5 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
8 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
9 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
11 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
12 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
13 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
15 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
17 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
19 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
21 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
23 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
24 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
26 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
27 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
30 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
31 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
32 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
33 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
35 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
36 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
37 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
38 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
40 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
41 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
42 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
44 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
45 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
48 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
50 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
51 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
53 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
54 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
56 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
59 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
63 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
64 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
65 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
66 algorithms and include tests cases.
69 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
73 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
74 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
77 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
78 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
79 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
82 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
83 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
85 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
86 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
89 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
90 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
94 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
95 sign or verify all in one operation.
98 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
99 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
100 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
103 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
106 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
109 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
110 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
111 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
112 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
113 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
116 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
120 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
121 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
122 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
125 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
126 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
129 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
132 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
133 POST to handle HMAC cases.
136 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
137 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
140 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
141 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
142 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
145 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
146 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
147 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
148 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
149 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
150 requested amount of entropy.
153 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
154 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
157 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
158 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
159 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
163 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
164 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
165 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
168 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
169 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
170 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
171 will never use XTS mode.
174 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
175 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
176 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
177 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
178 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
179 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
182 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
183 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
184 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
185 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
188 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
189 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
190 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
193 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
196 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
199 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
200 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
203 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
204 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
207 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
208 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
211 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
212 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
213 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
214 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
215 and rename any affected symbols.
218 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
219 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
222 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
223 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
224 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
227 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
230 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
231 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
232 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
235 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
236 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
239 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
240 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
241 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
242 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
243 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
244 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
248 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
249 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
250 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
251 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
252 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
253 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
254 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
255 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
258 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
259 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
262 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
264 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
265 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
267 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
268 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
269 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
270 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
271 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
272 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
274 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
275 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
276 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
278 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
280 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
284 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
285 Add CMAC pkey methods.
288 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
289 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
290 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
293 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
294 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
295 multi-process servers.
298 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
299 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
300 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
301 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
302 RAND_METHOD structure.
305 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
306 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
307 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
308 whose return value is often ignored.
311 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
313 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
314 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
315 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
318 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
319 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
320 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
321 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
324 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
325 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
327 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
328 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
329 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
330 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
331 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
333 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
336 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
337 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
338 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
339 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
341 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
343 [Shay Gueron (Intel Corp)]
345 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
346 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
347 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
350 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
353 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
355 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
357 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
359 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
361 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
362 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
364 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
365 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
368 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
369 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
372 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
373 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
374 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
375 algorithms and include tests cases.
378 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
380 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
382 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
383 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
384 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
385 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
386 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
387 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
388 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
390 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
391 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
394 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
395 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
396 summary of the connection parameters.
399 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
400 of connection parameters.
403 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
404 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
406 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
407 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
410 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
413 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
414 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
417 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
418 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
421 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
425 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
426 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
427 CRLs using the OCSP API.
430 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
433 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
434 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
437 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
438 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
439 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
443 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
444 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
447 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
451 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
455 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
456 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
457 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
458 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
461 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
462 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
465 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
466 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
467 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
471 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
472 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
473 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
477 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
480 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
481 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
482 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
483 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
484 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
485 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
486 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
488 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
489 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
493 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
494 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
495 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
498 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
499 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
500 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
501 supported signature algorithms.
504 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
507 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
508 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
509 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
510 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
511 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
512 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
513 certificate and specify the whole chain.
516 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
517 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
518 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
519 to have similar checks in it.
521 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
522 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
523 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
524 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
525 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
528 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
529 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
530 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
531 shared signature algorithms.
534 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
535 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
539 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
540 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
541 it couldn't be removed.
544 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
545 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
548 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
549 functions. Add manual page.
550 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
552 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
553 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
557 *) Fix OCSP checking.
558 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
560 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
561 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
562 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
563 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
567 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
568 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
571 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
572 platform support for Linux and Android.
575 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
578 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
579 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
580 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
581 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
582 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
585 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
586 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
587 the new parameter format automatically.
590 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
591 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
594 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
597 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
598 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
599 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
600 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
601 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
604 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
605 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
606 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
607 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
608 to set list of supported curves.
611 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
612 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
613 to print out received values.
616 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
617 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
618 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
621 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
622 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
625 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
626 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
629 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
633 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
635 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
636 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
637 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
639 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
640 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
641 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
643 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
644 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
647 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
649 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
651 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
652 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
653 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
654 code on a vulnerable client or server.
656 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
657 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
659 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
660 are subject to a denial of service attack.
662 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
663 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
664 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
666 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
668 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
670 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
672 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
674 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
675 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
677 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
679 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
680 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
683 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
684 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
685 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
686 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
688 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL

693 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
694 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
695 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
697 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
699 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
700 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
701 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
702 is at least 512 bytes long.
704 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
706 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
708 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
709 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
710 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
713 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
714 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
715 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
718 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
719 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
720 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
721 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
722 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
723 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
724 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
726 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
728 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
729 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
730 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
732 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
734 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
736 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
737 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
738 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
740 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
741 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
742 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
743 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
745 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
747 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
748 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
749 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
750 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
751 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
755 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
756 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
759 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
760 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
762 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
763 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
764 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
765 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
766 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
768 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
771 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
775 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
777 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
778 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
780 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
781 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
785 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
786 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
789 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
793 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
795 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
796 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
797 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
798 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
799 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
800 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
801 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
802 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
803 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
804 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
807 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
808 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
809 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
810 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
811 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
812 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
816 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
818 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
819 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
820 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
822 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
823 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
825 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
827 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
830 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
831 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
833 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
834 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
835 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
836 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
837 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
838 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
839 Most broken servers should now work.
840 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
841 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
844 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
847 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
849 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
850 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
853 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
854 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
855 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
856 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
857 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
860 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
861 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
862 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
863 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
864 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
867 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
868 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
870 *) Add support for SCTP.
871 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
873 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
874 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
876 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
878 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
879 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
880 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
881 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
882 - s390x: z196 support;
883 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
887 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
888 (removal of unnecessary code)
889 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
891 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
894 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
897 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
898 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
899 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
901 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
903 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
904 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
905 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
906 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
907 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
909 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
910 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
911 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
913 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
914 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
915 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
917 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
918 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
920 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
922 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
923 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
924 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
927 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
928 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
932 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
933 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
934 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
937 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
938 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
939 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
940 the appropriate parameters.
943 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
944 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
945 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
946 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
947 against a number of sample certificates.
950 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
951 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
953 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
954 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
956 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
957 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
961 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
965 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
966 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
967 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
971 *) Session-handling fixes:
972 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
973 but also support Session Tickets.
974 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
975 presented a ticket with an expired session.
976 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
977 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
978 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
979 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
981 *) Fix PSK session representation.
984 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
986 This work was sponsored by Intel.
989 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
990 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
991 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
992 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
993 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
996 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
997 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1000 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1001 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1002 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1005 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1006 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
1007 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
1008 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1011 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1012 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1013 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1016 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1017 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1019 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1022 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1023 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1026 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1029 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1030 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1033 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1034 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1037 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1040 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1041 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1042 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1045 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1048 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1051 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1052 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1055 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1056 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1057 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1060 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1063 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1067 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1068 FIPS modules versions.
1071 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
1072 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
1073 until after the certificate request message is received.
1076 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
1077 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
1078 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
1079 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
1082 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
1083 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
1084 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
1085 support yet and no support for client certificates.
1088 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
1089 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
1090 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
1091 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
1092 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
1093 and version checking.
1096 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
1097 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
1098 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
1099 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
1103 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1105 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
1108 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
1109 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
1110 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1112 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
1113 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
1114 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
1117 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
1118 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1120 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1121 a few changes are required:
1123 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1124 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1125 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1126 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1127 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1130 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
1132 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1134 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1135 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1136 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1138 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1139 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1140 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1141 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1143 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1145 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1146 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1149 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1150 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1151 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1152 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1153 (This is a backport)
1154 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1156 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1159 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
1161 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
1164 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1167 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1168 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1172 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1173 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1176 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
1178 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1179 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1180 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1182 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1183 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1185 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1187 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1189 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1190 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1191 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1192 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1193 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1194 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1195 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1196 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1197 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1200 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1201 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1202 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1205 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1207 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1208 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1209 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1210 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1213 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1215 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1216 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1217 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1218 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1219 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1220 paper describing this attack can be found at:

1249 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1250 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1252 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1253 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1255 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1256 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1257 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1259 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1260 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1261 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1263 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1264 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1265 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1266 the last update always remained unused).
1267 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1269 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1270 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1272 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1274 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1275 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1276 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1278 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1279 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1280 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1282 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1285 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1286 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1287 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1290 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1291 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1293 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1295 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1297 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1299 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1300 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1302 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1303 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1307 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1309 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1310 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1311 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1314 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1315 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1316 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1319 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1321 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1322 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1323 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1326 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1330 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1332 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1334 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1336 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1338 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1339 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1340 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1343 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1346 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1347 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1348 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1350 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1351 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1352 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1355 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1356 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1359 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1360 some responders need this.
1363 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1365 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1367 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1368 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1369 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1372 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1375 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1376 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1377 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1378 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1379 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1380 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1381 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1382 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1385 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1386 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1387 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1388 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1390 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1391 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1393 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1397 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1398 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1399 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1400 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1401 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1402 attempting to work them out.
1405 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1406 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1407 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1408 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1411 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1412 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1413 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1414 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1415 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1418 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1419 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1426 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1428 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1432 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1433 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1435 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1436 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1438 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1439 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1440 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1441 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1442 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1445 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1446 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1447 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1450 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1451 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1454 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1455 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1457 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1458 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1461 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1464 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1465 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1466 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1470 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1471 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1472 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1473 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1474 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1475 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1478 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1479 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1481 This work was sponsored by Google.
