5 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
8 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
10 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
11 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
13 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
14 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
15 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
16 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
17 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
20 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
21 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
22 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
25 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
26 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
29 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
30 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
32 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
33 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
36 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
39 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
40 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
41 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
45 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
46 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
47 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
48 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
49 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
50 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
53 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
54 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
56 This work was sponsored by Google.
59 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
60 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
61 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
62 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
63 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
64 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
65 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
68 This work was sponsored by Google.
71 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
73 This work was sponsored by Google.
76 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
77 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
78 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
79 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
81 This work was sponsored by Google.
84 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
85 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
86 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
87 CRL functionality in future.
89 This work was sponsored by Google.
92 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
94 This work was sponsored by Google.
97 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
98 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
100 This work was sponsored by Google.
103 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
104 and URI types are currently supported.
106 This work was sponsored by Google.
109 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
110 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
111 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
112 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
113 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
114 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
115 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
116 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
118 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
119 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
120 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
122 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
123 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
124 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
125 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
127 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
128 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
129 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
130 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
131 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
132 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
133 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
134 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
136 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
138 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
139 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
140 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
142 This work was sponsored by Google.
145 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
148 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
149 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
150 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
153 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
154 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
157 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
158 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
161 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
162 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
163 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
164 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
165 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
166 content types and variants.
169 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
172 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
173 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
174 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
175 files from the associated perl scripts.
178 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
179 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
180 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
182 *) s390x assembler pack.
185 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
189 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
190 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
191 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
192 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
193 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
194 to use. For example, specify an option
196 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
198 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
199 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
200 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
201 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
202 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
203 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
205 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
206 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
207 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
208 return non-zero for success.
210 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
213 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
214 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
218 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
221 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
222 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
223 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
224 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
225 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
226 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
227 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
228 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
229 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
231 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
232 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
233 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
234 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
235 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
236 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
238 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
239 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
240 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
241 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
242 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
243 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
247 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
250 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
252 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
253 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
254 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
257 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
258 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
261 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
262 protection in servers so again support should be possible
263 with no application modification.
265 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
266 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
268 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
269 or server extensions to be examined.
271 This work was sponsored by Google.
274 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
275 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
276 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
278 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
279 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
281 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
283 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
284 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
285 to output in BER and PEM format.
288 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
289 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
290 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
291 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
292 -macopt options to dgst utility.
295 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
296 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
297 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
301 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
302 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
303 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
304 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
305 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
306 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
307 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
308 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
311 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
312 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
313 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
314 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
316 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
317 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
318 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
322 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
323 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
324 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
325 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
326 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
327 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
328 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
329 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
330 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
332 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
333 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
334 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
335 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
336 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
337 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
338 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
339 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
340 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
341 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
342 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
345 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
346 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
347 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
349 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
350 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
354 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
355 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
356 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
359 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
360 it yet and it is largely untested.
363 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
366 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
367 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
368 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
371 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
374 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
375 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
376 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
377 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
380 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
381 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
382 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
383 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
384 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
387 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
388 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
391 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
392 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
393 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
394 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
397 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
398 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
399 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
400 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
403 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
404 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
407 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
408 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
409 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
410 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
413 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
414 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
415 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
418 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
422 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
423 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
426 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
427 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
428 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
432 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
433 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
434 to free up any added signature OIDs.
437 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
438 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
439 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
440 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
443 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
444 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
445 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
446 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
447 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
448 the array representation useful in a more general context.
451 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
452 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
453 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
454 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
455 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
457 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
458 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
459 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
460 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
461 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
464 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
465 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
466 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
467 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
469 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
470 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
471 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
472 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
473 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
479 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
480 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
484 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
485 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
488 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
489 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
492 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
493 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
494 functional reference processing.
497 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
498 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
502 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
503 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
504 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
507 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
508 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
509 application to support multiple signers.
512 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
516 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
517 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
518 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
519 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
520 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
523 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
527 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
528 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
529 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
530 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
534 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
535 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
536 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
537 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
538 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
539 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
540 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
541 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
544 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
545 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
546 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
547 between digests and public key types.
550 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
551 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
552 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
553 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
556 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
557 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
561 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
564 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
568 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
569 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
570 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
571 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
576 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
578 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
580 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
582 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
583 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
584 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
585 functionality for RSA.
588 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
589 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
590 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
593 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
594 key API, doesn't do much yet.
597 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
598 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
599 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
602 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
603 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
606 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
607 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
610 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
611 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
615 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
616 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
617 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
621 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
622 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
623 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
624 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
625 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
626 of public and private key structures.
629 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
630 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
633 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
634 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
635 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
638 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
642 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
643 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
645 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
647 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
649 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
650 and response verification functionality.
651 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
653 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
654 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
655 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
656 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
657 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
658 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
659 server_name extension.
661 New functions (subject to change):
664 SSL_get_servername_type()
667 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
669 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
670 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
671 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
672 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
673 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
675 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
677 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
678 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
679 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
680 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
681 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
682 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
685 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
687 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
690 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
691 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
692 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
693 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
694 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
697 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
698 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
702 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
703 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
704 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
705 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
708 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
709 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
710 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
711 using the maximum available value.
714 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
715 in addition to the text details.
718 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
719 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
720 handle several customised structures at all.
723 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
724 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
725 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
728 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
731 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
732 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
733 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
736 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
737 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
738 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
741 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
742 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
746 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
749 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
752 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [xx XXX xxxx]
754 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
755 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
759 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
760 to handle some structures.
763 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
765 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
767 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
770 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
773 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
776 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
777 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
781 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
783 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
785 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
787 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
790 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
791 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
792 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
793 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
795 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
796 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
798 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
799 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
802 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
803 s_client and s_server.
806 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
807 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
809 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
810 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
812 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
813 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
814 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
815 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
816 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
819 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
821 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
822 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
825 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
826 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
827 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
828 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
830 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
831 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
833 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
835 *) Various precautionary measures:
837 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
839 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
840 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
841 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
843 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
844 outside the expected range.
846 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
849 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
851 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
852 the load fails. Useful for distros.
853 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
855 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
858 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
861 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
863 This work was sponsored by Logica.
866 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
867 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
868 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
870 This work was sponsored by Logica.
873 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
874 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
875 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
879 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
881 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
882 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
883 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
884 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
886 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
887 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
890 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
892 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
893 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
894 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
896 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
898 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
899 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
900 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
901 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
904 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
905 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
906 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
907 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
908 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
909 invalid read after the end of 'db').
910 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
912 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
914 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
915 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
916 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
917 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
918 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
920 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
921 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
923 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
924 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
925 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
926 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
927 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
929 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
931 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
932 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
933 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
934 sets may exist with different names.
937 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
938 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
939 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
940 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
941 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
942 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
943 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
944 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
945 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
947 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
949 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
950 implemention in the following ways:
952 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
955 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
956 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
957 ignored for embedded content.
959 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
960 with the enable-cms configuration option.
963 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
964 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
965 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
966 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
968 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
969 uncompresses any data passed through it.
972 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
973 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
976 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
977 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
978 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
979 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
980 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
981 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
985 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
986 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
987 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
991 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
992 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
993 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
994 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
995 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
996 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
997 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
998 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1000 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1001 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1002 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1003 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1004 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1005 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1006 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1008 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1009 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1010 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1011 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1012 to s_client and s_server.
1015 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1017 *) Fix various bugs:
1018 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1019 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1020 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1021 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1022 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1024 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1026 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1027 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1028 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1029 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1030 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1031 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1032 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1033 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1036 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1037 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1038 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1041 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1042 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1043 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1046 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1047 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1050 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1051 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1052 with no application modification.
1054 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1055 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1057 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1058 or server extensions to be examined.
1060 This work was sponsored by Google.
1063 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1064 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1065 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1066 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1067 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1068 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1069 server_name extension.
1071 New functions (subject to change):
1073 SSL_get_servername()
1074 SSL_get_servername_type()
1077 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1079 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1080 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1081 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1082 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1083 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1085 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1087 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1088 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1089 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1090 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1091 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1092 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1095 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1097 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1100 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1103 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1104 (which previously caused an internal error).
