5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
7 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
8 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
10 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
11 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
12 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
13 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
15 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
17 Add applications 'openssl ecdsaparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
18 (these are variants of 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
20 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
21 library. Most notably,
22 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
23 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
24 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
25 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
26 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
27 extracted before the specific public key.
28 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
30 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
31 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves can be obtained from the new
34 EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
35 Also add a 'nid' field to EC_GROUP objects, which can be accessed
39 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
41 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
43 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
44 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
45 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
46 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
47 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
50 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
51 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
52 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
53 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
54 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
55 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
58 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
59 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
60 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
61 declaration has been changed from
64 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
65 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
66 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
68 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
70 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
71 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
72 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
74 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
75 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
77 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
78 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
79 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
80 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
81 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
82 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
83 always load it have also been added.
86 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
87 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
88 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
90 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
92 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
93 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
94 because it couldn't be used for anything.
96 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
97 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
98 command line option can be used to specify an
102 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
103 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
106 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
107 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
108 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
111 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
112 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
113 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
114 to work with the new engine framework.
115 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
117 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
118 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
119 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
120 to work with the new engine framework.
123 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
124 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
125 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
127 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
128 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
130 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
131 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
132 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
133 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
135 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
137 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
138 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
140 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
141 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
143 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
144 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
145 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
150 ERR_peek_last_error_line
151 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
155 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
156 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
157 still in the error queue.
158 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
160 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
162 default_algorithms = ALL
163 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
166 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
169 *) New experimental application configuration code.
172 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
173 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
174 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
175 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
177 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
178 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
180 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
181 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
183 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
184 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
187 *) New functions/macros
189 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
190 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
191 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
192 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
194 to request calling a callback function
196 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
197 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
199 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
200 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
201 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
202 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
203 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
204 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
205 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
206 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
207 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
208 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
210 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
211 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
214 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
215 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
216 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
217 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
218 the configuration scripts.
220 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
221 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
222 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
224 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
225 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
227 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
228 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
229 when reusing an existing buffer.
232 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
233 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
236 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
237 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
240 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
241 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
242 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
244 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
246 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
247 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
248 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
249 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
250 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
251 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
254 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
255 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
256 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
257 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
259 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
260 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
261 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
262 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
264 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
265 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
268 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
269 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
270 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
271 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
272 default), and then completely removed.
275 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
276 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
277 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
278 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
279 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
280 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
281 particular extension is supported.
284 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
285 to retain compatibility with existing code.
288 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
289 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
290 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
291 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
292 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
293 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
294 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
295 requires the destination to be valid.
297 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
298 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
301 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
302 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
303 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
306 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
307 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
309 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
310 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
311 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
312 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
313 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
314 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
315 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
316 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
317 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
318 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
319 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
320 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
321 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
322 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
323 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
324 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
325 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
326 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
327 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
331 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
334 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
335 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
336 become part of libeay.num as well.
339 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
340 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
341 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
342 false once a handshake has been completed.
343 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
344 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
345 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
346 client has followed the request.)
349 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
350 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
351 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
352 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
355 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
358 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
359 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
360 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
363 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
364 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
367 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
368 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
369 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
370 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
373 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
374 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
375 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
376 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
377 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
378 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
381 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
382 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
383 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
384 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
385 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
386 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
387 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
388 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
391 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
392 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
395 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
398 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
399 md_data void pointer.
402 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
403 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
404 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
405 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
406 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
407 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
410 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
411 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
412 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
413 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
414 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
415 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
416 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
417 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
418 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
419 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
420 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
421 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
422 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
423 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
424 rather than letting it slide.
426 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
427 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
428 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
431 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
432 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
433 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
434 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
435 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
436 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
437 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
438 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
439 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
442 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
443 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
444 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
445 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
446 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
448 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
451 *) Add EVP test program.
454 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
457 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
458 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
459 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
460 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
461 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
464 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
465 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
466 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
467 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
468 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
469 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
470 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
472 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
473 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
474 the number of header dependencies.