1484 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1485 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1486 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1487 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1488 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1489 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1490 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1493 This work was sponsored by Google.
1496 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1498 This work was sponsored by Google.
1501 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1502 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1503 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1504 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1506 This work was sponsored by Google.
1509 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1510 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1511 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1512 CRL functionality in future.
1514 This work was sponsored by Google.
1517 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1519 This work was sponsored by Google.
1522 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1523 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1525 This work was sponsored by Google.
1528 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1529 and URI types are currently supported.
1531 This work was sponsored by Google.
1534 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1535 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1536 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1537 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1538 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1539 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1540 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1541 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1543 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1544 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1545 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1547 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1548 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1549 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1550 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1552 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1553 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1554 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1555 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1556 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1557 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1558 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1559 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1561 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1563 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1564 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1565 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1567 This work was sponsored by Google.
1570 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1573 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1574 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1575 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1578 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1579 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1582 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1583 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1586 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1587 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1588 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1589 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1590 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1591 content types and variants.
1594 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1597 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1598 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1599 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1600 files from the associated perl scripts.
1603 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1604 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1605 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1607 *) s390x assembler pack.
1610 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1614 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1615 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1616 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1617 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1618 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1619 to use. For example, specify an option
1621 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1623 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1624 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1625 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1626 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1627 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1628 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1630 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1631 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1632 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1633 return non-zero for success.
1635 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1638 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1639 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1643 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1646 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1647 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1648 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1649 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1650 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1651 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1652 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1653 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1654 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1656 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1657 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1658 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1659 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1660 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1661 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1663 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1664 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1665 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1666 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1667 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1668 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1672 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1675 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1677 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1678 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1679 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1682 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1683 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1686 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1687 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1688 with no application modification.
1690 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1691 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1693 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1694 or server extensions to be examined.
1696 This work was sponsored by Google.
1699 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1700 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1701 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1703 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1704 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1705 ciphersuite support.
1706 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1708 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1709 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1710 to output in BER and PEM format.
1713 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1714 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1715 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1716 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1717 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1720 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1721 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1722 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1726 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1727 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1728 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1729 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1730 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1731 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1732 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1733 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1736 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1737 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1738 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1739 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1741 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1742 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1743 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1747 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1748 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1749 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1750 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1751 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1752 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1753 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1754 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1755 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1757 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1758 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1759 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1760 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1761 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1762 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1763 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1764 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1765 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1766 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1767 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1770 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1771 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1772 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1774 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1775 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1779 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1780 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1781 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1784 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1785 it yet and it is largely untested.
1788 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1791 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1792 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1793 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1796 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1799 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1800 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1801 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1802 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1805 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1806 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1807 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1808 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1809 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1812 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1813 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1816 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1817 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1818 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1819 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1822 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1823 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1824 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1825 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1828 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1829 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1832 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1833 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1834 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1835 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1838 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1839 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1840 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1843 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1847 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1848 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1851 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1852 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1853 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1857 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1858 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1859 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1862 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1863 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1864 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1865 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1868 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1869 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1870 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1871 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1872 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1873 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1876 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1877 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1878 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1879 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1880 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1882 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1883 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1884 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1885 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1886 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1889 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1890 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1891 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1892 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1894 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1895 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1896 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1897 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1898 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1904 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1905 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1909 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1910 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1913 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1914 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1917 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1918 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1919 functional reference processing.
1922 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1923 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1927 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1928 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1929 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1932 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1933 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1934 application to support multiple signers.
1937 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1941 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1942 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1943 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1944 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1945 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1948 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1952 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1953 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1954 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1955 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1959 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1960 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1961 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1962 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1963 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1964 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1965 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1966 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1969 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1970 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1971 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1972 between digests and public key types.
1975 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1976 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1977 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1978 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1981 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1982 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1986 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1989 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1993 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1994 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1995 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1996 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2001 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2003 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2005 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2007 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2008 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2009 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2010 functionality for RSA.
2013 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2014 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2015 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2018 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2019 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2022 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2023 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2024 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2027 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2028 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2031 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2032 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2035 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2036 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2040 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2041 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2042 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2046 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2047 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2048 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2049 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2050 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2051 of public and private key structures.
2054 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2055 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2058 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2059 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2060 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2063 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2067 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2068 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2069 SSL_get_psk_identity
2070 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2072 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2074 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2075 and response verification functionality.
2076 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2078 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2079 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2080 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2081 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2082 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2083 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2084 server_name extension.
2086 New functions (subject to change):
2088 SSL_get_servername()
2089 SSL_get_servername_type()
2092 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2094 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2095 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2096 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2097 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2098 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2100 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2102 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2103 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2104 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2105 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2106 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2107 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2110 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2112 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2115 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2116 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2117 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2118 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2119 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2122 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2123 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
2127 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
2128 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
2129 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
2130 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
2133 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
2134 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
2135 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
2136 using the maximum available value.
2139 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
2140 in addition to the text details.
2143 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2144 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2145 handle several customised structures at all.
2148 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2149 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2150 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2153 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2156 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2157 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2158 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2161 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2162 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2163 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2166 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2167 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2171 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2174 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2177 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
2179 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2181 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2182 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2183 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2185 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2186 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2187 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2188 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2190 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2192 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2193 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2196 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2197 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2198 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2199 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2200 (This is a backport)
2201 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2203 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2206 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
2208 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
2211 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2212 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2216 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2217 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2220 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
2222 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
2223 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
2224 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
2225 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
2226 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2228 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
2230 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2231 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2232 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2234 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2235 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2237 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2239 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
2241 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2242 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2243 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2244 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2245 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2246 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2247 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2248 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2249 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2252 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2253 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2254 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2257 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
2259 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2260 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2261 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2262 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2265 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
2267 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2268 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2269 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2270 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2271 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2272 paper describing this attack can be found at:

2278 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)

2281 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
2282 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
2284 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2286 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2288 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2289 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2290 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)

2298 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2299 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2301 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2302 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2304 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2305 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2306 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2308 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2309 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2310 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2312 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2313 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2314 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2315 the last update always remained unused).
2316 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2318 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2319 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
2320 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2322 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2325 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2326 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2328 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf

2337 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2338 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2342 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
2344 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2345 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2346 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2349 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2350 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2351 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2354 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
2356 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2357 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2358 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2361 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
2364 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
2365 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
2366 some broken encodings work correctly.
2369 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
2370 is also one of the inputs.
2371 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2373 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
2374 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
2375 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
2379 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
2381 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after

2385 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
2386 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
2388 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
2389 common in certificates and some applications which only call
2390 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
2394 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com

2399 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2401 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2402 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2403 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2404 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2405 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2406 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2407 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2408 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2410 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2411 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2412 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2414 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2416 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2417 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2419 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2420 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2423 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2424 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2425 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2428 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2429 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2430 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2431 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2432 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2433 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2436 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2437 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2438 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2441 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2442 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2443 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2444 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2445 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2446 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2450 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2451 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2454 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2455 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2456 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2459 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2462 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2463 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2464 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2465 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2466 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2467 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2468 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2469 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2470 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2473 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2474 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2475 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2478 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2479 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2482 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2483 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2484 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2485 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2486 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2487 know what you are doing.

2490 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2491 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2492 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2493 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2494 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2495 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2499 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2500 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2501 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2503 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2505 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2506 warnings in other configurations.
2509 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2510 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2511 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2513 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2515 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2516 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2517 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2519 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2520 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2521 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2522 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2525 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2529 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2530 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2532 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2534 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2535 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2536 other than a simple chain.
2537 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2539 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2540 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2541 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2542 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2545 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2546 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2547 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2548 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2549 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2550 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2551 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2552 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2553 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2555 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2556 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2557 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2558 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2559 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2560 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2562 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2564 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2565 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2568 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2569 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2572 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2574 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2576 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2577 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2578 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2579 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2580 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2584 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2586 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2587 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2588 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2589 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2591 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2592 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2593 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2594 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2596 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2597 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2598 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2601 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2602 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2606 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2607 to handle some structures.
2610 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2612 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2614 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2617 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2620 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2623 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2624 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2628 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2630 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2632 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2634 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2637 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2638 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2639 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2640 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2642 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2643 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2645 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2646 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2649 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2650 s_client and s_server.
2653 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2654 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2656 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2657 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2659 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2660 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2661 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2662 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2663 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2666 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2668 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2669 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2672 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2673 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2676 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2677 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2678 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2679 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2681 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2682 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2684 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2686 *) Various precautionary measures:
2688 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2690 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2691 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2692 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2694 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2695 outside the expected range.
2697 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2700 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2702 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2703 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2704 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2706 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2709 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2712 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2714 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2717 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2718 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2719 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2721 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2724 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2725 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2726 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2730 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2732 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2733 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2734 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2735 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2737 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2738 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2741 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2743 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2744 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2745 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2747 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2749 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2750 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2751 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2752 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2755 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2756 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2757 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2758 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2759 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2760 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2761 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2763 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2765 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2766 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2767 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2768 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2769 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2771 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2772 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2774 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2775 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2776 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2777 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2778 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2780 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2782 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2783 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2784 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2785 sets may exist with different names.
2788 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2789 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2790 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2791 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2792 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2793 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2794 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2795 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2796 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2798 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2800 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2801 implemention in the following ways:
2803 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2806 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2807 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2808 ignored for embedded content.
2810 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2811 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2814 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2815 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2816 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2817 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2819 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2820 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2823 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2824 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2827 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2828 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2829 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2830 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2831 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2832 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2836 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2837 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2838 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2842 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2843 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2844 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2845 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2846 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2847 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2848 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2849 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2851 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2852 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2853 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2854 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2855 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2856 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2857 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2859 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2860 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2861 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2862 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2863 to s_client and s_server.