1107 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1110 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1111 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1113 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1114 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1115 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1117 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1118 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1119 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1120 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1122 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1123 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1124 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1125 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1127 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1128 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1129 information. For detailed background information, see
1130 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1131 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1132 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1133 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1134 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1135 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1136 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1137 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1138 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1139 remove a conditional branch.
1141 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1142 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1143 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1144 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1145 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1146 remains as a deprecated alias.
1148 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1149 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1150 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1151 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1153 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1154 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1155 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1156 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1157 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1158 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1159 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1160 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1162 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1164 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1165 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1166 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1167 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1168 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1169 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1170 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1171 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1172 in a different context.
1175 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1176 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1177 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1180 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1181 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1182 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1184 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1186 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1187 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1188 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1189 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1190 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1193 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1194 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1195 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1196 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1197 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1198 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1201 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1202 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1203 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1204 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1205 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1208 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1209 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1211 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1212 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1213 Improve header file function name parsing.
1216 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1217 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1220 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1222 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1223 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1224 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1226 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1227 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1229 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1230 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1232 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1233 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1234 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1236 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1237 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1238 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1239 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1240 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1241 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1242 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1243 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1244 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1246 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1247 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1248 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1249 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1250 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1252 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1253 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1254 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1255 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1256 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1257 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1258 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1259 multiple values to extend the available space.
1263 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1265 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1266 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1268 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1271 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1272 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1273 undesirable limitations.
1274 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1276 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1277 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1278 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1279 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1280 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1281 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1282 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1285 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1287 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1288 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1289 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1291 The latter two were purportedly from
1292 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1295 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1296 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1297 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1300 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1301 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1304 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1305 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1306 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1307 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1309 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1310 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1311 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1314 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1315 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1316 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1317 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1318 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1319 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1322 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1324 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1325 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1328 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1329 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1331 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1332 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1333 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1334 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1337 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1338 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1341 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1342 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1343 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1344 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1345 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1346 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1347 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1351 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1352 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1353 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1354 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1357 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1358 under VC++ build system.
1361 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1362 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1365 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1367 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1368 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1369 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1370 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1371 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1373 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1374 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1375 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1377 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1380 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1381 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1384 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1385 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1387 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1390 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1391 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1393 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1394 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1397 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1398 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1402 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1404 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1407 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1410 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1411 key into the same file any more.
1414 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1417 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1418 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1420 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1421 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1424 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1425 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1426 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1427 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1428 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1429 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1431 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1432 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1433 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1436 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1437 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1438 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1439 - add new function for parameter creation
1440 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1441 BN_BLINDING parameters
1442 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1443 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1444 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1448 *) Add support for DTLS.
1449 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1451 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1452 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1455 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1456 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1459 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1460 the apps/openssl applications.
1463 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1464 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1465 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1468 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1469 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1471 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1472 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1474 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1475 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1476 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1477 avoid this algorithm.)
1481 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1482 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1483 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1486 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1487 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1490 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1491 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1492 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1495 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1497 The blank line is mandatory.
1501 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1502 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1506 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1507 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1509 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1510 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1511 to support policy checking and print out.
1514 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1515 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1516 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1517 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1519 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1522 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1523 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1525 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1526 implementation contributed by IBM.
1527 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1529 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1530 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1531 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1532 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1534 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1535 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1537 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1538 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1539 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1540 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1541 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1542 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1545 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1546 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1547 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1548 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1549 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1550 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1551 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1554 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1557 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1558 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1559 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1560 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1561 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1562 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1563 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1564 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1567 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1568 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1569 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1570 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1573 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1576 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1579 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1580 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1581 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1582 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1583 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1584 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1585 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1588 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1589 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1592 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1593 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1594 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1597 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1598 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1599 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1603 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1604 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1607 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1608 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1609 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1610 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1613 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1614 initialised value as BN_new().
1615 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1617 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1620 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1621 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1622 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1623 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1624 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1625 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1626 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1627 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1628 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1629 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1630 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1631 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1632 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1633 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1634 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1636 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1637 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1638 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1639 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1642 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1643 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1644 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1645 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1646 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1647 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1648 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1649 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1650 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1653 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1654 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1655 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1656 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1657 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1658 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1659 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1662 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1663 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1664 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1665 these have been updated also.
1668 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1669 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1670 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1671 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1672 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1676 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1677 structure of type "other".
1680 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1681 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1682 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1683 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1684 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1685 situation in the script.
1686 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1688 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1689 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1690 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1691 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1692 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1693 used as premaster secret.
1694 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1696 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1697 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1698 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1700 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1701 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1703 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1704 control of the error stack.
1707 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1710 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1711 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1712 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1713 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1716 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1717 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1718 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1721 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1722 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1723 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1727 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1728 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1729 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1730 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1733 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1734 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1735 the following flags are defined:
1737 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1738 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1739 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1742 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1743 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1744 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1745 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1749 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1750 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1751 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1752 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1753 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1756 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1757 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1758 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1761 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1762 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1763 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1764 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1765 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1766 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1769 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1773 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1776 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1779 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1782 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1783 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1784 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1785 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1786 default implementation more easily.
1789 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1793 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1794 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1797 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1798 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1799 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1800 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1802 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1803 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1804 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1805 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1808 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1809 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1813 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1814 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1815 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1816 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1817 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1818 scalar * generator).
1819 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1821 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1822 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1823 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1827 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1828 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1829 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1830 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1831 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1832 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1833 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1834 linker additions, eg;
1835 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1838 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1839 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1840 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1843 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1844 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1845 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1849 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1850 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1851 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1852 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1855 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1856 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1857 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1858 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1859 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1860 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1861 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1862 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1863 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1864 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1866 Example for using the new callback interface:
1868 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1872 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1874 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1875 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1876 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1877 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1878 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1879 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1884 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1885 available to TLS with the number defined in
1886 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1889 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1890 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1892 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1893 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1894 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1895 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1897 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1898 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1900 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1901 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1905 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1906 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1909 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1910 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1911 and a macro that behave like
1912 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1914 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1917 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1918 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1919 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1921 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1923 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1926 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1927 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1928 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1929 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1931 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1932 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1933 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1934 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1935 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1936 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1937 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1938 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1940 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1941 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1944 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1945 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1947 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1948 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1949 files while avoiding the low level API.
1951 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1952 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1953 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1954 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1956 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1957 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1958 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1959 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1960 instead of the low level API.
1963 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1964 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1965 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1966 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1967 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1970 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1971 down to the template encoder.
1974 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1975 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1978 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1979 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1980 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1981 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1983 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1984 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1986 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1987 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1989 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1990 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1993 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1994 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1995 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1998 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1999 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2001 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2002 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2004 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2005 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2008 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2012 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2013 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m

2016 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2017 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2019 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2020 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2023 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2024 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2025 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2026 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2027 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2028 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2029 various internal method names.)
2031 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2032 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2034 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2035 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2037 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2038 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2040 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2041 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2042 methods are undefined.
2044 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2045 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2047 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2048 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2049 length of the modulus.
2051 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2052 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2054 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2055 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2057 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2058 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2060 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2061 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2062 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2065 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2066 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2067 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2068 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2070 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2071 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2072 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2073 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2075 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2076 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2078 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2079 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2080 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2081 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2082 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2084 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2085 This applies to the following functions:
2090 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2091 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2093 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2094 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2098 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2103 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2105 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2106 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2107 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2108 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2109 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2111 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2112 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2114 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2115 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2116 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2118 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2119 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2121 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2122 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2123 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2124 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2125 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2127 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2129 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2130 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2131 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2132 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2133 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2134 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2135 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2136 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2137 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2138 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2139 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2140 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2142 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2145 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2146 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2147 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2148 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2150 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2151 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2152 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2153 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2158 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2159 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2160 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2161 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2162 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2164 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2165 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2166 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2167 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2168 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2169 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2170 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2171 adding different types of curves.
2172 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2174 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2175 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2176 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2179 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2180 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2182 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2183 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2184 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2185 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2187 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2189 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2190 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2192 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2193 library. Most notably,
2194 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2195 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2196 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2197 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2198 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2199 extracted before the specific public key;
2200 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2201 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2203 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2204 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2206 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2207 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2208 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2209 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2211 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2212 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2213 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2215 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2216 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2217 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2218 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2219 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2220 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2224 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2226 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2227 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2228 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2229 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2230 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2231 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2232 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2233 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2234 in a different context.
