8007 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8008 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8009 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8011 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8012 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8014 *) Updated the README file.
8015 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8017 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8018 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8019 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8021 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8022 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8023 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8025 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8026 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8027 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8028 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8029 o removed obsolete TODO file
8030 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8031 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8033 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8034 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8035 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

8038 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8039 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8041 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8044 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8045 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8046 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8048 [The OpenSSL Project]
8051 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8053 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8056 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8059 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8060 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8063 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8064 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8068 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8070 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8072 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8075 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8078 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8081 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8084 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8087 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8090 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8093 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8096 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8099 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8102 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8105 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8108 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8111 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8114 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8117 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8120 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8123 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8124 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8125 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8128 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8129 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8132 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8135 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8138 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8139 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8142 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8145 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8148 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8149 bytes sent in the client random.