2866 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2868 *) Fix various bugs:
2869 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2870 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2871 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2872 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2873 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2875 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2877 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2878 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2879 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2880 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2881 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2882 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2883 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2884 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2887 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2888 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2889 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2892 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2893 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2894 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2897 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2898 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2901 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2902 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2903 with no application modification.
2905 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2906 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2908 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2909 or server extensions to be examined.
2911 This work was sponsored by Google.
2914 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2915 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2916 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2917 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2918 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2919 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2920 server_name extension.
2922 New functions (subject to change):
2924 SSL_get_servername()
2925 SSL_get_servername_type()
2928 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2930 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2931 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2932 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2933 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2934 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2936 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2938 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2939 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2940 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2941 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2942 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2943 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2946 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2948 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2951 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2954 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2955 (which previously caused an internal error).
2958 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2961 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2962 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2964 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2965 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2966 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2968 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2969 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2970 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2971 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2973 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2974 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2975 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2976 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2978 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2979 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2980 information. For detailed background information, see
2981 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2982 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2983 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2984 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2985 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2986 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2987 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2988 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2989 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2990 remove a conditional branch.
2992 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2993 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2994 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2995 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2996 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2997 remains as a deprecated alias.
2999 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3000 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3001 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3002 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3004 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3005 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3006 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3007 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3008 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3009 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3010 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3011 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3013 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3015 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3016 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3017 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3018 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3019 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3020 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3021 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3022 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3023 in a different context.
3026 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3027 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3028 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3031 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3032 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3033 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3035 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3037 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3038 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3039 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3040 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3041 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3044 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3045 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3046 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3047 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3048 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3049 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3052 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3053 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3054 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3055 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3056 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3059 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3060 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3062 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3063 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3064 Improve header file function name parsing.
3067 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3068 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3071 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3073 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3074 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3075 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3077 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3078 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3080 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3081 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3083 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3084 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3085 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3087 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3088 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3089 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3090 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3091 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3092 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3093 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3094 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3095 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3097 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3098 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3099 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3100 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3101 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3103 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3104 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3105 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3106 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3107 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3108 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3109 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3110 multiple values to extend the available space.
3114 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3116 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3117 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3119 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3122 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3123 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3124 undesirable limitations.
3125 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3127 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3128 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3129 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3130 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3131 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3132 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3133 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3136 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3138 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3139 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3140 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3142 The latter two were purportedly from
3143 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3146 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3147 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3148 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3151 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3152 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3155 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3156 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3157 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3158 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3160 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3161 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3162 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3165 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3166 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3167 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3168 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3169 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3170 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3173 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3175 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3176 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3179 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3180 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3182 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3183 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3184 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3185 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3188 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3189 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3192 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3193 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3194 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3195 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3196 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3197 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3198 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3202 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3203 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3204 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3205 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3208 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3209 under VC++ build system.
3212 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3213 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3216 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3218 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3219 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3220 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3221 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3222 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3224 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3225 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3226 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3228 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3231 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3232 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3235 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3236 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3238 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3241 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3242 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3244 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3245 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3248 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3249 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3253 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3255 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3258 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3261 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3262 key into the same file any more.
3265 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3268 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3269 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3271 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3272 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3275 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3276 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3277 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3278 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3279 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3280 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3282 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3283 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3284 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3287 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3288 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3289 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3290 - add new function for parameter creation
3291 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3292 BN_BLINDING parameters
3293 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3294 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3295 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3299 *) Add support for DTLS.
3300 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3302 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3303 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3306 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3307 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3310 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3311 the apps/openssl applications.
3314 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3315 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3316 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3319 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3320 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3322 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3323 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3325 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3326 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3327 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3328 avoid this algorithm.)
3332 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3333 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3334 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3337 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3338 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3341 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3342 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3343 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3346 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3348 The blank line is mandatory.
3352 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3353 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3357 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3358 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3360 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3361 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3362 to support policy checking and print out.
3365 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3366 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3367 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3368 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3370 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3373 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3374 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3376 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3377 implementation contributed by IBM.
3378 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3380 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3381 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3382 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3383 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3385 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3386 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3388 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3389 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3390 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3391 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3392 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3393 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3396 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3397 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3398 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3399 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3400 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3401 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3402 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3405 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3408 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3409 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3410 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3411 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3412 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3413 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3414 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3415 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3418 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3419 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3420 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3421 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3424 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3427 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3430 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3431 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3432 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3433 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3434 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3435 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3436 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3439 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3440 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3443 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3444 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3445 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3448 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3449 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3450 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3454 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3455 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3458 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3459 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3460 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3461 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3464 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3465 initialised value as BN_new().
3466 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3468 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3471 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3472 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3473 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3474 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3475 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3476 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3477 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3478 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3479 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3480 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3481 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3482 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3483 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3484 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3485 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3487 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3488 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3489 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3490 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3493 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3494 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3495 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3496 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3497 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3498 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3499 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3500 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3501 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3504 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3505 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3506 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3507 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3508 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3509 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3510 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3513 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3514 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3515 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3516 these have been updated also.
3519 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3520 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3521 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3522 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3523 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3527 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3528 structure of type "other".
3531 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3532 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3533 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3534 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3535 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3536 situation in the script.
3537 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3539 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3540 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3541 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3542 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3543 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3544 used as premaster secret.
3545 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3547 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3548 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3549 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3551 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3552 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3554 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3555 control of the error stack.
3558 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3561 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3562 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3563 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3564 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3567 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3568 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3569 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3572 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3573 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3574 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3578 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3579 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3580 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3581 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3584 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3585 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3586 the following flags are defined:
3588 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3589 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3590 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3593 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3594 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3595 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3596 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3600 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3601 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3602 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3603 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3604 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3607 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3608 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3609 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3612 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3613 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3614 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3615 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3616 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3617 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3620 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3624 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3627 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3630 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3633 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3634 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3635 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3636 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3637 default implementation more easily.
3640 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3644 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3645 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3648 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3649 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3650 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3651 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3653 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3654 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3655 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3656 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3659 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3660 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3664 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3665 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3666 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3667 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3668 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3669 scalar * generator).
3670 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3672 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3673 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3674 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3678 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3679 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3680 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3681 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3682 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3683 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3684 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3685 linker additions, eg;
3686 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3689 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3690 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3691 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3694 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3695 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3696 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3700 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3701 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3702 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3703 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3706 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3707 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3708 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3709 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3710 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3711 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3712 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3713 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3714 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3715 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3717 Example for using the new callback interface:
3719 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3723 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3725 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3726 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3727 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3728 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3729 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3730 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3735 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3736 available to TLS with the number defined in
3737 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3740 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3741 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3743 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3744 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3745 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3746 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3748 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3749 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3751 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3752 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3756 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3757 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3760 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3761 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3762 and a macro that behave like
3763 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3765 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3768 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3769 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3770 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3772 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3774 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3777 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3778 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3779 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3780 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3782 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3783 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3784 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3785 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3786 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3787 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3788 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3789 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3791 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3792 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3795 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3796 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3798 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3799 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3800 files while avoiding the low level API.
3802 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3803 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3804 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3805 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3807 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3808 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3809 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3810 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3811 instead of the low level API.
3814 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3815 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3816 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3817 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3818 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3821 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3822 down to the template encoder.
3825 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3826 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3829 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3830 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3831 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3832 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3834 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3835 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3837 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3838 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3840 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3841 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3844 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3845 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3846 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3849 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3850 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3852 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3853 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3855 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3856 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3859 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3863 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3864 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3865 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3866 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3867 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3868 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3870 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3871 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3874 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3875 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3876 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3877 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3878 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3879 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3880 various internal method names.)
3882 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3883 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3885 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3886 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3888 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3889 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3891 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3892 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3893 methods are undefined.
3895 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3896 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3898 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3899 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3900 length of the modulus.
3902 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3903 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3905 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3906 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3908 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3909 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3911 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3912 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3913 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3916 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3917 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3918 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3919 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3921 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3922 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3923 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3924 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3926 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3927 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3929 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3930 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3931 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3932 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3933 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3935 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3936 This applies to the following functions:
3941 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3942 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3944 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3945 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3949 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3954 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3956 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3957 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3958 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3959 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3960 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3962 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3963 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3965 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3966 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3967 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3969 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3970 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3972 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3973 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3974 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3975 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3976 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3978 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3980 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3981 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3982 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3983 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3984 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3985 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3986 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3987 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3988 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3989 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3990 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3991 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3993 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3996 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3997 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3998 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3999 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4001 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4002 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4003 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4004 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4009 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4010 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4011 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4012 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4013 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4015 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4016 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4017 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4018 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4019 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4020 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4021 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4022 adding different types of curves.
4023 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4025 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4026 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4027 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4030 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4031 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4033 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4034 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4035 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4036 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4038 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4040 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4041 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4043 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4044 library. Most notably,
4045 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4046 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4047 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4048 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4049 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4050 extracted before the specific public key;
4051 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4052 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4054 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4055 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4057 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4058 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4059 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4060 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4062 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4063 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4064 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4066 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4067 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4068 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4069 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4070 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4071 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4075 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4077 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4079 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4081 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4082 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4083 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4086 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4087 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4088 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4091 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4094 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4095 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4098 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4099 run algorithm test programs.
4102 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4105 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4106 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4107 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4108 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4109 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4112 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4113 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4116 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4118 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4119 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4120 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4122 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4123 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4125 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4126 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4128 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4129 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4130 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4132 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4133 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4134 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4135 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4136 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4137 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4138 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4141 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4143 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4144 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4146 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4147 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4148 undesirable limitations.