2237 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2239 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2241 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2243 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2244 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2245 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2248 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2249 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2250 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2253 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2256 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2257 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2260 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2261 run algorithm test programs.
2264 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2267 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2268 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2269 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2270 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2271 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2274 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2275 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2278 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2280 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2281 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2282 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2284 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2285 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2287 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2288 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2290 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2291 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2292 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2294 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2295 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2296 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2297 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2298 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2299 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2300 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2303 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2305 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2306 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2308 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2309 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2310 undesirable limitations.
2311 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2313 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2315 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2316 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2317 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2319 The latter two were purportedly from
2320 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2323 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2324 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2325 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2328 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2329 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2332 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2334 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2335 module in FIPS mode.
2338 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2341 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2342 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2343 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2344 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2347 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2349 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2350 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2351 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2352 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2353 the difference induced by this change.
2356 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2358 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2359 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2360 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2361 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2362 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2364 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2365 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2366 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2368 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2369 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2372 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2373 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2374 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2375 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2379 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2380 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2381 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2382 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2383 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2385 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2386 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2387 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2388 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2389 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2390 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2392 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2394 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2395 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2396 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2397 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2398 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2401 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2405 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2406 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2407 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2410 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2411 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2412 structures constant.
2415 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2417 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2420 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2421 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2422 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2423 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2424 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2425 some needed definitions.
2428 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2431 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2432 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2433 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2434 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2437 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2439 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2440 server and client random values. Previously
2441 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2442 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2444 This change has negligible security impact because:
2446 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2449 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2452 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2453 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2456 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2459 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2461 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2464 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2465 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2466 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2468 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2471 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2472 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2475 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2476 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2477 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2479 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2482 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2483 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2484 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2488 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2489 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2490 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2491 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2493 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2494 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2495 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2496 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2500 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2502 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2503 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2504 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2505 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2506 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2509 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2512 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2513 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2515 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2516 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2517 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2518 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2519 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2520 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2521 rather than being initialized to 1.
2524 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2526 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2527 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2528 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2530 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2532 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2534 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2535 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2536 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2537 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2538 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2539 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2542 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2543 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2544 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2545 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2546 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2550 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2551 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2552 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2553 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2554 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2557 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2558 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2559 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2563 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2564 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2566 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2569 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2571 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2573 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2574 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2576 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2578 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2579 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2583 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2584 exiting on the first error in a request.
2587 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2588 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2592 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2593 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2594 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2595 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2597 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2598 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2601 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2602 blocks during encryption.
2605 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2606 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2607 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2608 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2612 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2613 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2614 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2615 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2616 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2620 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2622 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2623 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2624 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2625 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2628 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2629 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2630 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2631 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2632 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2634 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2635 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2636 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2637 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2638 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2639 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2640 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2641 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2642 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2645 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2646 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2647 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2648 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2651 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2652 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2655 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2657 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2658 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2659 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2660 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2661 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2663 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2664 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2665 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2667 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2668 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2669 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2670 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2671 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2673 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2674 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2675 used by default when no-err is given.
2678 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2679 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2681 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2682 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2683 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2684 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2685 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2687 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2688 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2689 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2690 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2692 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2694 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2696 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2698 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2699 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2700 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2701 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2705 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2706 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2708 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2709 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2712 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2713 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2714 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2715 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2718 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2719 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2720 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2721 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2722 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2723 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2724 followup to PR #377.
2727 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2728 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2731 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2732 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2733 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2734 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2736 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2738 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2741 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2742 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2743 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2744 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2746 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2750 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2751 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2755 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2756 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2757 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2758 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2759 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2760 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2762 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2763 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2764 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2765 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2766 have to be made anyway).
2769 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2770 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2771 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2774 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2775 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2776 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2779 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2780 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2781 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2783 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2784 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2785 edit numbers of the version.
2786 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2788 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2789 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2790 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2792 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2793 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2795 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2796 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2797 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2799 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2800 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2802 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2803 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2805 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2806 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2808 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2809 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2811 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2813 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2815 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2816 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2817 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2819 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2820 representations in a platform independent manner.
2821 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2823 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2824 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2825 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2827 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2829 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2831 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2832 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2834 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2836 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2838 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2839 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2840 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2842 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2844 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2846 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2847 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2849 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2850 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2852 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2853 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2855 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2856 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2858 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2860 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2862 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2863 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2865 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2866 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2868 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2869 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2871 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2873 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2874 the 0.9.6 release series:
2876 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2877 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2879 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2881 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2884 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2885 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2887 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2888 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2890 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2891 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2892 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2893 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2895 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2896 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2897 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2899 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2900 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2901 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2902 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2904 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2905 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2906 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2909 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2910 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2911 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2912 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2913 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2914 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2915 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2916 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2919 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2920 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2921 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2924 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2925 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2926 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2927 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2928 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2930 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2931 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2933 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2934 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2937 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2938 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2939 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2940 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2941 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2942 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2945 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2946 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2947 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2950 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2951 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2954 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2955 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2956 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2957 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2958 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2959 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2960 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2963 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2964 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2965 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2966 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2967 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2968 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2971 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2972 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2973 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2974 declaration has been changed from
2977 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2978 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2979 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2980 has been changed into
2981 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2983 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2984 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2985 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2987 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2988 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2990 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2991 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2992 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2993 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2994 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2995 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2996 always load it have also been added.
2999 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3000 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3001 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3003 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3005 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3006 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3007 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3009 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3010 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3011 command line option can be used to specify an
3015 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3016 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3019 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3020 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3021 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3024 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3025 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3026 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3027 to work with the new engine framework.
3028 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3030 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3031 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3032 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3033 to work with the new engine framework.
3036 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3037 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3038 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3040 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3041 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3043 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3044 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3045 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3046 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3048 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3050 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3051 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3053 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3054 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3056 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3057 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3058 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3061 *) Add new functions
3063 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3064 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3065 These are similar to
3068 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3069 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3070 still in the error queue.
3071 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3073 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3075 default_algorithms = ALL
3076 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3079 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3082 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3085 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3086 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3087 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3088 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3090 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3091 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3093 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3094 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3096 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3097 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3100 *) New functions/macros
3102 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3103 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3104 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3105 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3107 to request calling a callback function
3109 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3110 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3112 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3113 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3114 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3115 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3116 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3117 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3118 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3119 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3120 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3121 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3123 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3124 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3127 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3128 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3129 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3130 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3131 the configuration scripts.
3133 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3134 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3135 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3137 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3138 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3140 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3141 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3142 when reusing an existing buffer.
3145 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3146 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3149 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3150 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3153 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3154 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3155 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3156 has the same effect.
3157 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3159 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3160 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3161 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3162 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3163 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3164 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3167 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3168 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3169 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3170 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3172 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3173 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3174 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3175 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3177 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3178 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3181 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3182 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3183 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3184 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3185 default), and then completely removed.
3188 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3189 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3190 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3191 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3192 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3193 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3194 particular extension is supported.
3197 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3198 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3201 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3202 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3203 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3204 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3205 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3206 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3207 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3208 requires the destination to be valid.
3210 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3211 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3214 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3215 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3216 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3219 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3220 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3222 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3223 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3224 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3225 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3226 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3227 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3228 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3229 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3230 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3231 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3232 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3233 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3234 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3235 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3236 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3237 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3238 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3239 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3240 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3244 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3247 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3248 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3249 become part of libeay.num as well.
3252 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3253 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3254 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3255 false once a handshake has been completed.
3256 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3257 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3258 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3259 client has followed the request.)
3262 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3263 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3264 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3265 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3267 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3268 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3269 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3272 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3275 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3276 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3277 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3280 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3281 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3284 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3285 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3286 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3287 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3290 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3291 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3292 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3293 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3294 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3295 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3298 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3299 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3300 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3301 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3302 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3303 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3304 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3305 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3308 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3309 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3312 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3315 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3316 md_data void pointer.
3319 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3320 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3321 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3322 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3323 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3324 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3327 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3328 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3329 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3330 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3331 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3332 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3333 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3334 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3335 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3336 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3337 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3338 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3339 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3340 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3341 rather than letting it slide.