479 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
480 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
481 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
482 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
483 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
487 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
488 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
489 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
490 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
495 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
496 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
498 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
501 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
502 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
503 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
504 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
505 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
506 functions prevents this.
509 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
512 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
516 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
517 revocation information is handled using the text based index
518 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
519 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
520 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
523 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
526 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
527 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
528 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
529 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
531 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
532 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
534 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
535 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
536 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
539 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
540 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
541 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
542 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
545 *) Speed up EVP routines.

563 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
564 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
566 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
567 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
568 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
569 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
570 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
571 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
574 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
575 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
578 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
579 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
580 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
581 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
583 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
584 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
585 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
586 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
587 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
588 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
592 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
593 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
594 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
595 and interrupts/cancellations.
598 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
599 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
602 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
603 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
604 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
606 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
607 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
611 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
612 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
613 than this minimum value is recommended.
616 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
617 that are easily reachable.
620 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
621 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
623 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
625 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
626 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
627 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
628 needed for static libraries under Win32.
631 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
632 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
633 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
636 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
637 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
638 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
639 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
640 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
641 internally such as S/MIME.
643 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
644 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
645 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
647 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
651 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
652 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
653 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
654 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
656 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
658 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
660 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
661 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
662 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
666 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
667 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
668 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
669 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
670 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
671 a window system and the like.
674 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
675 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
678 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
679 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
680 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
681 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
682 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
683 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
684 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
685 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
686 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
690 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
691 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
695 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
696 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
697 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
698 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
699 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
700 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
701 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
702 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
705 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
706 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
707 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
708 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
709 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
710 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
711 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
712 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
713 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
714 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
715 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
716 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
717 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
718 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
719 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
720 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
721 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
724 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
725 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
726 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
727 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
728 internal engine_int.h header.
731 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
732 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
733 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
734 modify their own ones).
737 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
738 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
739 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
740 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
741 later on via ctrl() commands.
742 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
743 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
744 structural references.
745 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
746 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
747 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
748 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
749 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
750 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
751 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
752 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
753 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
754 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
755 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
756 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
759 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
760 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
761 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
762 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
763 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
764 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
765 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
766 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
769 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
770 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
773 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
774 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
777 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
778 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
779 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
780 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
781 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
782 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
783 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
786 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
787 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
788 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
789 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
790 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
792 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
793 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
797 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
799 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
800 operations and provides various method functions that can also
801 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
803 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
804 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
806 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
807 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
808 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
810 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
813 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
814 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
816 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
818 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
819 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
820 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
823 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
824 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
827 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
828 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
829 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
830 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
831 is 40 of more characters long.
834 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
835 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
839 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
840 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
843 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
844 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
848 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
850 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
851 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
854 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
856 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
857 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
858 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
860 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
861 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
863 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
866 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
870 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
871 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
872 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
873 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
875 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
877 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
878 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
880 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
881 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
882 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
883 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
884 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
885 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
887 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
888 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
890 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
891 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
893 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
894 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
896 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
897 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
898 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
899 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
901 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
902 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
904 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
905 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
907 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
908 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
909 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
910 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
911 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
914 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
915 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
916 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
917 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
920 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
921 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
922 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
926 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
927 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
928 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
929 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
930 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
931 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
932 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
933 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
937 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
938 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
941 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
942 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
943 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
944 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
947 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
948 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
949 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
950 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
951 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
952 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
953 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
954 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
955 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
956 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
959 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
960 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
961 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
962 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
963 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
964 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
965 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
966 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
968 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
969 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
970 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
971 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
974 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
975 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
976 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
977 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
979 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
980 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
981 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
982 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
983 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
987 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
988 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
989 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
990 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
994 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
995 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
996 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
999 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1000 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1001 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1002 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1003 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1006 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1009 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1010 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1011 option to ocsp utility.
1014 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1015 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1016 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1017 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1018 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1019 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1020 the request is nonce-less.
1023 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1024 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1025 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1028 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1029 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1030 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1033 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1034 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1035 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1036 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1037 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1040 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1041 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1045 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1046 additional certificates supplied.