4149 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4151 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4153 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4154 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4155 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4157 The latter two were purportedly from
4158 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4161 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4162 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4163 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4166 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4167 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4170 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4172 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4173 module in FIPS mode.
4176 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4179 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4180 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4181 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4182 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4185 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4187 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4188 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4189 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4190 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4191 the difference induced by this change.
4194 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4196 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4197 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4198 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4199 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4200 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4202 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4203 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4204 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4206 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4207 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4210 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4211 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4212 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4213 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4217 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4218 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4219 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4220 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4221 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4223 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4224 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4225 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4226 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4227 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4228 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4230 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4232 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4233 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4234 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4235 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4236 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4239 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4243 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4244 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4245 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4248 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4249 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4250 structures constant.
4253 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4255 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4258 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4259 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4260 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4261 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4262 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4263 some needed definitions.
4266 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4269 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4270 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4271 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4272 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4275 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4277 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4278 server and client random values. Previously
4279 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4280 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4282 This change has negligible security impact because:
4284 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4287 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4290 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4291 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4294 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4297 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4299 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4302 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4303 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4304 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4306 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4309 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4310 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4313 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4314 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4315 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4317 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4320 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4321 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4322 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4326 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4327 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4328 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4329 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4331 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4332 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4333 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4334 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4338 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4340 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4341 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4342 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4343 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4344 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4347 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4350 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4351 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4353 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4354 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4355 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4356 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4357 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4358 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4359 rather than being initialized to 1.
4362 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4364 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4365 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4366 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4368 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4370 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4372 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4373 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4374 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4375 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4376 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4377 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4380 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4381 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4382 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4383 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4384 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4388 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4389 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4390 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4391 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4392 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4395 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4396 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4397 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4401 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4402 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4404 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4407 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4409 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4411 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4412 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4414 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4416 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4417 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4421 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4422 exiting on the first error in a request.
4425 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4426 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4430 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4431 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4432 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4433 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4435 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4436 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4439 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4440 blocks during encryption.
4443 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4444 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4445 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4446 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4450 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4451 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4452 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4453 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4454 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4458 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4460 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4461 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4462 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4463 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4466 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4467 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4468 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4469 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4470 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4472 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4473 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4474 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4475 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4476 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4477 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4478 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4479 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4480 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4483 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4484 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4485 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4486 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4489 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4490 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4493 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4495 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4496 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4497 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4498 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4499 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4501 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4502 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4503 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4505 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4506 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4507 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4508 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4509 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4511 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4512 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4513 used by default when no-err is given.
4516 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4517 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4519 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4520 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4521 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4522 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4523 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4525 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4526 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4527 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4528 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4530 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4532 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4534 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4536 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4537 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4538 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4539 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4543 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4544 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4546 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4547 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4550 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4551 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4552 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4553 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4556 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4557 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4558 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4559 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4560 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4561 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4562 followup to PR #377.
4565 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4566 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4569 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4570 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4571 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
4572 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
4574 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
4576 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
4579 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
4580 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
4581 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
4582 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
4584 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4588 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
4589 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
4593 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4594 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4595 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4596 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4597 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4598 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4600 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4601 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4602 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4603 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4604 have to be made anyway).
4607 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4608 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4609 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4612 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4613 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4614 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4617 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4618 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4619 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4621 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4622 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4623 edit numbers of the version.
4624 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4626 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
4627 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4628 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4630 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4631 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4633 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4634 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4635 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4637 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4638 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4640 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4641 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4643 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4644 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4646 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4647 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4649 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4651 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4653 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4654 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4655 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4657 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4658 representations in a platform independent manner.
4659 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4661 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4662 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4663 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4665 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4667 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4669 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4670 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4672 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4674 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4676 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4677 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4678 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4680 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4682 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4684 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4685 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4687 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4688 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4690 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4691 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4693 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4694 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4696 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4698 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4700 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4701 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4703 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

4706 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4707 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4709 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4711 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4712 the 0.9.6 release series:
4714 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4715 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4717 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4719 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4722 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4723 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4725 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4726 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4728 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4729 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4730 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4731 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4733 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4734 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4735 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4737 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4738 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4739 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4740 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4742 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4743 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4744 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4747 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4748 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4749 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4750 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4751 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4752 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4753 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4754 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4757 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4758 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4759 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4762 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4763 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4764 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4765 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4766 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4768 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4769 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4771 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4772 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4775 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4776 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4777 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4778 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4779 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4780 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4783 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4784 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4785 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4788 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4789 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4792 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4793 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4794 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4795 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4796 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4797 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4798 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4801 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4802 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4803 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4804 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4805 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4806 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4809 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4810 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4811 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4812 declaration has been changed from
4815 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4816 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4817 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4818 has been changed into
4819 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4821 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4822 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4823 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4825 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4826 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4828 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4829 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4830 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4831 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4832 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4833 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4834 always load it have also been added.
4837 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4838 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4839 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4841 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4843 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4844 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4845 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4847 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4848 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4849 command line option can be used to specify an
4853 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4854 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4857 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4858 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4859 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4862 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4863 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4864 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4865 to work with the new engine framework.
4866 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4868 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4869 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4870 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4871 to work with the new engine framework.
4874 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4875 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4876 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4878 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4879 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4881 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4882 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4883 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4884 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4886 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4888 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4889 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4891 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4892 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4894 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4895 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4896 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4899 *) Add new functions
4901 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4902 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4903 These are similar to
4906 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4907 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4908 still in the error queue.
4909 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4911 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4913 default_algorithms = ALL
4914 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4917 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4920 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4923 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4924 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4925 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4926 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4928 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4929 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4931 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4932 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4934 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4935 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4938 *) New functions/macros
4940 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4941 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4942 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4943 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4945 to request calling a callback function
4947 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4948 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4950 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4951 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4952 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4953 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4954 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4955 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4956 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4957 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4958 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4959 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4961 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4962 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4965 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4966 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4967 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4968 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4969 the configuration scripts.
4971 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4972 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4973 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4975 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4976 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4978 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4979 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4980 when reusing an existing buffer.
4983 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4984 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4987 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4988 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4991 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4992 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4993 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4994 has the same effect.
4995 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4997 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4998 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4999 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5000 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5001 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5002 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5005 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5006 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5007 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5008 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5010 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5011 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5012 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5013 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5015 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5016 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5019 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5020 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5021 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5022 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5023 default), and then completely removed.
5026 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5027 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5028 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5029 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5030 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5031 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5032 particular extension is supported.
5035 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5036 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5039 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5040 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5041 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5042 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5043 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5044 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5045 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5046 requires the destination to be valid.
5048 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5049 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5052 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5053 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5054 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5057 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5058 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5060 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5061 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5062 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5063 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5064 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5065 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5066 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5067 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5068 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5069 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5070 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5071 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5072 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5073 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5074 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5075 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5076 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5077 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5078 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5082 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5085 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5086 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5087 become part of libeay.num as well.
5090 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5091 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5092 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
5093 false once a handshake has been completed.
5094 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5095 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5096 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5097 client has followed the request.)
5100 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5101 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5102 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5103 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5105 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5106 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5107 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5110 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5113 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5114 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5115 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5118 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5119 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5122 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5123 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5124 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5125 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5128 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5129 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5130 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5131 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5132 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5133 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5136 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5137 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5138 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5139 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5140 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5141 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5142 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5143 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5146 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5147 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5150 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5153 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5154 md_data void pointer.
5157 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5158 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5159 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5160 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5161 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5162 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5165 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5166 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5167 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5168 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5169 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5170 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5171 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5172 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5173 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5174 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5175 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5176 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5177 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5178 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5179 rather than letting it slide.
5181 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5182 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5183 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5186 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5187 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5188 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5189 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5190 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5191 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5192 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5193 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5194 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5197 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5198 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5199 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5200 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5201 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5203 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5206 *) Add EVP test program.
5209 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5212 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5213 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5214 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5215 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5216 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5219 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5220 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5221 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5222 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5223 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5224 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5225 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5227 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5228 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5229 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5234 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5235 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5236 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5237 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5238 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5242 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5243 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5244 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5245 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5248 des_key_schedule ks;
5250 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5251 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5253 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5256 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5257 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5258 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5259 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5260 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5261 functions prevents this.
5264 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5267 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5268 correct _ecb suffix.
5271 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5272 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5273 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5274 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5275 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5278 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5281 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5282 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5283 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5284 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5286 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5287 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5289 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5290 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5291 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5292 via Richard Levitte]
5294 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5295 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5296 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5297 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5300 *) Speed up EVP routines.
5303 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

5318 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5319 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5321 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5322 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5323 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5324 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5325 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5326 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5329 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5330 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5333 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5334 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5335 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5336 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5338 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5339 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5340 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5341 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5342 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5343 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5347 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5348 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5349 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5350 and interrupts/cancellations.
5353 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5354 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5357 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5358 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5359 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5361 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5362 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5366 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5367 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5368 than this minimum value is recommended.
5371 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5372 that are easily reachable.
5375 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5376 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5378 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5380 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5381 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5382 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5383 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5386 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5387 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5388 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5391 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5392 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5393 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5394 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5395 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5396 internally such as S/MIME.
5398 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5399 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5400 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5402 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5406 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5407 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5408 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5409 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5411 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5413 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5415 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5416 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5417 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5421 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5422 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5423 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5424 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5425 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5426 a window system and the like.
5429 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5430 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5433 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5434 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5435 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5436 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5437 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5438 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5439 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5440 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5441 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5445 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5446 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5450 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5451 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5452 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5453 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5454 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5455 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5456 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5457 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5460 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5461 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5462 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5463 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5464 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5465 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5466 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5467 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5468 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5469 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5470 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5471 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5472 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5473 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5474 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5475 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5476 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5479 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5480 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5481 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5482 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5483 internal engine_int.h header.