3343 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3344 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3345 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3348 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3349 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3350 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3351 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3352 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3353 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3354 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3355 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3356 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3359 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3360 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3361 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3362 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3363 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3365 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3368 *) Add EVP test program.
3371 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3374 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3375 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3376 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3377 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3378 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3381 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3382 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3383 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3384 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3385 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3386 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3387 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3389 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3390 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3391 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3396 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3397 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3398 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3399 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3400 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3404 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3405 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3406 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3407 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3410 des_key_schedule ks;
3412 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3413 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3415 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3418 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3419 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3420 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3421 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3422 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3423 functions prevents this.
3426 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3429 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3430 correct _ecb suffix.
3433 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3434 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3435 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3436 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3437 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3440 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3443 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3444 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3445 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3446 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3448 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3449 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3451 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3452 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3453 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3454 via Richard Levitte]
3456 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3457 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3458 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3459 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3462 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3465 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

3480 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3481 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3483 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3484 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3485 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3486 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3487 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3488 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3491 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3492 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3495 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3496 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3497 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3498 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3500 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3501 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3502 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3503 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3504 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3505 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3509 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3510 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3511 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3512 and interrupts/cancellations.
3515 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3516 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3519 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3520 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3521 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3523 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3524 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3528 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3529 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3530 than this minimum value is recommended.
3533 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3534 that are easily reachable.
3537 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3538 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3540 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3542 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3543 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3544 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3545 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3548 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3549 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3550 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3553 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3554 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3555 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3556 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3557 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3558 internally such as S/MIME.
3560 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3561 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3562 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3564 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3568 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3569 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3570 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3571 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3573 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3575 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3577 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3578 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3579 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3583 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3584 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3585 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3586 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3587 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3588 a window system and the like.
3591 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3592 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3595 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3596 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3597 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3598 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3599 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3600 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3601 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3602 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3603 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3607 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3608 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3612 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3613 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3614 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3615 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3616 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3617 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3618 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3619 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3622 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3623 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3624 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3625 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3626 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3627 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3628 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3629 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3630 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3631 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3632 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3633 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3634 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3635 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3636 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3637 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3638 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3641 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3642 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3643 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3644 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3645 internal engine_int.h header.
3648 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3649 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3650 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3651 modify their own ones).
3654 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3655 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3656 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3657 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3658 later on via ctrl() commands.
3659 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3660 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3661 structural references.
3662 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3663 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3664 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3665 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3666 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3667 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3668 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3669 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3670 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3671 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3672 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3673 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3676 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3677 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3678 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3679 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3680 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3681 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3682 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3683 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3686 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3687 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3690 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3691 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3694 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3695 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3696 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3697 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3698 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3699 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3700 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3703 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3704 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3705 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3706 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3707 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3709 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3710 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3714 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3716 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3717 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3718 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3720 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3721 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3723 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3724 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3725 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3727 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3728 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3730 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3731 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3733 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3735 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3736 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3737 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3740 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3741 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3744 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3745 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3746 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3747 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3748 is 40 of more characters long.
3751 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3752 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3756 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3757 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3760 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3761 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3765 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3767 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3768 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3771 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3773 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3774 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3775 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3777 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3778 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3780 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3783 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3787 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3788 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3789 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3790 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3792 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3794 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3795 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3797 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3798 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3799 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3800 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3801 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3802 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3804 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3805 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3807 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3808 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3810 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3811 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3813 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3814 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3815 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3816 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3818 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3819 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3821 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3822 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3824 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3825 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3826 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3827 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3828 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3831 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3832 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3833 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3834 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3837 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3838 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3839 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3843 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3844 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3845 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3846 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3847 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3848 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3849 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3850 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3854 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3855 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3858 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3859 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3860 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3861 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3864 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3865 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3866 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3867 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3868 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3869 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3870 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3871 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3872 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3873 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3876 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3877 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3878 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3879 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3880 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3881 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3882 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3883 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3885 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3886 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3887 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3888 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3891 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3892 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3893 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3894 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3896 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3897 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3898 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3899 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3900 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3904 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3905 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3906 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3907 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3911 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3912 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3913 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3916 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3917 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3918 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3919 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3920 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3923 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3926 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3927 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3928 option to ocsp utility.
3931 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3932 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3933 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3934 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3935 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3936 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3937 the request is nonce-less.
3940 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3941 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3942 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3945 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3946 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3947 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3950 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3951 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3952 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3953 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3954 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3957 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3958 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3962 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3963 additional certificates supplied.
3966 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3967 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3971 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3972 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3975 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3976 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3977 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3978 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3979 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3980 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3981 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3982 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3983 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3985 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3986 request to response.
3989 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3990 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3991 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3992 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3993 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3994 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3995 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3996 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3997 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3998 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3999 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4002 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4003 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4004 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4005 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4008 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4009 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4011 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4012 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4013 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4016 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4017 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4018 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4019 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4020 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4022 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4023 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4024 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4027 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4028 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4029 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4030 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4031 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4032 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4033 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4034 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4036 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4037 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4038 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4039 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4040 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4041 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4044 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4045 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4046 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4047 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4048 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4049 printout format cleaned up.
4052 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4053 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4054 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4055 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4056 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4057 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4058 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4059 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4062 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4063 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4064 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4065 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4066 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4067 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4068 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4069 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4072 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4073 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4074 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4075 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4077 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4079 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4080 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4081 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4082 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4085 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4086 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4087 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4088 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4090 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4092 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4093 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4094 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4095 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4097 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4098 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4100 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4101 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4102 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4105 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4106 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4107 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4110 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4111 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4112 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4113 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4114 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4115 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4116 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4117 functions are provided:
4119 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4120 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4121 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4122 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4124 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4125 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4126 extended allocation function is enabled.
4127 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4128 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4129 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4131 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4132 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4133 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4134 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4135 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4138 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4139 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4140 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4142 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4143 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4144 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4147 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4148 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4149 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4150 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4151 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4152 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4153 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4154 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4155 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4158 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4159 provide utility functions which an application needing
4160 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4161 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4162 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4164 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4165 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4166 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4167 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4168 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4169 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4170 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4171 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4172 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4174 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4175 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4176 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4177 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4180 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4181 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4182 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4183 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4184 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4185 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4186 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4187 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4188 will be added elsewhere.
4191 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4192 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4193 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4194 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4197 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4198 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4199 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4200 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4201 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4202 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4203 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4204 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4205 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4206 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4207 to produce the required SET OF.
4210 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4211 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4212 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4215 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4216 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4217 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4218 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4219 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4220 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4223 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4224 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4225 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4228 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4229 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4230 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4233 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4234 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4235 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4236 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4237 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4240 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4241 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4244 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4245 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4246 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4247 certifcates and CRLs.
4250 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4251 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4252 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4255 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4256 entries for variables.
4259 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4260 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4261 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4262 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4265 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4266 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4267 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4268 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4269 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4270 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4273 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4274 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4276 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4277 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4278 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4281 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4285 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4286 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4287 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4288 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4289 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4290 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4293 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4296 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4297 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4298 for now but they will eventually go away.
4301 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4302 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4303 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4304 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4305 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4306 has also been converted to the new form.
4309 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4310 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4311 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4312 for negative moduli.
4315 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4316 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4319 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4323 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4324 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4325 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4326 type-specific callbacks.
4329 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4331 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4332 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4334 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4335 in sections depending on the subject.
4338 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4342 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4343 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4344 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4345 be handled deterministically).
4346 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4348 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4349 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4350 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4353 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4356 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4357 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4358 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4359 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4360 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4363 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4364 sign of the number in question.
4366 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4368 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4369 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4370 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4371 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4372 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4375 *) New function BN_swap.
4378 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4379 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4380 results on negative inputs.
4383 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4384 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4385 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4388 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4389 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4390 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4391 and add new functions:
4400 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4404 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4406 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4407 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4409 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4410 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4411 be reduced modulo m.
4412 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4415 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4416 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4417 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4419 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4420 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4421 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4422 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4423 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4424 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4429 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4430 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4431 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4432 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4433 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4435 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4436 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4437 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4441 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4444 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4445 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4448 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4449 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4450 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4451 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4455 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4458 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4461 *) Add the following functions:
4463 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4465 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4467 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4469 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4470 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4471 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4472 libraries unless it's really needed.