1049 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1050 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1054 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1055 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1056 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
1057 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
1058 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1060 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1061 request to response.
1064 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1065 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1066 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1067 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1068 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1069 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1070 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1071 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1072 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1073 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1074 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1077 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1078 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1079 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1080 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1083 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1084 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1086 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1087 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1088 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1091 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1092 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1093 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1094 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1095 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1097 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1098 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1099 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1102 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1103 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1104 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1105 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1106 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1107 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1108 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1109 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1111 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1112 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1113 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1114 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1115 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1116 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1119 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1120 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1121 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1122 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1123 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1124 printout format cleaned up.
1127 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1128 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1129 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1130 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1131 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1132 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1133 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1134 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1137 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1138 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1139 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1140 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1141 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1142 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1143 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1144 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1147 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1148 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1149 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1150 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1152 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1154 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1155 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1156 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1157 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1160 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1161 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1162 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1163 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1165 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1167 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1168 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1169 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1170 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1172 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1173 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1175 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1176 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1177 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1180 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1181 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1182 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1185 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1186 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1187 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1188 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1189 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1190 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1191 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1192 functions are provided:
1194 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1195 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1196 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1197 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1199 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1200 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1201 extended allocation function is enabled.
1202 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1203 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1204 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1206 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1207 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1208 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1209 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1210 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1213 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1214 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1215 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1217 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1218 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1219 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1222 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1223 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1224 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1225 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1226 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1227 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1228 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1229 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1230 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1233 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1234 provide utility functions which an application needing
1235 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1236 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1237 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1239 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1240 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1241 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1242 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1243 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1244 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1245 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1246 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1247 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1249 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1250 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1251 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1252 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1255 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1256 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1257 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1258 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1259 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1260 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1261 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1262 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1263 will be added elsewhere.
1266 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1267 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1268 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1269 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1272 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1273 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1274 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1275 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1276 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1277 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1278 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1279 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1280 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1281 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1282 to produce the required SET OF.
1285 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1286 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1287 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1290 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1291 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1292 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1293 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1294 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1295 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1298 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1299 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1300 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1303 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1304 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1305 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1308 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1309 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1310 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1311 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1312 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1315 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1316 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1319 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1320 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1321 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1322 certifcates and CRLs.
1325 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1326 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1327 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1330 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1331 entries for variables.
1334 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1335 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1336 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1337 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1340 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1341 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1342 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1343 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1344 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1345 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1348 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1349 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1351 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1352 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1353 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1356 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1360 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1361 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1362 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1363 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1364 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1365 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1368 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1371 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1372 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1373 for now but they will eventually go away.
1376 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1377 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1378 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1379 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1380 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1381 has also been converted to the new form.
1384 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1385 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1386 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1387 for negative moduli.
1390 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1391 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1394 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1398 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1399 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1400 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1401 type-specific callbacks.
1404 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1406 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1407 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1409 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1410 in sections depending on the subject.
1413 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1417 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1418 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1419 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1420 be handled deterministically).
1421 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1423 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1424 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1425 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1428 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1431 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1432 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1433 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1434 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1435 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1438 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1439 sign of the number in question.
1441 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1443 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1444 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1445 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1446 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1447 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1450 *) New function BN_swap.
1453 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1454 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1455 results on negative inputs.
1458 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1459 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1460 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1463 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1464 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1465 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1466 and add new functions:
1475 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1479 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1481 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1482 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1484 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1485 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1486 be reduced modulo m.
1487 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1489 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1490 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1491 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1492 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1493 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1494 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1498 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1499 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1500 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1501 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1502 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1504 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1505 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1506 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1510 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1513 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1514 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1517 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1518 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1519 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1520 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1524 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1527 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1530 *) Add the following functions:
1532 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1534 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1536 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1538 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1539 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1540 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1541 libraries unless it's really needed.
1543 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1544 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1545 declarations (they differed!).
1548 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1551 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1554 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1557 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1558 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1561 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1562 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1563 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1565 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1566 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1569 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1572 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1575 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1578 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1579 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1580 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1582 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1583 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1584 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1585 different shared library filenames on each system.