5486 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5487 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5488 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5489 modify their own ones).
5492 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5493 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5494 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5495 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5496 later on via ctrl() commands.
5497 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5498 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5499 structural references.
5500 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5501 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5502 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5503 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5504 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5505 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5506 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5507 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5508 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5509 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5510 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5511 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5514 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5515 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5516 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5517 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5518 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5519 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5520 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5521 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5524 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5525 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5528 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5529 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5532 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5533 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5534 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5535 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5536 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5537 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5538 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5541 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5542 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5543 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5544 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5545 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5547 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5548 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5552 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5554 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5555 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5556 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5558 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5559 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5561 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5562 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5563 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5565 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5566 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5568 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5569 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5571 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5573 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5574 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5575 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5578 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5579 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5582 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5583 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5584 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5585 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5586 is 40 of more characters long.
5589 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5590 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5594 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5595 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5598 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5599 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5603 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5605 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5606 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5609 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5611 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5612 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5613 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5615 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5616 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5618 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5621 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5625 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5626 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5627 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5628 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5630 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5632 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5633 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5635 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5636 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5637 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5638 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5639 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5640 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5642 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5643 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5645 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5646 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5648 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5649 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5651 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5652 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5653 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5654 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5656 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5657 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5659 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5660 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5662 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5663 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5664 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5665 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5666 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5669 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5670 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5671 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5672 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5675 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5676 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5677 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5681 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5682 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5683 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5684 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5685 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5686 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5687 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5688 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5692 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5693 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5696 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5697 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5698 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5699 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5702 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5703 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5704 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5705 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5706 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5707 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5708 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5709 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5710 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5711 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5714 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5715 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5716 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5717 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5718 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5719 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5720 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5721 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5723 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5724 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5725 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5726 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5729 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5730 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5731 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5732 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5734 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5735 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5736 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5737 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5738 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5742 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5743 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5744 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5745 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5749 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5750 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5751 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5754 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5755 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5756 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5757 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5758 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5761 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5764 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5765 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5766 option to ocsp utility.
5769 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5770 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5771 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5772 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5773 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5774 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5775 the request is nonce-less.
5778 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5779 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5780 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5783 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5784 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5785 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5788 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5789 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5790 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5791 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5792 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5795 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5796 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5800 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5801 additional certificates supplied.
5804 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5805 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5809 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5810 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5813 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5814 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5815 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5816 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5817 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5818 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5819 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5820 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5821 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5823 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5824 request to response.
5827 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5828 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5829 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5830 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5831 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5832 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5833 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5834 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5835 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5836 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5837 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5840 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5841 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5842 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5843 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5846 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5847 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5849 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5850 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5851 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5854 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5855 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5856 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5857 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5858 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5860 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5861 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5862 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5865 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5866 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5867 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5868 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5869 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5870 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5871 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5872 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5874 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5875 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5876 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5877 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5878 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5879 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5882 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5883 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5884 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5885 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5886 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5887 printout format cleaned up.
5890 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5891 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5892 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5893 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5894 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5895 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5896 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5897 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5900 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5901 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5902 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5903 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5904 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5905 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5906 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5907 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5910 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5911 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5912 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5913 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5915 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5917 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5918 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5919 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5920 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5923 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5924 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5925 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5926 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5928 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5930 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5931 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5932 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5933 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5935 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5936 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5938 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5939 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5940 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5943 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5944 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5945 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5948 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5949 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5950 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5951 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5952 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5953 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5954 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5955 functions are provided:
5957 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5958 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5959 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5960 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5962 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5963 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5964 extended allocation function is enabled.
5965 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5966 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5967 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5969 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5970 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5971 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5972 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5973 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5976 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5977 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5978 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5980 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5981 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5982 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5985 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5986 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5987 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5988 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5989 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5990 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5991 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5992 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5993 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5996 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5997 provide utility functions which an application needing
5998 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5999 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6000 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6002 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6003 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6004 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6005 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6006 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6007 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6008 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6009 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6010 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6012 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6013 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6014 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6015 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6018 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6019 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6020 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6021 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6022 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6023 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6024 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6025 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6026 will be added elsewhere.
6029 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6030 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6031 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6032 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6035 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6036 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6037 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6038 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6039 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6040 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6041 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6042 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6043 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6044 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6045 to produce the required SET OF.
6048 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6049 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6050 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6053 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6054 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6055 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6056 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6057 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6058 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6061 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6062 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6063 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6066 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6067 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6068 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6071 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6072 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6073 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6074 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6075 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6078 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6079 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6082 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6083 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6084 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6085 certifcates and CRLs.
6088 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6089 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6090 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6093 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
6094 entries for variables.
6097 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6098 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6099 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6100 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6103 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6104 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6105 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6106 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6107 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6108 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6111 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6112 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6114 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6115 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6116 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6119 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6123 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6124 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6125 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6126 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6127 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6128 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6131 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6134 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6135 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6136 for now but they will eventually go away.
6139 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6140 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6141 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6142 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6143 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6144 has also been converted to the new form.
6147 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6148 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6149 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6150 for negative moduli.
6153 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6154 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6157 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6161 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6162 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6163 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6164 type-specific callbacks.
6167 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6169 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6170 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6172 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6173 in sections depending on the subject.
6176 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6180 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6181 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6182 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6183 be handled deterministically).
6184 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6186 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6187 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6188 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6191 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6194 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6195 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6196 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6197 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6198 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6201 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6202 sign of the number in question.
6204 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6206 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6207 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6208 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6209 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6210 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6213 *) New function BN_swap.
6216 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6217 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6218 results on negative inputs.
6221 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6222 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6223 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6226 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6227 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6228 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6229 and add new functions:
6238 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6242 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6244 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6245 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6247 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6248 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6249 be reduced modulo m.
6250 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6253 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
6254 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6255 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6257 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6258 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6259 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6260 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6261 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6262 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6267 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6268 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6269 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6270 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6271 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6273 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6274 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6275 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6279 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6282 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6283 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6286 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6287 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6288 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6289 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6293 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6296 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6299 *) Add the following functions:
6301 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6303 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6305 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6307 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6308 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6309 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6310 libraries unless it's really needed.
6312 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6313 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6314 declarations (they differed!).
6317 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6320 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6323 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6326 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6327 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6330 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6331 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6332 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6334 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6335 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6338 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6341 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6344 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6347 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6348 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6349 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6351 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6352 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6353 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6354 different shared library filenames on each system.
6357 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6360 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6361 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6362 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6364 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6367 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6368 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6369 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6370 binary backward compatibility.
6371 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6372 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6373 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6377 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6378 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6379 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6380 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6384 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6387 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6388 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6389 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6390 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6394 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6397 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6399 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6400 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6401 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6403 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6405 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6407 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6408 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6411 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6413 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6415 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6416 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6418 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6419 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6423 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6424 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6428 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6429 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6430 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6431 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6433 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6434 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6437 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6439 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6440 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6441 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6442 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6445 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6446 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6447 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6448 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6449 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6451 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6452 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6453 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6454 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6455 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6456 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6457 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6458 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6459 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6462 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6464 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6465 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6466 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6467 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6468 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6470 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6471 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6472 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6474 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6476 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6477 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6478 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6479 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6480 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6481 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6484 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6485 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6486 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6487 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6488 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6491 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6492 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6493 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6495 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6496 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6497 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6501 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6502 being properly terminated.
6505 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6506 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6507 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6508 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6510 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6511 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6512 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6513 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6514 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6515 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6516 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6518 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6520 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6521 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6524 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6525 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6526 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),

6530 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6531 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6533 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6534 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6535 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6536 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6537 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6539 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6540 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6543 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6545 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6546 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6547 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6549 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6551 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6552 and get fix the header length calculation.
6553 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6554 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6557 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6558 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6559 assertions could call abort()).
6560 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6562 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6564 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6565 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6566 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6568 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6570 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6571 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6572 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6575 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6579 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6580 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6581 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6583 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6584 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6585 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6586 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6587 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6591 *) Changes in security patch:
6593 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6594 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6595 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6598 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6599 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6600 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6601 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6602 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6604 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6606 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6608 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6609 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6610 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6612 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6613 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6614 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6616 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6617 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6618 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6620 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6622 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6623 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6624 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6626 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6627 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6629 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6630 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6631 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6632 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6633 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6634 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6637 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6638 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6639 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6640 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6643 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6646 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6647 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6648 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6649 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6650 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6651 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6653 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6654 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6655 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6656 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6657 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6660 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6661 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6662 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6663 BN_generate_prime().)
6665 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6666 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6667 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6671 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6672 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6675 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6676 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6677 when using non-blocking I/O.
6678 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6680 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6681 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6683 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6684 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6687 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6688 configuration for the versions before that.
6689 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6691 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6692 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6693 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6694 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6697 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6698 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6699 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6702 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6706 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6707 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6708 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6710 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6711 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6713 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6714 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6715 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6716 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6717 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6718 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6719 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6722 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6723 using a local variable.
6724 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6726 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6727 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6728 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6730 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6733 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6734 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6736 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6737 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6738 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6740 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6742 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6743 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6744 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6745 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6748 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6752 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6753 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6754 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6755 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6756 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6758 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6759 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6760 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6762 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6763 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6764 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6766 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6767 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6768 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6769 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6771 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6772 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6773 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6775 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6777 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6778 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6780 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6782 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6783 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6784 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6785 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6787 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6788 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6789 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6790 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6792 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6793 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6795 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6796 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6797 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6800 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6801 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6802 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6804 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6806 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6807 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6808 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6809 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6810 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6811 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6812 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6815 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6816 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6817 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6818 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6820 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6821 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6822 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6823 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6824 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6825 the client will at least see that alert.