4474 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4475 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4476 declarations (they differed!).
4479 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4482 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4485 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4488 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4489 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4492 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4493 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4494 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4496 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4497 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4500 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4503 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4506 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4509 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4510 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4511 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4513 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4514 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4515 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4516 different shared library filenames on each system.
4519 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4522 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4523 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4524 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4526 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4529 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4530 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4531 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4532 binary backward compatibility.
4533 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4534 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4535 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4539 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4540 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4541 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4542 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4546 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4549 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4550 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4551 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4552 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4556 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4559 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4561 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4562 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4563 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4565 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4567 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4569 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4570 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4573 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4575 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4577 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4578 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4580 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4581 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4585 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4586 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4590 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4591 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4592 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4593 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4595 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4596 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4599 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4601 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4602 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4603 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4604 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4607 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4608 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4609 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4610 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4611 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4613 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4614 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4615 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4616 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4617 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4618 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4619 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4620 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4621 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4624 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4626 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4627 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4628 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4629 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4630 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4632 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4633 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4634 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4636 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4638 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4639 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4640 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4641 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4642 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4643 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4646 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4647 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4648 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4649 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4650 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4653 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4654 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4655 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4657 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4658 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4659 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4663 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4664 being properly terminated.
4667 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4668 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4669 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4670 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4672 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4673 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4674 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4675 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4676 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4677 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4678 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4680 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4682 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4683 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4686 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4687 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4688 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4689 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4690 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4691 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4692 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4693 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4695 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4696 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4697 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4698 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4699 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4701 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4702 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4705 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4707 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4708 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4709 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4711 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4713 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4714 and get fix the header length calculation.
4715 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4716 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4719 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4720 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4721 assertions could call abort()).
4722 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4724 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4726 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4727 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4728 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4730 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4732 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4733 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4734 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4737 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4741 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4742 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4743 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4745 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4746 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4747 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4748 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4749 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4753 *) Changes in security patch:
4755 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4756 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4757 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4760 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4761 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4762 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4763 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4764 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4766 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4768 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4770 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4771 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4772 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4774 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4775 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4776 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4778 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4779 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4780 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4782 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4784 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4785 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4786 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4788 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4789 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4791 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4792 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4793 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4794 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4795 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4796 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4799 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4800 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4801 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4802 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4805 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4808 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4809 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4810 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4811 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4812 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4813 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4815 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4816 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4817 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4818 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4819 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4822 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4823 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4824 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4825 BN_generate_prime().)
4827 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4828 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4829 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4833 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4834 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4837 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4838 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4839 when using non-blocking I/O.
4840 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4842 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4843 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4845 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4846 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4849 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4850 configuration for the versions before that.
4851 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4853 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4854 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4855 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4856 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4859 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4860 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4861 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4864 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4868 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4869 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4870 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4872 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4873 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4875 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4876 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4877 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4878 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4879 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4880 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4881 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4884 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4885 using a local variable.
4886 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4888 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4889 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4890 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4892 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4895 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4896 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4898 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4899 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4900 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4902 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4904 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4905 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4906 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4907 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4910 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4914 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4915 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4916 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4917 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4918 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4920 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4921 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4922 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4924 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4925 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4926 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4928 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4929 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4930 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4931 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4933 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4934 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4935 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4937 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4939 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4940 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4942 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4944 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4945 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4946 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4947 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4949 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4950 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4951 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4952 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4954 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4955 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4957 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4958 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4959 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4962 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4963 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4964 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4966 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4968 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4969 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4970 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4971 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4972 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4973 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4974 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4977 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4978 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4979 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4980 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4982 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4983 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4984 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4985 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4986 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4987 the client will at least see that alert.
4990 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4994 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4995 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4996 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4998 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4999 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5000 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5001 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5004 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5005 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5006 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5008 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5009 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5010 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5011 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5012 may leak via logfiles.)
5014 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5015 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5016 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5017 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5021 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5022 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5025 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5026 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5027 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5028 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5029 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5032 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5033 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5035 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5036 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5037 followed by modular reduction.
5038 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5040 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5041 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5044 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5045 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5046 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5047 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5050 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5053 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5054 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5057 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5058 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5059 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5060 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5061 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5062 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5064 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5066 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5067 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5068 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5069 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5070 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5072 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5075 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5076 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5077 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5078 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5079 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5080 to allow the necessary settings.
5083 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5084 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5085 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5086 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5089 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5090 dh->length and always used
5092 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5094 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5095 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5096 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5097 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5098 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5103 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5105 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5111 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5112 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5113 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5114 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5116 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5117 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5118 always reject numbers >= n.
5121 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5122 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5123 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5124 variable) is not atomic.
5127 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5128 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5129 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5130 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5132 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5133 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5135 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5137 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5139 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5142 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5144 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5145 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5146 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5147 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5148 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5149 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5150 to traverse all of 'state'.
5152 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5153 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5154 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5156 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5157 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5159 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5160 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5161 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5162 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5163 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5164 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5165 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5166 further strengthens the PRNG.
5169 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5172 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5173 an error message in this case.
5176 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5179 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5180 positive and less than q.
5183 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5184 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5186 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5188 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5189 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5193 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5195 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5196 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5197 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5198 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5199 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5200 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5201 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5204 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5205 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5206 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5207 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5209 Both problems are now fixed.
5212 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5213 (previously it was 1024).
5216 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5217 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5220 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5223 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5224 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5225 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5228 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5229 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5230 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5231 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5232 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5233 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5234 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5235 environment variables.
5237 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5238 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5239 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5242 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5243 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5244 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5245 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5246 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5247 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5250 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5254 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5256 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5257 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5259 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5260 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5261 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5262 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5266 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5267 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5268 amount of data available.
5269 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5270 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5272 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5273 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5274 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5275 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5278 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5279 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5283 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5284 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5285 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5286 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5289 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5292 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5295 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5296 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5298 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5300 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5301 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5302 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5303 (but broken) behaviour.
5306 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5308 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5310 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5311 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5314 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5318 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5319 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5321 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5324 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5325 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5326 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5328 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5329 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5330 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5333 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5334 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5337 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5338 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5340 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5342 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5344 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5345 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5346 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5347 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5350 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5353 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5354 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5355 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5357 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5360 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5362 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5363 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5364 but the code is actually correct.
5367 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5368 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5369 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5370 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5371 and leaves the highest bit random.
5372 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5374 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5375 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5376 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5377 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5378 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5379 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5380 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5383 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5386 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5387 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5390 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5391 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5392 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5393 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5397 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5398 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5399 and break the signature.
5401 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5403 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5407 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5408 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5409 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5410 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5411 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5414 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5415 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5417 *) ./config script fixes.
5418 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5420 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5423 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5424 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5425 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5426 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5427 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5429 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5430 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5433 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5434 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5437 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5438 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5439 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5440 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5442 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5443 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5445 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5446 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5447 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5448 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5449 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5451 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5454 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5457 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5460 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5463 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5464 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5467 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5468 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5469 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5470 result of the server certificate verification.)
5473 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5474 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5475 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5479 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5480 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5481 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5482 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5483 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5484 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5485 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5486 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5489 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5490 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5491 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5492 happening the other way round.
5495 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5496 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5499 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5500 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5501 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5502 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5505 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5506 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5508 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5510 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5511 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5512 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5515 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5517 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5519 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5523 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5525 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5526 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5527 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5528 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5529 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5531 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5532 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5536 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5539 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5541 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5542 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5543 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5544 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5545 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5546 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5547 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5548 by the Finished messages.
5551 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5552 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5554 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5555 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5556 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5557 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5558 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5562 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5563 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5564 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5565 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5566 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5567 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5568 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5569 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5570 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5574 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5575 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5576 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5577 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5579 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5580 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5581 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5582 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5583 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5586 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5587 been tested well enough.
5590 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5591 it can return incorrect results.
5592 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5593 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5596 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5597 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5598 include zero length content when signing messages.
5601 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5602 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5605 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5608 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5612 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5613 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5614 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5615 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5616 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5617 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5620 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5621 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5623 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5624 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5626 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5627 random number < q in the DSA library.
5630 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5631 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5632 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5633 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5634 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5635 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5636 just makes things more complicated.)