1588 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1591 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1592 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1593 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1595 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1598 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1599 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1600 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1601 binary backward compatibility.
1602 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1603 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1604 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1608 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1609 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1610 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1611 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1615 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1618 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1619 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1620 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1621 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1625 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1628 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [XX xxx 2002]
1630 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
1631 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
1632 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
1634 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
1635 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1637 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
1638 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
1639 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
1640 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
1641 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
1642 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
1645 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
1646 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
1647 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
1648 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
1651 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
1654 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
1655 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
1656 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
1657 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
1658 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
1659 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1661 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
1662 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
1663 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
1664 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
1665 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
1668 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
1669 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
1670 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
1671 BN_generate_prime().)
1673 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
1674 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
1675 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
1679 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
1680 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
1683 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
1684 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
1685 when using non-blocking I/O.
1686 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
1688 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
1689 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
1691 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
1692 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
1695 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
1696 configuration for the versions before that.
1697 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1699 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
1700 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
1701 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
1702 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
1705 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
1706 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
1707 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
1710 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
1714 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
1715 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
1717 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
1718 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1719 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1721 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
1722 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
1723 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
1724 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
1725 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
1726 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
1727 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
1730 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
1731 using a local variable.
1732 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1734 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
1735 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
1736 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1738 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
1741 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
1742 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
1744 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
1745 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
1746 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
1748 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
1750 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
1751 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
1752 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
1753 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
1756 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
1760 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
1761 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
1762 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
1763 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
1764 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
1766 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
1767 returns early because it has nothing to do.
1768 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
1770 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1771 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
1772 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
1774 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1775 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
1776 (Use engine 'keyclient')
1777 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
1779 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
1780 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
1781 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
1783 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
1785 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1786 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
1788 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
1790 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1791 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
1792 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1793 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
1795 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1796 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
1797 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1798 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
1800 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
1801 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
1803 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
1804 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
1805 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
1808 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
1809 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
1810 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
1812 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
1814 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
1815 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
1816 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
1817 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
1818 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
1819 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
1820 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
1823 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
1824 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
1825 one of the SSL handshake functions.
1826 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
1828 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
1829 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
1830 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
1831 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
1832 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
1833 the client will at least see that alert.
1836 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
1840 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
1841 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
1842 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
1844 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
1845 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
1846 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
1847 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
1850 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
1851 before just sending a HelloRequest.
1852 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
1854 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
1855 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
1856 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
1857 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
1858 may leak via logfiles.)
1860 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
1861 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
1862 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
1863 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
1867 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
1868 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1871 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
1872 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
1873 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
1874 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
1875 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
1878 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
1879 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
1881 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
1882 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
1883 followed by modular reduction.
1884 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
1886 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
1887 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
1890 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
1891 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
1892 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
1893 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
1896 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
1899 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
1900 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
1903 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
1904 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
1905 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
1906 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
1907 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
1908 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
1910 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
1912 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
1913 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
1914 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
1915 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
1916 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
1918 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
1921 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
1922 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
1923 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
1924 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
1925 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
1926 to allow the necessary settings.
1929 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
1930 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
1931 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
1932 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
1935 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
1936 dh->length and always used
1938 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
1940 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
1941 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
1942 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
1943 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
1944 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
1949 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
1951 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
1957 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
1958 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
1959 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
1960 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
1962 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
1963 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
1964 always reject numbers >= n.
1967 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
1968 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
1969 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
1970 variable) is not atomic.
1973 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
1974 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
1975 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
1976 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
1978 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
1979 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
1981 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
1983 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
1985 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
1988 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
1990 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
1991 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
1992 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
1993 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
1994 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
1995 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
1996 to traverse all of 'state'.
1998 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
1999 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2000 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2002 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2003 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2005 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2006 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2007 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2008 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2009 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2010 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2011 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2012 further strengthens the PRNG.
2015 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2018 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2019 an error message in this case.
2022 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2025 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2026 positive and less than q.