6828 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6832 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6833 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6834 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6836 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6837 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6838 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6839 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6842 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6843 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6844 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6846 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6847 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6848 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6849 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6850 may leak via logfiles.)
6852 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6853 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6854 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6855 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6859 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6860 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6863 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6864 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6865 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6866 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6867 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6870 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6871 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6873 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6874 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6875 followed by modular reduction.
6876 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6878 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6879 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6882 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6883 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6884 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6885 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6888 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6891 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6892 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6895 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6896 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6897 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6898 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6899 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6900 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6902 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6904 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6905 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6906 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6907 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6908 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6910 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6913 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6914 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6915 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6916 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6917 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6918 to allow the necessary settings.
6921 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6922 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6923 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6924 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6927 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6928 dh->length and always used
6930 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6932 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6933 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6934 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6935 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6936 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6941 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6943 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6949 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6950 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6951 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6952 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6954 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6955 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6956 always reject numbers >= n.
6959 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6960 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6961 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6962 variable) is not atomic.
6965 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6966 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6967 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6968 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6970 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6971 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6973 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6975 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6977 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6980 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6982 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6983 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6984 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6985 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6986 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6987 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6988 to traverse all of 'state'.
6990 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6991 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6992 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6994 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6995 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6997 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6998 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6999 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7000 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7001 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7002 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7003 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7004 further strengthens the PRNG.
7007 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7010 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7011 an error message in this case.
7014 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7017 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7018 positive and less than q.
7021 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7022 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7024 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7026 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7027 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7031 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7033 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7034 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7035 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7036 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7037 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7038 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7039 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7042 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7043 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7044 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7045 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7047 Both problems are now fixed.
7050 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7051 (previously it was 1024).
7054 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7055 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7058 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7061 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7062 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7063 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7066 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7067 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7068 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7069 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7070 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7071 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7072 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7073 environment variables.
7075 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7076 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7077 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7080 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7081 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7082 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7083 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7084 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7085 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7088 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7092 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7094 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7095 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7097 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7098 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7099 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7100 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7104 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7105 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7106 amount of data available.
7107 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7108 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7110 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7111 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7112 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7113 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7116 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7117 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7121 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7122 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7123 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7124 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7127 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7130 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7133 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7134 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7136 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7138 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7139 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7140 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7141 (but broken) behaviour.
7144 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7146 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7148 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7149 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7152 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7156 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7157 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7159 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7162 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7163 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7164 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7166 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7167 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7168 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7171 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7172 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7175 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7176 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7178 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7180 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7182 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7183 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7184 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7185 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7188 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7191 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7192 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7193 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7195 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7198 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7200 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7201 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7202 but the code is actually correct.
7205 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7206 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7207 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7208 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7209 and leaves the highest bit random.
7210 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7212 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7213 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7214 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7215 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7216 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7217 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7218 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7221 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7224 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7225 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7228 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7229 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7230 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7231 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7235 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7236 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7237 and break the signature.
7239 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7241 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7245 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7246 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7247 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7248 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7249 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7252 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7253 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7255 *) ./config script fixes.
7256 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7258 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7261 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7262 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7263 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7264 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7265 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7267 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7268 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7271 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7272 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7275 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7276 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7277 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7278 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7280 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7281 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7283 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7284 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7285 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7286 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7287 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7289 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7292 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7295 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7298 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7301 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7302 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7305 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7306 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7307 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7308 result of the server certificate verification.)
7311 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7312 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7313 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7317 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7318 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7319 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7320 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7321 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7322 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7323 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7324 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7327 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7328 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7329 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7330 happening the other way round.
7333 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7334 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7337 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7338 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7339 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7340 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7343 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7344 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7346 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7348 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7349 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7350 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7353 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7355 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7357 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7361 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7363 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7364 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7365 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7366 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7367 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7369 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7370 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7374 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7377 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7379 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7380 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7381 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7382 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7383 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7384 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7385 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7386 by the Finished messages.
7389 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7390 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7392 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7393 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7394 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7395 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7396 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7400 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7401 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7402 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7403 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7404 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7405 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7406 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7407 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7408 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7412 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7413 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7414 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7415 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7417 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7418 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7419 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7420 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7421 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7424 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7425 been tested well enough.
7428 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7429 it can return incorrect results.
7430 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7431 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7434 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7435 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7436 include zero length content when signing messages.
7439 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7440 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7443 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7446 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7450 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7451 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7452 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7453 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7454 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7455 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7458 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7459 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7461 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7462 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7464 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7465 random number < q in the DSA library.
7468 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7469 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7470 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7471 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7472 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7473 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7474 just makes things more complicated.)
7477 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7481 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7482 work better on such systems.
7483 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7485 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7486 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7487 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7490 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7491 if there was more than one signature.
7492 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7494 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7495 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7496 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7497 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7500 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7501 rather than always using the current time.
7504 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7505 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7506 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7507 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7508 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7509 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7511 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7512 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7514 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7516 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7517 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7518 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7519 the same hash value.
7521 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7522 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7523 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7524 with X509_STORE internally.
7526 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7527 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7529 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7530 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7531 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7532 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7533 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7534 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7535 entirely (maybe later...).
7537 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7539 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7540 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7541 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7542 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7543 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7544 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7545 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7546 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7548 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7549 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7551 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7552 to customise the verify behaviour.
7555 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7556 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7559 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7560 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7561 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7562 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7563 request is improperly encoded.
7566 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7567 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7570 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7571 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7573 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7574 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7578 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7579 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7580 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7583 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7584 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7585 BIO/fp routines also added.
7588 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7589 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7591 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7592 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7593 demos/state_machine.
7596 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7597 generation and verification.
7600 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7601 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7602 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7603 encode and decode it manually.
7606 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7608 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7610 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7611 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7612 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7613 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7615 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7616 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7617 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7618 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7619 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7622 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7625 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7626 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7627 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7629 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7630 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7631 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7632 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7633 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7634 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7635 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7636 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7638 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7639 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7641 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7643 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7644 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7645 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7649 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7650 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7651 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7652 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7656 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7658 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7661 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7662 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7663 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7664 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7665 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7666 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7667 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7668 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7669 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7670 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7671 short or long names are found.
7674 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7675 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7677 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7678 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7679 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7680 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7682 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7683 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7684 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7685 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7688 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7689 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7690 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7693 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7694 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7695 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7696 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7697 to allow the various flags to be set.
7700 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7701 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7702 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7703 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7704 dates to be checked.
7707 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7708 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7709 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7712 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7713 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7714 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7717 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7718 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7721 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7722 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7723 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7724 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7725 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7726 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7729 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7730 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7734 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7738 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7739 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7740 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7741 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7742 form signing output easier to verify.
7745 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7748 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7749 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7750 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7751 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7752 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7753 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7754 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7755 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7756 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7757 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7760 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7762 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7763 the syntax given in objects.README.
7764 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7766 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7769 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7770 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7771 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7772 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7773 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7774 consistent name changes.
7777 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7780 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7781 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7782 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7783 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7786 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7787 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7788 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7792 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7793 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7794 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7795 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7798 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7799 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7800 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7801 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7802 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7803 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7804 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7805 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7806 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7807 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7808 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7811 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7812 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7813 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7814 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7815 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7816 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7817 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7818 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7819 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7820 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7823 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7824 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7825 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7826 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7828 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7829 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7830 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7831 omit any duplicate addresses.
7834 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7835 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7838 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7839 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7840 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7841 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7842 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7845 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7847 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7848 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7849 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7850 Free => OPENSSL_free
7853 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7854 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7857 *) CygWin32 support.
7858 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7860 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7861 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7862 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7863 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7864 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7868 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7869 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7870 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7871 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7872 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7873 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7874 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7877 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7878 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7879 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7880 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7881 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7882 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7883 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7884 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7885 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7886 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7887 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7890 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7891 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7892 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7893 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7894 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7896 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7897 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7898 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7899 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7900 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7902 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7905 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7906 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7907 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7908 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7910 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7912 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7915 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7916 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7917 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7920 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7921 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7922 any installed hardware versions can.
7925 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7926 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7927 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7931 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7932 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7933 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7934 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7935 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7937 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7938 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7941 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7942 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7945 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7946 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7947 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7951 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7954 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7955 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7956 but no ssl client purpose.
7957 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7959 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7960 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7961 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7962 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7963 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7964 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7965 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7966 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7967 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7968 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7969 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7972 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7973 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7974 be obtained from the error queue.
7977 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7978 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7979 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7980 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7983 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7986 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7987 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7988 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7989 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7990 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7993 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7994 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7995 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7996 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7997 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8000 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8001 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8002 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8004 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8006 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8007 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8008 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8009 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8010 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8011 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8012 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8013 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8014 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8015 or "the configuration storage API"...
8017 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8019 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8020 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8022 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8024 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8026 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8027 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8028 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8029 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8030 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8031 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8032 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8034 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8035 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8038 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8039 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8040 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8041 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8044 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8045 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8046 them in a portable way.
8047 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8049 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8051 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8053 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8054 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8056 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8057 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8058 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8061 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8062 was larger than the MD block size.
8063 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8065 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8066 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8067 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8068 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8072 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8073 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8074 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8076 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8078 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8080 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8081 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8082 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8083 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8084 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8085 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8087 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8088 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8090 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8091 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8094 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8097 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8098 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8100 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8101 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8102 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
8103 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8106 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8107 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8108 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8109 does not suppress any output.
8112 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8113 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8114 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8115 with all the associated security issues.
8117 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8118 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8119 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8120 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8121 use the value in the default purpose.
8124 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8125 and fix a memory leak.
8128 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8129 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8130 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8131 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8134 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8135 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8136 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8137 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8140 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8141 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8142 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8145 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8146 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8149 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8150 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8154 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8155 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8158 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8159 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8160 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8163 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8164 number generation fails.