5639 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5643 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5644 work better on such systems.
5645 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5647 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5648 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5649 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5652 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5653 if there was more than one signature.
5654 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5656 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5657 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5658 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5659 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5662 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5663 rather than always using the current time.
5666 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5667 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5668 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5669 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5670 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5671 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5673 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5674 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5676 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5678 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5679 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5680 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5681 the same hash value.
5683 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5684 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5685 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5686 with X509_STORE internally.
5688 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5689 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5691 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5692 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5693 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5694 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5695 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5696 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5697 entirely (maybe later...).
5699 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5701 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5702 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5703 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5704 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5705 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5706 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5707 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5708 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5710 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5711 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5713 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5714 to customise the verify behaviour.
5717 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5718 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5721 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5722 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5723 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5724 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5725 request is improperly encoded.
5728 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5729 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5732 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5733 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5735 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5736 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5740 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5741 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5742 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5745 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5746 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5747 BIO/fp routines also added.
5750 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5751 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5753 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5754 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5755 demos/state_machine.
5758 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5759 generation and verification.
5762 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5763 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5764 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5765 encode and decode it manually.
5768 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5770 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5772 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5773 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5774 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5775 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5777 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5778 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5779 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5780 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5781 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5784 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5787 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5788 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5789 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5791 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5792 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5793 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5794 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5795 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5796 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5797 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5798 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5800 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5801 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5803 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5805 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5806 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5807 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5811 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5812 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5813 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5814 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5818 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5820 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5823 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5824 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5825 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5826 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5827 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5828 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5829 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5830 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5831 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5832 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5833 short or long names are found.
5836 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5837 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5839 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5840 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5841 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5842 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5844 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5845 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5846 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5847 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5850 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5851 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5852 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5855 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5856 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5857 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5858 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5859 to allow the various flags to be set.
5862 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5863 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5864 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5865 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5866 dates to be checked.
5869 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5870 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5871 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5874 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5875 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5876 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5879 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5880 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5883 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5884 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5885 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5886 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5887 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5888 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5891 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5892 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5896 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5900 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5901 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5902 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5903 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5904 form signing output easier to verify.
5907 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5910 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5911 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5912 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5913 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5914 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5915 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5916 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5917 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5918 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5919 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5922 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5924 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5925 the syntax given in objects.README.
5926 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5928 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5931 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5932 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5933 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5934 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5935 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5936 consistent name changes.
5939 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5942 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5943 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5944 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5945 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5948 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5949 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5950 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5954 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5955 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5956 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5957 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5960 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5961 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5962 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5963 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5964 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5965 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5966 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5967 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5968 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5969 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5970 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5973 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5974 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5975 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5976 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5977 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5978 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5979 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5980 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5981 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5982 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5985 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5986 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5987 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5988 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5990 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5991 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5992 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5993 omit any duplicate addresses.
5996 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5997 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6000 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6001 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6002 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6003 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6004 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6007 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6009 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6010 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6011 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6012 Free => OPENSSL_free
6015 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6016 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6019 *) CygWin32 support.
6020 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6022 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6023 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6024 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6025 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6026 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6030 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6031 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6032 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6033 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6034 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6035 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6036 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6039 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6040 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6041 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6042 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6043 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6044 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6045 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6046 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6047 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6048 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6049 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6052 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6053 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6054 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6055 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6056 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6058 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6059 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6060 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6061 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6062 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6064 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6067 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6068 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6069 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6070 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6072 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6074 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6077 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6078 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6079 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6082 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6083 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6084 any installed hardware versions can.
6087 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6088 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6089 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6093 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6094 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6095 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6096 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6097 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6099 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6100 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6103 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6104 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6107 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6108 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6109 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6113 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6116 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6117 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6118 but no ssl client purpose.
6119 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6121 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6122 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6123 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6124 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6125 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6126 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6127 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6128 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6129 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6130 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6131 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6134 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6135 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6136 be obtained from the error queue.
6139 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6140 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6141 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6142 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6145 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6148 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6149 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6150 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6151 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6152 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6155 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6156 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6157 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6158 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6159 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6162 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6163 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6164 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6166 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6168 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6169 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6170 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6171 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6172 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6173 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6174 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6175 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6176 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6177 or "the configuration storage API"...
6179 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6181 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6182 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6184 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6186 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6188 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6189 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6190 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6191 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6192 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6193 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6194 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6196 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6197 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6200 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6201 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6202 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6203 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6206 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6207 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6208 them in a portable way.
6209 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6211 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6213 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6215 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6216 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6218 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6219 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6220 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6223 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6224 was larger than the MD block size.
6225 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6227 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6228 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6229 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6230 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6234 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6235 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6236 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6238 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6240 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6242 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6243 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6244 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6245 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6246 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6247 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6249 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6250 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6252 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6253 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6256 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6259 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6260 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6262 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6263 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6264 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6265 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6268 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6269 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6270 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6271 does not suppress any output.
6274 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6275 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6276 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6277 with all the associated security issues.
6279 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6280 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6281 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6282 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6283 use the value in the default purpose.
6286 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6287 and fix a memory leak.
6290 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6291 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6292 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6293 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6296 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6297 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6298 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6299 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6302 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6303 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6304 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6307 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6308 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6311 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6312 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6316 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6317 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6320 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6321 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6322 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6325 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6326 number generation fails.
6329 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6332 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6333 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6335 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6338 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6339 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6341 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6342 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6344 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6346 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6347 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6350 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6351 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6353 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6354 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6357 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6358 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6359 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6360 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6361 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6362 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6364 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6365 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6366 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6370 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6371 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6372 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6373 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6374 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6375 counter, some don't.)
6376 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6377 counters or duplicate objects.
6380 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6381 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6384 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6385 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6386 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6388 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6389 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6390 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6394 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6395 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6398 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6399 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6400 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6404 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6405 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6406 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6409 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6410 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6411 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6412 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6413 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6414 should work without changes.
6417 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6418 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6419 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6420 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6421 must be defined. E.g.,
6422 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6423 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6424 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6425 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6427 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6431 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6432 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6433 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6436 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6437 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6438 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6439 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6442 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6443 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6444 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6445 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6446 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6447 is prompted for as usual.
6450 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6451 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6452 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6453 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6455 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6456 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6457 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6458 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6461 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6464 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6468 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6471 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6474 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6478 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6481 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6484 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6485 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6488 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6489 options to produce them.
6492 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6493 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6496 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6500 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6501 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6502 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6503 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6504 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6505 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6506 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6509 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6512 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6513 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6514 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6517 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6518 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6520 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6521 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6524 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6525 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6526 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6530 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6531 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6533 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6534 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6535 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6536 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6537 generation becomes much faster.
6539 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6540 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6541 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6542 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6543 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6544 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6545 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6546 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6547 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6548 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6551 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6552 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6553 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6554 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6555 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6556 trial division stage.
6559 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6563 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6566 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6569 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6570 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6571 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6575 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6576 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6577 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6580 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6581 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6582 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6583 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6585 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6586 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6589 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6592 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6593 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6594 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6595 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6598 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6599 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6600 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6603 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6604 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6605 (instead of parameters) in future.
6608 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6609 when a new cipher list is set.
6612 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6613 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6616 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6617 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6618 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6620 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6621 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6622 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6623 an error is flagged.
6625 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6626 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6627 the readability was also increased :-)
6628 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6630 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6631 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6632 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6633 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6637 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6638 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6641 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6642 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6643 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6644 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6647 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6648 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6649 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6650 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6651 because they handle more complex structures.)
6654 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6655 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6656 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6657 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6659 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6660 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6661 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6662 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6663 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6664 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6665 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6668 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6669 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6670 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6671 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6672 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6675 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6678 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6679 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6680 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6681 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6682 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6685 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6689 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6690 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6691 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6692 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6695 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6698 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6699 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6700 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6701 international characters are used.
6703 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6704 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6705 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6709 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6710 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6711 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6714 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6715 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6716 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6717 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6718 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6719 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6721 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6722 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6723 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6724 be handled by the string table functions.
6726 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6727 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6728 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6729 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6730 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6734 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6735 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6736 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6737 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6738 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6740 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6741 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6742 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6743 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6746 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6747 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6748 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6749 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6750 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6754 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6755 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6756 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6757 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6758 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6759 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6760 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6761 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6763 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6764 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6765 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6768 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6769 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6770 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6771 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6772 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6773 support to pkcs8 application.