2029 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2030 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2032 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2034 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2035 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2039 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2041 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2042 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2043 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2044 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2045 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2046 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2047 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2050 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2051 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2052 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2053 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2055 Both problems are now fixed.
2058 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2059 (previously it was 1024).
2062 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2063 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2066 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2069 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2070 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2071 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2074 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2075 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2076 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2077 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2078 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2079 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2080 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2081 environment variables.
2083 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2084 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2085 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2088 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2089 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2090 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2091 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2092 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2093 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2096 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2100 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2102 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2103 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2105 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2106 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2107 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2108 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2112 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2113 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2114 amount of data available.
2115 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2116 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2118 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2119 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2120 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2121 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2124 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2125 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2129 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2130 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2131 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2132 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2135 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2138 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2141 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2142 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2144 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2146 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2147 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2148 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2149 (but broken) behaviour.
2152 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2154 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2156 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2157 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2160 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2164 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2165 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2167 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2170 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2171 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2172 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2174 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2175 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2176 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2179 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2180 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2183 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2184 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2186 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2188 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2190 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2191 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2192 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2193 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2196 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2199 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2200 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2201 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2203 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2206 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2208 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2209 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2210 but the code is actually correct.
2213 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2214 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2215 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2216 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2217 and leaves the highest bit random.
2218 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2220 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2221 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2222 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2223 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2224 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2225 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2226 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2229 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2232 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2233 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2236 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2237 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2238 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2239 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2243 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2244 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2245 and break the signature.
2247 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2249 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2253 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2254 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2255 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2256 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2257 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2260 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2261 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2263 *) ./config script fixes.
2264 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2266 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2269 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2270 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2271 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2272 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2273 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2275 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2276 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2279 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2280 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2283 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2284 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2285 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2286 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2288 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2289 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2291 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2292 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2293 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2294 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2295 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2297 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2300 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2303 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2306 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2309 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2310 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2313 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2314 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2315 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2316 result of the server certificate verification.)
2319 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2320 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2321 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2325 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2326 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2327 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2328 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2329 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2330 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2331 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2332 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2335 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2336 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2337 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2338 happening the other way round.
2341 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2342 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2345 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2346 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2347 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2348 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2351 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2352 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2354 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2356 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2357 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2358 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2361 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2363 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2365 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2369 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2371 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2372 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2373 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2374 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2375 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2377 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2378 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2382 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2385 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2387 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2388 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2389 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2390 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2391 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2392 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2393 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2394 by the Finished messages.
2397 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2398 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2400 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2401 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2402 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2403 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2404 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2408 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2409 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2410 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2411 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2412 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2413 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2414 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2415 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2416 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2420 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2421 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2422 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2423 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2425 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2426 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2427 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2428 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2429 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2432 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2433 been tested well enough.
2436 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2437 it can return incorrect results.
2438 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2439 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2442 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2443 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2444 include zero length content when signing messages.
2447 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2448 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2451 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2454 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2458 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2459 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2460 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2461 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2462 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2463 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2466 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2467 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2469 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2470 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2472 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2473 random number < q in the DSA library.
2476 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2477 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2478 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2479 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2480 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2481 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2482 just makes things more complicated.)
2485 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2489 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2490 work better on such systems.
2491 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2493 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2494 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2495 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2498 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2499 if there was more than one signature.
2500 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2502 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2503 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2504 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2505 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2508 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2509 rather than always using the current time.
2512 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2513 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2514 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2515 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2516 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2517 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2519 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2520 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2522 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2524 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2525 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2526 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2527 the same hash value.
2529 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2530 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2531 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2532 with X509_STORE internally.
2534 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2535 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2537 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2538 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2539 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2540 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2541 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2542 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2543 entirely (maybe later...).
2545 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2547 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2548 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2549 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2550 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2551 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2552 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2553 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2554 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2556 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2557 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2559 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2560 to customise the verify behaviour.
2563 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2564 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2567 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2568 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2569 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2570 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2571 request is improperly encoded.
2574 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2575 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2578 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2579 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2581 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2582 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2586 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2587 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2588 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2591 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2592 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2593 BIO/fp routines also added.