8167 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8170 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8171 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8173 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8176 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8177 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8179 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8180 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8182 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8184 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8185 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8188 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8189 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8191 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8192 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8195 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8196 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8197 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8198 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8199 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8200 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8202 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8203 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8204 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8208 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8209 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8210 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8211 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8212 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8213 counter, some don't.)
8214 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8215 counters or duplicate objects.
8218 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8219 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8222 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8223 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8224 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8226 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8227 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8228 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8232 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8233 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8236 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8237 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8238 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8242 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8243 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8244 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8247 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8248 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8249 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8250 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8251 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8252 should work without changes.
8255 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8256 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8257 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8258 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8259 must be defined. E.g.,
8260 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8261 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8262 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8263 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8265 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8269 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8270 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8271 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8274 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8275 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8276 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8277 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8280 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8281 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8282 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8283 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8284 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8285 is prompted for as usual.
8288 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8289 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8290 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8291 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8293 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8294 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8295 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8296 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8299 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8302 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8306 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8309 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8312 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8316 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8319 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8322 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8323 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8326 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8327 options to produce them.
8330 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8331 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8334 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8338 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8339 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8340 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8341 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8342 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8343 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8344 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8347 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8350 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8351 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8352 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8355 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8356 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8358 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8359 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8362 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8363 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8364 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8368 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8369 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8371 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8372 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8373 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8374 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8375 generation becomes much faster.
8377 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8378 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8379 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8380 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8381 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8382 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8383 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8384 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8385 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8386 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8389 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8390 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8391 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8392 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8393 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8394 trial division stage.
8397 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8401 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8404 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8407 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8408 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8409 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8413 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8414 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8415 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8418 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8419 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8420 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8421 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8423 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8424 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8427 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8430 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8431 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8432 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8433 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8436 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8437 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8438 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8441 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8442 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8443 (instead of parameters) in future.
8446 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8447 when a new cipher list is set.
8450 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8451 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8454 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8455 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8456 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8458 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8459 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8460 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8461 an error is flagged.
8463 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8464 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8465 the readability was also increased :-)
8466 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8468 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8469 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8470 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8471 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8475 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8476 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8479 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8480 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8481 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8482 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8485 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8486 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8487 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8488 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8489 because they handle more complex structures.)
8492 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8493 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8494 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8495 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8497 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8498 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8499 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8500 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8501 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8502 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8503 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8506 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8507 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8508 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8509 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8510 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8513 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8516 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8517 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8518 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8519 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8520 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8523 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8527 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8528 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8529 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8530 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8533 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8536 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8537 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8538 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8539 international characters are used.
8541 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8542 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8543 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8547 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8548 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8549 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8552 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8553 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8554 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8555 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8556 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8557 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8559 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8560 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8561 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8562 be handled by the string table functions.
8564 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8565 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8566 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8567 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8568 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8572 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8573 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8574 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8575 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8576 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8578 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8579 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8580 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8581 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8584 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8585 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8586 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8587 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8588 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8592 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8593 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8594 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8595 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8596 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8597 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8598 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8599 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8601 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8602 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8603 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8606 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8607 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8608 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8609 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8610 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8611 support to pkcs8 application.
8614 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8615 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8616 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8617 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8618 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8619 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8622 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8623 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8624 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8625 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8626 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8630 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8631 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8632 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8633 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8637 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8638 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8639 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8640 and any application specific purposes.
8642 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8643 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8644 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8645 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8646 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8647 if the certificate is self signed.
8650 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8651 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8654 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8655 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8656 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8657 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8660 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8661 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8662 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8663 Update documentation.
8666 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8667 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8668 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8669 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8670 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8673 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8675 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8677 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8678 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8679 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8680 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8681 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8682 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8683 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8684 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8685 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8686 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8688 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8690 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8691 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8692 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8693 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8694 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8696 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8697 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8698 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8699 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8700 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8701 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8702 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8703 request additional information:
8704 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8705 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8707 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8708 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8709 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8712 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8713 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8716 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8719 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8720 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8722 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8723 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8724 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8728 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8729 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8730 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8732 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8733 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8734 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8735 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8736 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8737 included in OpenSSL.
8740 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8741 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8742 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8743 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8744 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8745 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8748 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8752 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8753 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8754 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8755 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8756 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8760 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8764 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8765 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8766 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8767 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8768 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8769 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8770 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8771 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8772 be maintained manually.
8774 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8775 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8776 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8777 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8778 work because people forget to call this function]
8779 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8780 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8781 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8784 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8785 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8786 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8787 should be discouraged from doing it.
8790 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8791 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8792 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8793 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8794 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8795 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8798 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8799 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8800 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8802 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8803 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8804 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8806 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8807 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8808 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8809 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8810 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8811 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8813 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8814 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8815 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8817 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8818 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8821 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8822 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8823 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8824 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8827 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8830 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8831 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8832 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8833 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8834 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8835 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8836 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8837 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8838 keys so we should be OK.
8840 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8841 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8842 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8843 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8844 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8845 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8846 stay in the name of compatibility.
8848 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8849 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8850 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8852 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8853 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8854 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8855 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8856 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8857 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8861 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8862 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8863 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8864 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8865 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8866 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8867 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8868 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8869 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8870 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8871 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8872 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8873 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8876 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8879 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8880 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8881 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8882 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8883 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8884 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8885 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8886 openssl verify ss.pem
8887 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8888 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8892 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8893 (and add it to external session representation).
8894 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8895 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8896 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8897 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8898 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8899 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8901 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8903 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8904 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8905 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8906 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8908 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8909 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8910 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8913 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8914 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8915 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8919 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8920 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8921 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8923 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8924 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8925 certificate auxiliary information.
8928 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8932 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8933 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8934 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8935 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8936 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8937 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8938 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8941 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8942 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8945 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8946 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8947 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8948 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8951 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8954 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8955 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8958 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8959 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8960 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8961 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8962 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8963 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8964 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8965 using the new 'x509' options.
8967 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8968 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8969 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8970 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8974 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8975 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8976 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8977 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8978 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8981 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8982 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8983 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8984 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8985 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8986 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8987 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8988 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8989 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8990 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8993 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8994 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8995 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8996 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8997 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8998 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8999 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9002 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9003 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9004 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9005 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9006 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9007 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9008 openssl.cnf for more info.
9011 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9012 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9013 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9014 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9015 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9016 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9017 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9018 md should be large enough anyway.
9021 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9022 for handling the random seed file.
9024 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9026 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9029 x509 (when signing).
9030 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9031 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9032 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9034 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9035 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9036 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9037 that support '-rand'.
9040 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9041 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9044 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9045 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9048 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9049 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9050 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9051 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9055 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9056 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9057 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9058 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9061 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9062 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9063 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9064 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9065 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9066 print out all the purposes.
9069 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9073 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9074 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9075 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9076 single function call.
9079 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9080 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9083 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9084 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9085 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9088 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9089 when producing the local key id.
9090 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9092 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9093 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9094 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9098 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9099 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9100 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9101 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9104 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9105 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9106 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9107 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9109 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9110 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9111 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9112 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9114 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9115 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9116 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9117 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9118 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9119 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9120 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9121 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9122 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9123 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9124 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9125 trivial: move one line.
9126 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9128 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9129 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9130 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9131 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9132 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9133 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9134 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9135 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9136 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9137 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9138 with an event loop for example.
9141 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9142 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9143 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9144 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9145 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9146 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9147 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9148 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9149 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9152 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9153 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9154 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9155 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9156 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9157 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9160 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9161 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9162 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9163 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9165 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9166 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9167 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9168 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9172 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9173 (still largely untested)
9176 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9177 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9180 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9181 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9184 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9185 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9186 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9189 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9190 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9191 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9192 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9193 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9196 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9199 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9200 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9201 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9202 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9203 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9207 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9208 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9211 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9214 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9215 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9216 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9217 are otherwise ignored at present.
9220 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9221 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9222 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9223 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9224 copied until the next read.
9227 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9228 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9229 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9232 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9233 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9234 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9235 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9236 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9237 associated functions.
9240 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9241 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9242 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9243 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9244 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9245 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9246 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9247 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9248 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9252 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9253 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9254 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9255 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9258 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9259 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9260 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9261 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9262 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9266 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9267 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9271 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9272 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9273 extensions to be obtained and added.
9276 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9277 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9280 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9282 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9283 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9285 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9286 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9288 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9292 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9293 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9294 DH parameters contain its length).
9296 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9297 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9298 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9299 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9300 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9301 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9302 utter importance to use
9303 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9305 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9306 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9307 attacks may become possible!
9310 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9313 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9314 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9317 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9318 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9319 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9323 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9324 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9325 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9326 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9327 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9328 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9329 private key operations.
9332 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9335 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9336 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9338 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9339 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9340 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9341 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9342 the password callback is called.
9343 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9345 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9347 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9348 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9349 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9350 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9351 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9352 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9355 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9356 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9357 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9358 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9359 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9360 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9363 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9366 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9367 delete an unused file.
9370 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9371 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9372 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9373 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9376 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9377 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9378 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9382 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9383 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9384 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9386 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9387 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9388 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9389 comparison" warnings.
9390 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9393 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9394 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9395 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9398 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9399 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9401 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9402 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9404 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9405 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9406 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9408 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9409 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9410 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9411 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9412 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9414 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9416 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9417 The interface is as follows:
9418 Applications can use
9419 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9420 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9421 "off" is now the default.
9422 The library internally uses
9423 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9424 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9425 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9427 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9428 even the default) are now avoided.
9430 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9431 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9432 than just having a counter.
9434 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9436 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9440 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9441 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9442 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9443 Initial "mode" flags are:
9445 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9446 a single record has been written.