6776 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6777 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6778 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6779 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6780 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6781 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6784 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6785 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6786 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6787 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6788 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6792 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6793 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6794 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6795 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6799 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6800 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6801 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6802 and any application specific purposes.
6804 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6805 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6806 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6807 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6808 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6809 if the certificate is self signed.
6812 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6813 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6816 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6817 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6818 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6819 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6822 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6823 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6824 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6825 Update documentation.
6828 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6829 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6830 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6831 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6832 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6835 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6837 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6839 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6840 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6841 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6842 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6843 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6844 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6845 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6846 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6847 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6848 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6850 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6852 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6853 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6854 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6855 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6856 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6858 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6859 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6860 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6861 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6862 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6863 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6864 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6865 request additional information:
6866 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6867 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6869 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6870 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6871 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6874 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6875 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6878 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6881 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6882 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6884 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6885 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6886 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6890 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6891 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6892 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6894 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6895 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6896 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6897 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6898 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6899 included in OpenSSL.
6902 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6903 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6904 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6905 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6906 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6907 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6910 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6914 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6915 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6916 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6917 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6918 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6922 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6926 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6927 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6928 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6929 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6930 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6931 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6932 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6933 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6934 be maintained manually.
6936 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6937 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6938 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6939 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6940 work because people forget to call this function]
6941 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6942 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6943 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6946 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6947 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6948 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6949 should be discouraged from doing it.
6952 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6953 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6954 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6955 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6956 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6957 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6960 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6961 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6962 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6964 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6965 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6966 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6968 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6969 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6970 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6971 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6972 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6973 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6975 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6976 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6977 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6979 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6980 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6983 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6984 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6985 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6986 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6989 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6992 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6993 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6994 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6995 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6996 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6997 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6998 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6999 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7000 keys so we should be OK.
7002 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7003 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7004 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7005 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7006 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7007 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7008 stay in the name of compatibility.
7010 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7011 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7012 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7014 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7015 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7016 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7017 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7018 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7019 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7023 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7024 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7025 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7026 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7027 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7028 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7029 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7030 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7031 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7032 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7033 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7034 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7035 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7038 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7041 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7042 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7043 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7044 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7045 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7046 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7047 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7048 openssl verify ss.pem
7049 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7050 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7054 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7055 (and add it to external session representation).
7056 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7057 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7058 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7059 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7060 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7061 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7063 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7065 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7066 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7067 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7068 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7070 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7071 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7072 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7075 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7076 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7077 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7081 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7082 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7083 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7085 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7086 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7087 certificate auxiliary information.
7090 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7094 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7095 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7096 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7097 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7098 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7099 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7100 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7103 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7104 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7107 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7108 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7109 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7110 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7113 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7116 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7117 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7120 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7121 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7122 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7123 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7124 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7125 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7126 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7127 using the new 'x509' options.
7129 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7130 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7131 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7132 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7136 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7137 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7138 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7139 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7140 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7143 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7144 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7145 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7146 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7147 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7148 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7149 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7150 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7151 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7152 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7155 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7156 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7157 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7158 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7159 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7160 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7161 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7164 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7165 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7166 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7167 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7168 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7169 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7170 openssl.cnf for more info.
7173 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7174 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7175 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7176 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7177 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7178 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7179 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7180 md should be large enough anyway.
7183 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7184 for handling the random seed file.
7186 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7188 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7191 x509 (when signing).
7192 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7193 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7194 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7196 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7197 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7198 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7199 that support '-rand'.
7202 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7203 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7206 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7207 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7210 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7211 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7212 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7213 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7217 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7218 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7219 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7220 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7223 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7224 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7225 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7226 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7227 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7228 print out all the purposes.
7231 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7235 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7236 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7237 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7238 single function call.
7241 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7242 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7245 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7246 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7247 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7250 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7251 when producing the local key id.
7252 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7254 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7255 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7256 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7260 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7261 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7262 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7263 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7266 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7267 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7268 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7269 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7271 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7272 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7273 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7274 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7276 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7277 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7278 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7279 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7280 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7281 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7282 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7283 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7284 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7285 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7286 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7287 trivial: move one line.
7288 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7290 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7291 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7292 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7293 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7294 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7295 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7296 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7297 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7298 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7299 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7300 with an event loop for example.
7303 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7304 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7305 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7306 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7307 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7308 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7309 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7310 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7311 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7314 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7315 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7316 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7317 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7318 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7319 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7322 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7323 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7324 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7325 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7327 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7328 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7329 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7330 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7334 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7335 (still largely untested)
7338 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7339 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7342 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7343 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7346 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7347 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7348 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7351 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7352 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7353 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7354 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7355 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7358 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7361 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7362 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7363 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7364 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7365 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7369 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7370 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7373 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7376 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7377 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7378 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7379 are otherwise ignored at present.
7382 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7383 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7384 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7385 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7386 copied until the next read.
7389 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7390 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7391 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7394 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7395 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7396 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7397 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7398 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7399 associated functions.
7402 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7403 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7404 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7405 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7406 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7407 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7408 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7409 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7410 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7414 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7415 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7416 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7417 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7420 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7421 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7422 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7423 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7424 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7428 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7429 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7433 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7434 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7435 extensions to be obtained and added.
7438 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7439 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7442 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7444 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7445 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7447 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7448 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7450 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7454 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7455 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7456 DH parameters contain its length).
7458 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7459 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7460 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7461 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7462 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7463 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7464 utter importance to use
7465 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7467 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7468 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7469 attacks may become possible!
7472 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7475 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7476 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7479 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7480 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7481 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7485 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7486 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7487 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7488 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7489 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7490 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7491 private key operations.
7494 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7497 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7498 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7500 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7501 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7502 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7503 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7504 the password callback is called.
7505 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7507 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7509 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7510 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7511 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7512 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7513 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7514 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7517 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7518 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7519 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7520 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7521 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7522 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7525 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7528 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7529 delete an unused file.
7532 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7533 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7534 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7535 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7538 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7539 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7540 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7544 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7545 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7546 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7548 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7549 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7550 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7551 comparison" warnings.
7552 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7555 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7556 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7557 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7560 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7561 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7563 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7564 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7566 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7567 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7568 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7570 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7571 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7572 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7573 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7574 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7576 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7578 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7579 The interface is as follows:
7580 Applications can use
7581 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7582 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7583 "off" is now the default.
7584 The library internally uses
7585 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7586 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7587 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7589 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7590 even the default) are now avoided.
7592 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7593 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7594 than just having a counter.
7596 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7598 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7602 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7603 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7604 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7605 Initial "mode" flags are:
7607 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7608 a single record has been written.
7609 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7610 retries use the same buffer location.
7611 (But all of the contents must be
7615 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7618 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7619 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7621 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7622 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7623 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7626 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7627 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7629 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7631 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7632 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7633 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7634 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7636 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7637 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7639 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7640 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7641 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7642 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7643 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7644 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7647 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7648 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7649 necessary function names.
7652 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7653 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7654 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7655 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7658 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7659 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7660 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7663 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7664 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7665 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7666 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7668 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7672 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7673 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7674 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7677 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7678 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7682 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7683 for the encoded length.
7684 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7686 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7689 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7690 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7691 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7692 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7695 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7696 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7697 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7699 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7700 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7701 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7705 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7706 to use the new extension code.
7709 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7710 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7711 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7715 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7716 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7717 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7721 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7724 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7725 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7726 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7729 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7730 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7731 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7732 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7735 *) DES library cleanups.
7738 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7739 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7740 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7741 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7742 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7746 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7747 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7750 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7751 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7752 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7753 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7754 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7755 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7756 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7757 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7758 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7761 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7762 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7763 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7764 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7765 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7766 value doesn't matter.
7769 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7773 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7774 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7775 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7776 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7778 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7781 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7782 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7783 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7785 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7786 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7788 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7791 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7794 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7797 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7801 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7803 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7805 *) Updated some demos.
7806 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7808 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7811 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7814 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7817 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7818 instead of using a fixed path.