2596 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2597 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2599 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2600 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2601 demos/state_machine.
2604 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2605 generation and verification.
2608 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2609 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2610 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2611 encode and decode it manually.
2614 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2616 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2618 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2619 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2620 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2621 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2623 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2624 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2625 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2626 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2627 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2630 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2633 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2634 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2635 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2637 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2638 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2639 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2640 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2641 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2642 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2643 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2644 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2646 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2647 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2649 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2651 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2652 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2653 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2657 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2658 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
2659 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
2660 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
2664 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
2666 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
2669 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
2670 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
2671 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
2672 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
2673 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
2674 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
2675 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
2676 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
2677 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
2678 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
2679 short or long names are found.
2682 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
2683 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
2685 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
2686 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
2687 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
2688 version rollback attacks was not effective.
2690 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
2691 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
2692 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
2693 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
2696 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
2697 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
2698 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
2701 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
2702 these print out strings and name structures based on various
2703 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
2704 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
2705 to allow the various flags to be set.
2708 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
2709 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
2710 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
2711 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
2712 dates to be checked.
2715 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
2716 negative public key encodings) on by default,
2717 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
2720 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
2721 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
2722 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
2725 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
2726 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
2729 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
2730 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
2731 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
2732 are always statically linked for now, but there are
2733 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
2734 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
2737 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
2738 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
2742 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
2746 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
2747 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
2748 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
2749 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
2750 form signing output easier to verify.
2753 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
2756 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
2757 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
2758 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
2759 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
2760 are needed because all other string types have virtually
2761 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
2762 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
2763 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
2764 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
2765 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
2768 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
2770 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
2771 the syntax given in objects.README.
2772 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
2774 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
2777 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
2778 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
2779 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
2780 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
2781 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
2782 consistent name changes.
2785 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
2788 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
2789 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
2790 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
2791 environment variable, or the default random state file.
2794 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
2795 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
2796 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
2800 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
2801 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
2802 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
2803 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
2806 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
2807 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
2808 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
2809 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
2810 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
2811 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
2812 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
2813 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
2814 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
2815 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
2816 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
2819 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
2820 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
2821 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
2822 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
2823 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
2824 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
2825 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
2826 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
2827 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
2828 algorithm to openssl-dev.
2831 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
2832 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
2833 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
2834 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
2836 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
2837 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
2838 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
2839 omit any duplicate addresses.
2842 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
2843 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
2846 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
2847 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
2848 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
2849 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
2850 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
2853 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
2855 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
2856 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
2857 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
2858 Free => OPENSSL_free
2861 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
2862 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
2865 *) CygWin32 support.
2866 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
2868 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
2869 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
2870 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
2871 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
2872 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
2876 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
2877 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
2878 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
2879 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
2880 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
2881 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
2882 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
2885 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
2886 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
2887 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
2888 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
2889 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
2890 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
2891 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
2892 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
2893 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
2894 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
2895 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
2898 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
2899 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
2900 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
2901 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
2902 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
2904 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
2905 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
2906 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
2907 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
2908 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
2910 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
2913 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
2914 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
2915 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
2916 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
2918 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
2920 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
2923 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
2924 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
2925 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
2928 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
2929 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
2930 any installed hardware versions can.
2933 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
2934 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
2935 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
2939 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
2940 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
2941 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
2942 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
2943 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
2945 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
2946 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
2949 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
2950 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
2953 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
2954 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
2955 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
2959 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
2962 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
2963 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
2964 but no ssl client purpose.
2965 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
2967 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
2968 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
2969 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
2970 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
2971 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
2972 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
2973 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
2974 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
2975 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
2976 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
2977 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
2980 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
2981 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
2982 be obtained from the error queue.
2985 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
2986 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
2987 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
2988 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
2991 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
2994 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
2995 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
2996 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
2997 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
2998 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3001 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3002 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3003 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3004 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3005 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3008 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3009 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3010 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3012 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3014 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3015 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3016 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3017 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3018 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3019 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3020 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3021 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3022 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3023 or "the configuration storage API"...