9447 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9448 retries use the same buffer location.
9449 (But all of the contents must be
9453 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9456 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9457 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9459 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9460 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9461 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9464 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9465 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9467 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9469 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9470 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9471 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9472 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9474 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9475 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9477 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9478 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9479 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9480 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9481 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9482 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9485 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9486 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9487 necessary function names.
9490 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9491 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9492 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9493 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9496 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9497 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9498 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9501 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9502 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9503 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9504 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9506 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9510 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9511 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9512 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9515 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9516 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9520 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9521 for the encoded length.
9522 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9524 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9527 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9528 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9529 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9530 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9533 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9534 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9535 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9537 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9538 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9539 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9543 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9544 to use the new extension code.
9547 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9548 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9549 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9553 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9554 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9555 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9559 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9562 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9563 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9564 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9567 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9568 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9569 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9570 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9573 *) DES library cleanups.
9576 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9577 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9578 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9579 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9580 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9584 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9585 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9588 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9589 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9590 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9591 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9592 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9593 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9594 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9595 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9596 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9599 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9600 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9601 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9602 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9603 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9604 value doesn't matter.
9607 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9611 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9612 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9613 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9614 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9616 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9619 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9620 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9621 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9623 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9624 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9626 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9629 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9632 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9635 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9639 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9641 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9643 *) Updated some demos.
9644 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9646 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9649 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9652 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9655 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9656 instead of using a fixed path.
9659 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9662 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9666 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9668 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9669 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9670 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9672 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9673 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9674 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9675 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9676 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9677 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9678 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9679 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9680 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9681 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9684 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9685 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9688 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9689 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9690 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9691 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9692 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9694 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9697 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9698 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9699 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9702 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9705 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9706 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9707 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9708 key elements as negative integers.
9711 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9712 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9715 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9717 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9718 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9719 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9722 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9723 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9724 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9725 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9726 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9729 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9732 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9733 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9734 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9735 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9737 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9738 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9739 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9741 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9742 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9743 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9744 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9745 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9746 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9747 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9748 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9749 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9751 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9752 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9753 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9754 does not influence s as it used to.
9756 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9757 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9758 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9759 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9760 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9761 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9764 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9765 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9766 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9770 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9771 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9772 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9776 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9777 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9778 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9782 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9783 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9786 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9787 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9792 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9793 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9795 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9796 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9798 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9801 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9804 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9805 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9807 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9808 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9809 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9813 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9814 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9815 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9816 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9817 now it really counts the depth.
9820 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9821 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9822 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9823 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9824 didn't match the private key).
9826 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9827 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9828 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9831 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9834 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9838 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9839 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9840 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9843 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9846 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9847 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9848 such as /usr/local/bin.
9851 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9852 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9854 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9857 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9858 extension adding in x509 utility.
9861 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9864 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9868 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9871 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9872 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9873 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9874 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9875 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9876 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9877 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9878 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9879 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9880 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9883 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9886 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9887 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9890 *) Fix some race conditions.
9893 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9894 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9897 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9900 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9901 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9902 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9903 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9905 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9906 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9908 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9909 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9910 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9912 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9913 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9915 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9918 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9919 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9921 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9924 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9925 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9927 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9928 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9931 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9932 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9935 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9936 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9939 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9940 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9943 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9944 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9947 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9948 support typesafe stack.
9951 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9952 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9954 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9955 old X509V3 handling code.
9958 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9961 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9964 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9967 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9968 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9970 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9971 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9972 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9973 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9974 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9977 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9978 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9979 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9980 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9981 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9983 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9984 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9985 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9986 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9988 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9989 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9990 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9991 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9993 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9994 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9995 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9996 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9997 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9998 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10001 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10002 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10005 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10006 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10009 *) Tweaks to Configure
10010 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10012 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10016 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10019 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10020 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10023 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10024 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10025 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10028 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10031 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10032 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10035 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10036 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10037 to library startup routines.
10040 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10041 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10042 codes along the way.
10045 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10046 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10047 objects to objects.h
10050 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10051 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10054 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10055 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10057 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10058 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10059 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10061 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10062 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10063 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10065 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10066 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10067 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10070 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10072 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10073 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10076 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10077 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10078 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10079 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10080 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10082 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10083 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10084 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10086 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10088 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10090 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10092 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10093 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10095 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10096 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10097 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10098 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10100 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10103 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10104 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10105 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10106 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10109 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10110 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10111 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10114 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10115 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10116 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10117 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10118 installed as `perl').
10119 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10121 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10122 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10124 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10125 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
10126 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10127 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10128 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10131 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10134 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10135 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10136 is horrible: I feel ill....
10139 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10140 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10141 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10142 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10145 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10146 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10148 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10149 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10150 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10151 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10153 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10154 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10155 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10156 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10157 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10158 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10160 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10162 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10163 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10165 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10166 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10168 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10171 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10172 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10176 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10177 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10178 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10179 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10180 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10181 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10182 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10183 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10184 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10185 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10186 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10188 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10191 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10192 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10193 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10194 for linking it into DSOs.
10195 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10197 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10201 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10202 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10203 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10204 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10205 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10206 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10208 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10209 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10210 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10211 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10212 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10213 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10214 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10216 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10217 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10218 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10222 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10223 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10224 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10225 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10228 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10229 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10230 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10231 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10232 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10236 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10237 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10238 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10239 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10240 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10242 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10243 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10244 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10246 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10247 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10249 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10250 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10251 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10252 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10253 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10256 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10257 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10258 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10259 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10260 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10261 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10262 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10265 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10267 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10268 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10271 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10272 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10274 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10275 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10278 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10279 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10280 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10281 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10282 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10284 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10285 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10286 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10287 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10288 no way to reconfigure them.
10289 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10290 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10291 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10292 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10293 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10294 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10296 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10297 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10298 recognized by the users.
10299 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10301 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10302 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10303 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10304 already masked variable.
10305 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10307 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10308 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10310 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10311 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10312 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10313 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10315 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10316 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10317 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10319 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10320 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10321 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10322 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10323 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10324 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10325 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10326 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10328 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10330 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10331 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10332 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10334 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10335 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10339 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10340 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10342 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10343 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10344 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10345 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10348 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10351 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10352 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10354 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10357 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10358 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10361 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10362 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10365 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10366 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10367 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10368 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10369 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10370 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10371 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10374 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10375 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10377 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10378 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10379 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10380 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10381 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10383 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10384 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10385 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10388 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10389 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10393 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10394 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10395 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10397 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10398 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10399 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10400 build instructions.
10403 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10404 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10405 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10406 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10409 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10410 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10411 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10412 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10415 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10416 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10417 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10418 so it wasn't spotted.
10419 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10421 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10422 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10423 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10424 vectors if you have them.
10427 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10428 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10431 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10432 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10433 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10434 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10436 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10437 it will update them.
10440 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10441 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10442 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10443 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10444 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10445 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10446 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10447 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10449 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10450 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10451 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10452 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10453 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10454 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10455 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10456 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10457 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10458 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10460 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10461 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10462 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10463 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10464 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10467 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10471 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10472 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10474 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10475 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10477 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10478 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10481 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10482 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10484 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10485 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10487 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10490 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10494 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10495 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10496 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10497 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10499 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10502 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10505 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10508 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10509 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10512 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10513 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10517 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10518 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10521 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10522 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10523 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10526 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10527 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10528 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10529 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10530 properly to be processed.
10533 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10534 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10535 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10538 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10539 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10541 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10542 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10543 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10544 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10545 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10546 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10547 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10548 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10549 or delete all the .err files.
10552 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10553 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10554 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10555 to regenerate it if needed.
10556 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10557 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10559 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10560 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10562 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10563 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10564 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10565 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10566 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10569 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10570 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10572 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10573 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10575 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10576 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10577 error, but didn't set one).
10578 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10580 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10583 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10584 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10587 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10588 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10590 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10591 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10592 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10593 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10594 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10595 OID is not part of the table.
10598 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10599 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10602 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10605 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10606 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10610 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10611 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10613 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10615 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10617 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10618 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10620 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10621 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10623 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10624 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10626 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10627 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10630 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10631 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10634 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10635 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10637 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10638 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10640 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10641 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10643 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10644 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10646 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10647 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10648 unused in the certificate verification process.
10649 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10651 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10652 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10655 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10656 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10657 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10659 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10660 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10661 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10662 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10663 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10665 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10666 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10669 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10672 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10675 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10676 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10678 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10681 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10684 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10687 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10688 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10689 other error libraries.
10692 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10695 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10696 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10700 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10701 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10702 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10703 the new set of documenation files.
10704 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10706 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10707 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10708 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10709 number of arguments.
10710 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10712 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10715 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10716 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10717 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10719 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10722 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10726 unixware-2.0-pentium
10730 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10731 before they are needed.
10734 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10738 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10740 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10741 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10742 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10744 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10747 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10748 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10749 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10751 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10752 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10753 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10755 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10756 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10757 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10759 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10760 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10762 *) Updated the README file.
10763 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10765 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10766 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10767 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10769 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10770 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10771 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10773 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10774 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10775 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10776 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10777 o removed obsolete TODO file
10778 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10779 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10781 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10782 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10783 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
10784 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
10785 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
10786 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10787 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10789 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10792 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10793 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10794 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10796 [The OpenSSL Project]
10799 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10801 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10804 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10807 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10808 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10811 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10812 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10816 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10818 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10820 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10823 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10826 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10829 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10832 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10835 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10838 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10841 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10844 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10847 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10850 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10853 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10856 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10859 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10862 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10865 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10868 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10871 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10872 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10873 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10876 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10877 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10880 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10883 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10886 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10887 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10890 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10893 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10896 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10897 bytes sent in the client random.