7821 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7824 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7828 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7830 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7831 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7832 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7834 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7835 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7836 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7837 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7838 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7839 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7840 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7841 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7842 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7843 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7846 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7847 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7850 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7851 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7852 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7853 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7854 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7856 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7859 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7860 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7861 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7864 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7867 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7868 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7869 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7870 key elements as negative integers.
7873 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7874 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7877 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7879 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7880 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7881 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7884 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7885 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7886 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7887 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7888 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7891 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7894 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7895 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7896 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7897 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7899 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7900 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7901 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7903 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7904 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7905 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7906 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7907 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7908 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7909 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7910 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7911 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7913 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7914 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7915 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7916 does not influence s as it used to.
7918 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7919 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7920 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7921 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7922 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7923 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7926 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7927 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7928 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7932 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7933 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7934 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7938 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7939 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7940 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7944 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7945 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7948 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7949 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7954 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7955 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7957 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7958 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7960 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7963 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7966 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7967 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7969 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7970 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7971 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7975 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7976 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7977 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7978 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7979 now it really counts the depth.
7982 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7983 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7984 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7985 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7986 didn't match the private key).
7988 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7989 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7990 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7993 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7996 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8000 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8001 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8002 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8005 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8008 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8009 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8010 such as /usr/local/bin.
8013 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8014 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8016 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8019 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8020 extension adding in x509 utility.
8023 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8026 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8030 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8033 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8034 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8035 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8036 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8037 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8038 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8039 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8040 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8041 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8042 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8045 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8048 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8049 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8052 *) Fix some race conditions.
8055 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8056 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8059 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8062 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8063 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8064 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8065 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8067 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8068 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8070 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8071 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8072 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8074 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8075 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8077 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8080 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8081 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8083 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8086 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8087 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8089 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8090 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8093 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8094 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8097 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8098 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8101 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8102 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8105 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8106 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8109 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8110 support typesafe stack.
8113 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8114 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8116 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8117 old X509V3 handling code.
8120 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8123 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8126 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8129 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8130 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8132 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8133 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8134 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8135 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8136 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8139 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8140 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8141 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8142 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8143 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8145 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8146 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8147 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8148 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8150 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8151 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8152 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8153 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8155 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8156 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8157 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8158 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8159 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8160 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8163 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8164 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8167 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8168 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8171 *) Tweaks to Configure
8172 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8174 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8178 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8181 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8182 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8185 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8186 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8187 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8190 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8193 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8194 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8197 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8198 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8199 to library startup routines.
8202 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8203 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8204 codes along the way.
8207 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8208 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8209 objects to objects.h
8212 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8213 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8216 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8217 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8219 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8220 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8221 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8223 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8224 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8225 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8227 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8228 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8229 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8232 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8234 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8235 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8238 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8239 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8240 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8241 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8242 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8244 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8245 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8246 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8248 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8250 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8252 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8254 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8255 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8257 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8258 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8259 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8260 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8262 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8265 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8266 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8267 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8268 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8271 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8272 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8273 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8276 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8277 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8278 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8279 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8280 installed as `perl').
8281 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8283 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8284 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8286 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8287 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8288 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8289 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8290 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8293 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8296 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8297 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8298 is horrible: I feel ill....
8301 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8302 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8303 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8304 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8307 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8308 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8310 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8311 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8312 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8313 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8315 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8316 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8317 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8318 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8319 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8320 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8322 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8324 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8325 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8327 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8328 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8330 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8333 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8334 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8338 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8339 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8340 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8341 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8342 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8343 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8344 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8345 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8346 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8347 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8348 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8350 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8353 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8354 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8355 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8356 for linking it into DSOs.
8357 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8359 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8363 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8364 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8365 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8366 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8367 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8368 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8370 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8371 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8372 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8373 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8374 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8375 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8376 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8378 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8379 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8380 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8384 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8385 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8386 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8387 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8390 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8391 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8392 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8393 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8394 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8398 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8399 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8400 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8401 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8402 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8404 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8405 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8406 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8408 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8409 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8411 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8412 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8413 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8414 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8415 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8418 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8419 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8420 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8421 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8422 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8423 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8424 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8427 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8429 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8430 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8433 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8434 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8436 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8437 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8440 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8441 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8442 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8443 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8444 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8446 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8447 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8448 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8449 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8450 no way to reconfigure them.
8451 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8452 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8453 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8454 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8455 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8456 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8458 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8459 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8460 recognized by the users.
8461 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8463 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8464 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8465 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8466 already masked variable.
8467 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8469 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8470 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8472 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8473 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8474 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8475 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8477 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8478 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8479 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8481 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8482 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8483 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8484 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8485 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8486 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8487 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8488 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8490 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8492 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8493 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8494 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8496 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8497 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8501 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8502 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8504 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8505 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8506 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8507 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8510 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8513 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8514 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8516 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8519 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8520 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8523 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8524 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8527 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8528 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8529 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8530 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8531 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8532 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8533 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8536 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8537 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8539 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8540 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8541 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8542 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8543 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8545 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8546 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8547 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8550 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8551 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8555 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8556 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8557 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8559 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8560 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8561 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8565 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8566 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8567 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8568 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8571 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8572 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8573 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8574 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8577 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8578 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8579 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8580 so it wasn't spotted.
8581 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8583 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8584 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8585 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8586 vectors if you have them.
8589 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8590 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8593 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8594 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8595 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8596 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8598 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8599 it will update them.
8602 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8603 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8604 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8605 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8606 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8607 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8608 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8609 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8611 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8612 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8613 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8614 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8615 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8616 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8617 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8618 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8619 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8620 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8622 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8623 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8624 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8625 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8626 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8629 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8633 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8634 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8636 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8637 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8639 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8640 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8643 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8644 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8646 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8647 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8649 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8652 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8656 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8657 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8658 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8659 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8661 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8664 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8667 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8670 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8671 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8674 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8675 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8679 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8680 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8683 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8684 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8685 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8688 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8689 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8690 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8691 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8692 properly to be processed.
8695 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8696 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8697 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8700 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8701 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8703 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8704 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8705 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8706 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8707 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8708 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8709 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8710 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8711 or delete all the .err files.
8714 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8715 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8716 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8717 to regenerate it if needed.
8718 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8719 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8721 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8722 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8724 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8725 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8726 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8727 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8728 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8731 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8732 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8734 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8735 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8737 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8738 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8739 error, but didn't set one).
8740 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8742 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8745 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8746 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8749 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8750 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8752 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8753 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8754 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8755 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8756 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8757 OID is not part of the table.
8760 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8761 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8764 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8767 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8768 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8772 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8773 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8775 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8777 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8779 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8780 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8782 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8783 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8785 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8786 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8788 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8789 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8792 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8793 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8796 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8797 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8799 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8800 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8802 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8803 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8805 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8806 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8808 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8809 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8810 unused in the certificate verification process.
8811 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8813 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8814 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8817 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8818 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8819 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8821 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8822 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8823 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8824 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8825 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8827 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8828 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8831 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8834 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8837 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8838 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8840 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8843 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8846 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8849 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8850 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8851 other error libraries.
8854 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8857 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8858 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8862 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8863 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8864 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8865 the new set of documenation files.
8866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8868 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8869 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8870 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8871 number of arguments.
8872 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8874 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8877 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8878 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8879 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8881 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8884 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8888 unixware-2.0-pentium
8892 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8893 before they are needed.
8896 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8900 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8902 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8903 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8904 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8906 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8909 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8910 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8911 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8913 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8914 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8915 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8917 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8918 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8919 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8921 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8922 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8924 *) Updated the README file.
8925 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8927 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8928 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8929 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8931 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8932 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8933 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8935 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8936 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8937 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8938 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8939 o removed obsolete TODO file
8940 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8941 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8943 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8944 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8945 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8946 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f

8948 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8949 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8951 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8954 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8955 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8956 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8958 [The OpenSSL Project]
8961 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8963 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8966 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8969 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8970 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8973 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8974 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8978 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8980 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8982 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8985 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8988 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8991 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8994 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8997 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9000 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9003 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9006 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9009 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9012 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9015 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9018 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9021 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9024 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9027 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9030 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9033 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9034 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9035 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9038 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9039 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9042 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
9045 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
9048 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
9049 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
9052 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
9055 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9058 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9059 bytes sent in the client random.