3025 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3027 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3028 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3030 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3032 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3034 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3035 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3036 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3037 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3038 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3039 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3040 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3042 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3043 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3046 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3047 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3048 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3049 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3052 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3053 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3054 them in a portable way.
3055 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3057 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3059 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3061 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3062 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3064 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3065 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3066 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3069 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3070 was larger than the MD block size.
3071 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3073 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3074 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3075 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3076 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3080 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3081 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3082 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3084 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3086 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3088 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3089 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3090 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3091 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3092 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3093 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3095 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3096 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3098 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3099 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3102 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3105 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3106 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3108 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3109 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3110 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3111 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3114 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3115 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3116 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3117 does not suppress any output.
3120 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3121 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3122 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3123 with all the associated security issues.
3125 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3126 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3127 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3128 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3129 use the value in the default purpose.
3132 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3133 and fix a memory leak.
3136 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3137 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3138 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3139 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3142 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3143 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3144 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3145 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3148 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3149 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3150 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3153 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3154 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3157 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3158 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3162 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3163 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3166 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3167 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3168 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3171 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3172 number generation fails.
3175 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3178 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3179 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3181 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3184 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3185 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3187 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3188 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3190 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3192 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3193 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3196 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3197 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3199 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3200 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3203 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3204 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3205 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3206 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3207 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3208 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3210 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3211 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3212 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3216 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3217 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3218 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3219 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3220 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3221 counter, some don't.)
3222 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3223 counters or duplicate objects.
3226 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3227 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3230 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3231 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3232 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3234 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3235 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3236 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3240 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3241 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3244 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3245 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3246 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3250 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3251 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3252 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3255 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3256 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3257 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3258 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3259 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3260 should work without changes.
3263 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3264 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3265 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3266 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3267 must be defined. E.g.,
3268 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3269 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3270 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3271 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3273 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3277 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3278 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3279 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3282 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3283 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3284 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3285 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3288 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3289 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3290 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3291 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3292 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3293 is prompted for as usual.
3296 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3297 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3298 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3299 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3301 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3302 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3303 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3304 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3307 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3310 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3314 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3317 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3320 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3324 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3327 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3330 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3331 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3334 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3335 options to produce them.
3338 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3339 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3342 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3346 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3347 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3348 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3349 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3350 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3351 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3352 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3355 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3358 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3359 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3360 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3363 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3364 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3366 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3367 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3370 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3371 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3372 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3376 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3377 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3379 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3380 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3381 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3382 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3383 generation becomes much faster.
3385 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3386 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3387 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3388 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3389 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3390 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3391 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3392 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3393 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3394 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3397 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3398 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3399 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3400 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3401 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3402 trial division stage.
3405 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3409 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3412 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3415 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3416 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3417 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3421 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3422 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3423 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3426 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3427 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3428 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3429 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3431 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3432 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3435 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3438 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3439 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3440 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3441 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3444 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3445 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3446 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3449 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3450 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3451 (instead of parameters) in future.
3454 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3455 when a new cipher list is set.
3458 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3459 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3462 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3463 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3464 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3466 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3467 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3468 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3469 an error is flagged.
3471 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3472 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3473 the readability was also increased :-)
3474 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3476 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3477 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3478 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3479 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3483 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3484 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3487 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3488 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3489 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3490 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3493 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3494 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3495 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3496 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3497 because they handle more complex structures.)
3500 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3501 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3502 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3503 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3505 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3506 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3507 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3508 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3509 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3510 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3511 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3514 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3515 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3516 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3517 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3518 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3521 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3524 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3525 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3526 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3527 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3528 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3531 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3535 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3536 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3537 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3538 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3541 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3544 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3545 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3546 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3547 international characters are used.
3549 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3550 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3551 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3555 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3556 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3557 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3560 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3561 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3562 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3563 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3564 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3565 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3567 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3568 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3569 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3570 be handled by the string table functions.
3572 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3573 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3574 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3575 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3576 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3580 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3581 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3582 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3583 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3584 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3586 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3587 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3588 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3589 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3592 *) Enhanced support for Alpha
